Q: What is the Christian Dior Oblique Silk Scarf? A: It’s a luxury silk scarf featuring Dior’s iconic Oblique motif. Most Dior scarves are crafted in pure silk with hand‑rolled hems and high‑quality printing. Specific details (size, colourway, hem finish, labels) vary by collection and year—please refer to our photos and description for the exact characteristics of this piece.
Q: What are the typical dimensions and how can I confirm the size of this scarf? A: Classic Dior square scarves are often around 90 x 90 cm, with some smaller squares near 70 x 70 cm. Dior also makes long, narrow “Mitzah/Twilly” styles (approximately 6 x 105 cm) and larger formats. For accuracy, please see the Measurements section of this listing for this exact item.
Q: Is it unisex and how can I style it? A: Yes—silk scarves are widely worn by all genders. Style it around the neck (classic knot or triangle drape), as a headband or headscarf, tied to a handbag handle, wrapped at the wrist, or as a sleek belt. For a polished look, fold the scarf into a long band before knotting; for a relaxed drape, fold corner‑to‑corner and tie loosely at the front.
Q: What is special about the Oblique motif? A: The Oblique pattern is a signature Dior design introduced in the late 1960s and reinterpreted across many collections. It’s prized for its graphic, recognisable repeat and pairs effortlessly with both minimalist and statement outfits.
Q: How should I care for and store a silk scarf? A: Keep silk away from rain, oils, perfume and prolonged sunlight. We recommend professional dry cleaning for best results. Store flat or loosely rolled in a dust bag or box, and avoid heavy folds on the hand‑rolled edges. Do not hang by a corner for long periods, as this can distort the shape.
Q: Can I hand‑wash or iron it at home? A: Dior typically advises professional cleaning. If you choose to care at home, use a specialist silk detergent in cool water, do not wring, and dry flat away from heat and direct sun. Iron on the lowest silk setting from the reverse with a pressing cloth, and never press the hand‑rolled hems (steam gently around them instead). Home care is at your own risk and may affect resale value.
Q: Will the colours fade or transfer, and how do I avoid snags? A: Silk dyes can transfer if exposed to moisture or friction. Keep the scarf dry and avoid dark, abrasive surfaces. Prevent snags by minimising contact with rough textures or sharp jewellery and by removing the scarf before handling Velcro or zips.
Q: Does it have a serial number or date code? A: Scarves typically do not have serial numbers. Expect a “Christian Dior” brand stamp and a care/composition tag indicating materials and country of origin. A Retro Tale authenticates every item via rigorous multi‑point checks—labels alone are not the sole indicator of authenticity.
Q: Where is it made? A: Dior scarves are commonly produced in Italy or France. The exact country of origin is usually shown on the care label; please check our photos and details for this specific piece.
Q: Does this pre‑owned scarf come with its original box or dust bag? A: Inclusions vary for vintage and second‑hand items. Please refer to the Accessories section and listing photos for exactly what’s included. If an accessory isn’t shown or mentioned, it is not included.
