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 Christian Dior 80 Oblique Silk Scarf? A: It is a vintage square scarf in 100% silk featuring Dior’s iconic Oblique monogram in blue and white with a solid red border. This piece offers timeless Parisian style and a soft, elegant drape.
Q: What does “80” mean and what are the dimensions? A: “80” refers to the approximate size of the scarf. This piece measures around 80 x 80 cm (about 31.5 x 31.5 inches). As with many vintage scarves, minor variances can occur due to fabric and hemming—please refer to our listed measurements and photos.
Q: Is the scarf reversible? A: No. Like most silk carré scarves, this is single‑layer with the design visible on both sides due to the nature of the silk print, but it is not a reversible construction.
Q: How can I style an 80 cm silk scarf? A: It’s highly versatile: wear it as a neckerchief, classic headscarf, hair tie or wrist wrap; fold into a triangle for a chic bandana; thread through belt loops; or tie onto a handbag handle for a personalised accent.
Q: Is this item unisex? A: Yes. The Oblique motif and colour palette make it a sophisticated, gender‑neutral accessory that suits a wide range of wardrobes and occasions.
Q: What is the condition and what’s included? A: Condition is noted as “Very Good” with a light trace of use. This listing shows “no accessories,” meaning original box or dust bag is not included. Please review the photos and condition notes for details.
Q: How should I care for vintage silk? A: We recommend professional dry cleaning only. Avoid water exposure, perfumes, hairspray and oils; keep away from rough surfaces that may snag the fabric. If creases appear, lightly steam or press on a low silk setting using a pressing cloth—never apply direct high heat.
Q: How should I store the scarf? A: Store flat or loosely rolled in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fade. Avoid leaving it tightly knotted for long periods to minimise deep creases.
Q: How is authenticity verified and will it have a serial number? A: Dior scarves do not have serial numbers or date codes like handbags. Authenticity cues include the quality of the silk and print, neat rolled hems, and appropriate brand/care labels. A Retro Tale conducts rigorous multi‑point authentication on every item.
Q: Will the colours transfer or fade? A: Colour transfer is uncommon with proper care, but we advise avoiding prolonged friction against rough or dark denim, and keeping the scarf away from moisture and prolonged sun exposure to help preserve vibrancy.
