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 of this scarf and how does the 70 size wear? A: It measures approximately 70 × 70 cm (about 27.5 × 27.5 inches). The 70 size is a versatile square that works perfectly as a neckerchief, bandana-style headscarf, hair tie, wrist wrap, or tied around a bag handle. It is more compact than the classic 90, making it easy for everyday styling.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter/Oblique motif featured on this scarf? A: The all-over Dior monogram often referred to as Trotter or Oblique was conceived by Marc Bohan in 1967. It has become a house signature and is regularly reinterpreted across collections. This piece showcases the classic blue-and-white version of that motif.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included with the piece is listed under the product information section on this page. If a Dior box, dust bag or any extras are not mentioned there, they are not included.
Q: What is the condition of this scarf? A: It is in Very Good condition with light traces of use. Expect minor, unobtrusive signs consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for a close look at fabric, edges and print.
Q: Is a 70 cm silk scarf unisex? A: Yes. Silk squares are universally wearable. They can be knotted at the neck, styled as a headband, wrapped at the wrist, or used to personalise a bag—making them suitable for all wardrobes and occasions.
Q: How should I care for a vintage silk scarf? A: For best results, use a specialist dry cleaner experienced with luxury silk. If you prefer home care, first test for colourfastness. Hand-wash in cold water with a silk-safe detergent, avoid wringing or twisting, blot excess water in a towel, then dry flat away from direct sunlight. Store it loosely rolled or flat, and keep it away from perfumes and hair products to prevent marks.
Q: Can I remove creases or wrinkles from the silk safely? A: Yes. Steam gently from the reverse on a low setting, or hang the scarf in a steamy bathroom to relax creases. If you must iron, use the coolest silk setting with a pressing cloth and avoid pressing hard on the rolled edges.
Q: Do Dior silk scarves have serial numbers or date codes? A: Generally, silk scarves do not carry serial numbers or date codes like handbags. Authenticity is determined by details such as print precision, labels and the quality of the rolled hems rather than a code.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this scarf? A: Our in-house experts perform multi-point checks covering fabric quality, printing and colour accuracy, labels and markings, hems and stitching, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional observations on request.
