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 does “90” mean for this Chanel silk scarf? A: It refers to the classic square size of approximately 90 × 90 cm, a versatile format that works as a neckerchief, headscarf, belt, or bag accent. Please see the Measurements on this page for the exact size.
Q: Is this scarf authentic and how do you verify it? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of fabric, print quality, labels and finishing. We source responsibly and stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Do Chanel silk scarves have serial numbers or authenticity cards? A: No—Chanel silk scarves do not carry serial numbers or date codes, and they are not sold with authenticity cards. Authentic pieces typically have a brand and care label, and many vintage examples feature hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched hems.
Q: Are hand‑rolled edges a sign of authenticity? A: Many authentic Chanel silk scarves have finely hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched hems and crisp, well‑registered prints. While this is a positive hallmark, edges alone don’t prove authenticity; our team evaluates multiple details together.
Q: How should I care for and store a vintage silk scarf? A: Keep silk away from direct perfume, hairspray and prolonged sunlight. After wear, allow it to air, then store loosely folded in a breathable dust bag or drawer, avoiding humidity and sharp jewellery that can snag the fibres.
Q: Can I wash a Chanel silk scarf at home? A: We recommend specialist dry cleaning for vintage silk to preserve colour and the rolled hem. If you choose to spot‑clean at home, test an inconspicuous area first, use cool water with a silk‑safe detergent, never wring, and dry flat—note that rich colours may bleed when wet.
Q: How do I remove creases safely? A: Use a handheld steamer on a low setting from a short distance, or iron on the reverse with a cool setting and a pressing cloth. Avoid pressing directly on the rolled edges to keep their rounded shape.
Q: How can I style a 90 cm square scarf? A: Popular options include a classic bias‑fold neckerchief, bandana knot, French square, headband or headscarf, belt through trouser loops, wrist wrap, or tied to a bag handle. Some wearers also fold it into a bandeau or halter top—tie gently to avoid stress on the silk.
Q: Is this scarf unisex and suitable year‑round? A: Yes. Pure silk is breathable and temperature‑adaptive, making a 90 cm square suitable for all genders and for styling in every season.
Q: What accessories are included with this piece? A: This item is sold as photographed and described under Accessories; for this listing, no accessories are included.
