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 how can I wear it? A: This scarf measures approximately 80 × 80 cm. It works beautifully as a neckerchief, bandana-style head scarf, slim headband (folded on the bias), hair ribbon, or tied around a bag handle. For more ideas, see the styling images and refer to Measurements on this page.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter (also called Oblique) motif? A: It is Dior’s signature monogram created in the late 1960s by creative director Marc Bohan. The slanted repeat logo has become an enduring house code and is widely collected across vintage pieces.
Q: Is this scarf authentic and how do you verify it? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our specialists. Typical hallmarks of an authentic Dior silk scarf include a crisp, well-registered print and finely hand-rolled, hand-stitched edges. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional close-ups on request.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. Unless a box, tag or dust bag is specifically listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I clean and care for a vintage silk scarf? A: For best results, use a trusted specialist dry cleaner experienced with silk. If the label and a quick colourfastness test allow, you may gently hand wash in cool water with a silk-safe detergent, rinse well, press in a towel and dry flat away from sunlight. Do not wring, tumble dry or bleach.
Q: How do I remove creases and refresh the silk? A: Lightly steam at a safe distance, or press on the reverse using the lowest silk setting with a pressing cloth. Avoid prolonged or high heat and avoid pressing directly on the face side to preserve the sheen.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer onto other fabrics? A: Deep or saturated dyes in silk can bleed when wet, and dark garments (especially new denim) can transfer colour by rubbing. Keep the scarf dry, avoid friction with damp or freshly dyed fabrics, and always perform a quick colourfastness test on an inconspicuous area before any wash.
Q: How should I store it to keep it pristine? A: Ensure the scarf is clean and fully dry, then store it flat or gently rolled with acid‑free tissue in a breathable box or drawer. Keep away from plastic covers, direct sunlight and humidity to prevent creasing and fading.
Q: How can I prevent or deal with snags and pulls? A: Put the scarf on after jewellery and avoid rough hardware or zips. If a pull occurs, do not cut it; carefully ease the thread back from the reverse with a blunt needle or consult a professional re-weaver for an invisible repair.
