Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the size and shape of this scarf? A: It measures approximately 70 × 70 cm. This square format is ideal for tying as a neckerchief, a headscarf, a slim belt, or wrapping around a bag handle. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What material is it and how is the edge finished? A: It is 100% silk with hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges. This finish is a hallmark of quality on many luxury silk scarves and gives a soft, rounded hem.
Q: What does “Trotter” mean—Is it the same as Dior Oblique? A: Yes, Trotter is commonly used for Dior’s Oblique monogram, created by Marc Bohan in 1967 and revived in later decades. It features a repeating “DIOR” logotype laid on a slant.
Q: How can I style a 70 cm silk scarf? A: Popular options include a simple neckerchief knot, a bandana or headband, a wrist wrap, threading through belt loops, or a bag‑handle wrap. Fold into a long bias band for a neat, secure tie.
Q: How should I clean and care for vintage silk? A: We recommend specialist dry cleaning for luxury vintage silk. If you choose to hand‑wash, do so at your own discretion: use cool water and a silk‑safe detergent, avoid soaking, do not wring, press moisture out with a towel, and dry flat away from heat and sunlight. To refresh creases, use a garment steamer at a safe distance or iron on the reverse on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer? A: Silk dyes can run when wet. Keep the scarf away from rain and humidity, and if hand‑washing, test a concealed corner for colourfastness and wash separately. Apply perfumes, lotions, or hairspray and allow them to dry before putting the scarf on.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, there are no additional items included.
Q: Is this scarf authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, print quality, labels, stitching, and hem finish. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can you date this piece exactly? A: The Trotter/Oblique motif has been produced over multiple decades since 1967, with notable revivals in the 1990s–2000s. Scarves are not date‑coded like bags, so dating relies on labels and construction details; we are happy to provide close‑up photos on request.
