Q: What is this Chanel Cashmere Silk Scarf?
A: It is a vintage 90 x 90 cm square scarf crafted from a cashmere–silk blend in a red, blue and multicoloured palette with an intricate baroque-style motif and softly frayed edges. It is graded Very Good with a light trace of use and comes with its original box.
Q: How big is 90 x 90 cm in inches?
A: Approximately 35 x 35 inches (about 35.4 inches each side). This is the classic large square size, offering lots of styling versatility.
Q: What does the cashmere–silk blend feel like and is it suitable year‑round?
A: The blend combines cashmere’s soft warmth with silk’s light drape and sheen. It feels cosy without bulk in cooler months and remains breathable in milder weather, making it an all‑season option.
Q: Are the frayed edges a flaw?
A: No. The fringe is an intentional, eyelash‑style finish used on many cashmere/silk scarves and is part of the design. Minor variations along the edge are normal for this finish.
Q: How should I care for a cashmere–silk scarf?
A: We recommend professional dry cleaning. Keep away from rain, perfumes and hairspray, and avoid rough jewellery or abrasive surfaces that may snag fibres. Store flat or loosely rolled in a dry, dark place. If the label expressly allows hand‑washing, use cool water, a delicate detergent, handle very gently and dry flat.
Q: Will a cashmere blend pill and how do I manage it?
A: Some light pilling can occur with wear where the scarf rubs against clothing. Remove pills gently with a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver on the lowest setting, and minimise friction by avoiding coarse fabrics.
Q: Is it unisex?
A: Yes. A 90 cm square in a refined print works across wardrobes. Style it as a neckerchief, headscarf, belt, bag accent or shoulder wrap regardless of gender.
Q: How can I style a 90 cm square scarf?
A: Fold on the diagonal and knot at the neck; wear bandana‑style; tie as a headscarf or hair wrap; roll into a slim neck tie; loop through belt loops; or wrap around a handbag handle to add colour and protect the handle.
Q: Does it have a serial number or authenticity card?
A: Scarves do not have serial number stickers or authenticity cards like Chanel handbags. Authenticity is assessed by fabric quality, print definition, labels and finishing. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication.
Q: Where is this piece made and what’s included?
A: This specific scarf is made in Italy (as stated in the description) and is delivered with its original box. Please review the photos and Accessories section to confirm all inclusions and details of condition.
