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 size is this scarf and how does an 80 × 80 cm square wear? A: It is a classic 80 × 80 cm square. This size works perfectly as a neckerchief, headscarf, hair tie, bag handle wrap or slim belt. It gives a neat knot without excess bulk and sits comfortably at the neck when folded on the bias.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter (Oblique) print? A: The Trotter, also known as the Oblique monogram, is Dior’s iconic repeating logo motif first introduced by creative director Marc Bohan in 1967. It remains one of the house’s most recognisable signatures and is widely used across accessories and ready-to-wear.
Q: Are the edges on authentic Dior silk scarves hand-rolled? A: Many authentic Dior scarves feature hand-rolled, hand-stitched edges that roll slightly toward the front (design) side. Tiny, evenly spaced stitches and a plump roll are good signs of hand-finishing, though variations can occur by era and model.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of material, print clarity, stitching/hemming, logo signature, labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What does Very Good condition mean for a vintage silk scarf? A: It indicates light, normal signs of previous use such as gentle creasing or a tiny pull, with no major flaws. This piece is noted as Very Good with light trace of use; please review the photos for exact condition.
Q: Does this item come with a box or other accessories? A: This listing is for the scarf only; no accessories are included unless specifically stated under Accessories on this page.
Q: How should I care for a Dior silk scarf? A: Avoid rain, perfume and cosmetics contact. If cleaning is needed, professional dry cleaning is recommended. If you choose to hand-wash at your own discretion, test for colourfastness first, use cold water and a silk-friendly detergent, do not wring, blot in a towel and dry flat away from heat and sunlight. Press on the reverse with a cool iron through a pressing cloth. Store flat or gently rolled to prevent creasing.
Q: Will the burgundy colour bleed or transfer? A: Deep colours in silk can transfer when wet. Keep away from moisture, and if hand-washing, test an inconspicuous corner first and wash separately from light colours to avoid dye transfer.
Q: Can an 80 cm square be worn as a top? A: A full scarf-top look typically uses a larger 90 × 90 cm square. An 80 cm may work as a petite bandeau on some body types, but it is best suited as a neckerchief, headscarf, hair tie, belt or bag wrap.
Q: Any quick styling ideas for this size? A: Try a bias-fold neckerchief knot at the collarbone, the classic triangle drape with the point forward, a slim headband, or a handle/bow wrap on your favourite bag for a pop of colour.
