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 measurements and how can I wear a 90 scarf day to day? A: This square scarf measures approximately 90 × 90 cm, a versatile size for everyday wear. Fold it into a triangle and drape around the neck, roll it into a slim band for a neckerchief, style it as a headscarf or hair tie, thread it through belt loops, or knot it onto a handbag handle to add colour and texture.
Q: Is it real silk and what does it feel like? A: Yes, it is made of silk. Expect a smooth, lightweight handle with a soft sheen that drapes beautifully. The orange, brown and white geometric print adds a graphic pop that works with both casual and tailored looks.
Q: How should I clean a vintage silk scarf? A: For most silk scarves, gentle hand washing in cool water with a silk-safe detergent is suitable after a colourfastness test. Rinse well, press excess water out in a towel (do not wring), then lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. If you prefer, use a specialist dry cleaner experienced with luxury silk and vintage items.
Q: Can I iron silk, or should I steam it? A: Steaming is the safest way to remove creases. If you choose to iron, use the lowest silk setting on the reverse side with a clean cotton pressing cloth, avoiding direct contact and high heat. Always test on a small area first.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer? A: Bright dyes on silk may transfer when wet. Always perform a colourfastness test before any wash, avoid soaking, keep the scarf away from rain and moisture, and let perfumes, lotions and hair products dry fully before wearing.
Q: How can I style a 90 cm square beyond the neck? A: Try a chic bandana fold, a French knot, a shoulder cover-up, a headband, or wear it as a belt. You can also wrap it around a tote handle or use a scarf ring for polished knots. The 90 size gives enough fabric for creative tying while remaining lightweight.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece, and what are typical signs of an authentic YSL scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. Typical hallmarks on vintage YSL scarves include crisp, well-registered printing, neatly finished edges (often hand-rolled/hand-stitched on many designs), a correctly rendered Yves Saint Laurent signature or logo within the print, and quality silk. The presence of the Yves Saint Laurent signature is characteristic of pre-2012 branding; please review our photos for labels and edge finishing on this exact piece.
Q: Does this item come with a box or dust bag? A: Accessories are listed on the page. This item is sold with no accessories, so a branded box or dust bag is not included unless stated otherwise.
Q: Is a silk scarf like this unisex? A: Absolutely. A classic 90 cm silk square is a gender‑inclusive accessory that complements wardrobes across styles and seasons.
Q: What condition should I expect on this vintage scarf? A: It is graded Very Good with light traces of use. Expect gentle, age-appropriate signs such as minor creasing or the odd soft pull, but no major flaws. Please refer to the detailed photos and condition notes for the most accurate view.
