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 are the dimensions and material of this scarf? A: It is a square scarf measuring approximately 80 × 80 cm and is crafted from 100% silk. Please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter print? A: The Trotter motif is Dior’s heritage monogram pattern, often also called Oblique. First introduced under Marc Bohan in the late 1960s, it features a repeating Dior logo. This piece showcases the classic blue and white Trotter with a red border.
Q: How can I wear an 80 cm silk scarf? A: Versatile options include a classic neckerchief (folded into a triangle and tied at the front), bandana-style, headband, wrapped around a ponytail, tied on a handbag handle, or threaded through belt loops. The 80 cm size works well for everyday styling without bulk.
Q: How should I clean and care for a vintage silk scarf? A: For multi‑colour printed silk scarves, professional dry cleaning by a trusted cleaner is recommended. Avoid at‑home stain removers, keep away from perfumes and hairspray, and allow any moisture to evaporate before storing. Store clean and completely dry, away from direct sunlight, ideally flat or loosely rolled in breathable materials.
Q: Can I remove creases at home? A: Yes—use gentle steam at a short distance, or press on the lowest silk setting with a pressing cloth, working on the reverse. Avoid direct, prolonged heat and do not press over the hand‑rolled edges to prevent flattening.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer? A: Dyes on vintage, multi‑colour silk can migrate if exposed to water, heavy friction, or unsuitable detergents. Avoid rain, damp conditions, or rubbing against light leathers and textiles. Professional dry cleaning minimises the risk of colour run.
Q: Does this item come with a box or other accessories? A: No accessories are included with this scarf. Everything provided is listed under Accessories on this page; if it is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Dior scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously examined by our specialists. Typical authenticity markers for Dior silk scarves include a high‑quality silk twill handle, hand‑rolled hems with fine, evenly spaced stitches, crisp and centred printing, and a clear Dior signature. Vintage pieces may or may not retain their original care label—its absence is not unusual.
Q: Do Dior silk scarves have serial numbers or date codes? A: Unlike Dior handbags and small leather goods, silk scarves generally do not carry serial numbers or date codes. Authenticity is assessed via materials, print quality, finishing, and brand markings.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. A square silk scarf is a timeless unisex accessory; the 80 cm format suits a wide range of neck, head, and bag‑accent styles for all wearers.
