* 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 is the Dior Trotter print on this scarf? A: The Trotter motif, also widely known as the Dior Oblique pattern, was conceived by Marc Bohan in 1967 and has since become a lasting house signature. This piece features the classic all‑over monogram in red and white.
Q: Is this piece vintage and what is its condition? A: Yes, it is a vintage Christian Dior scarf. It is graded Very Good with light traces of use consistent with age. Please review the photos for close‑ups of any minor signs of wear.
Q: What are the measurements and how does it wear? A: Approx. 75 × 75 cm. This versatile square works as a neckerchief, headscarf, bag‑handle wrap, wrist tie or pocket square, and suits a variety of styling preferences.
Q: What is it made from and how does it feel? A: 100% cotton. Cotton offers a soft, breathable feel with a touch of structure, making it comfortable for year‑round wear.
Q: How should I clean a vintage cotton scarf? A: If cleaning is needed, use a cautious approach: hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent, avoid long soaks, rinse well, then roll in a towel to remove excess water and dry flat away from heat or direct sunlight. Iron on the reverse on a low/cotton setting if required. When in doubt, consult a professional cleaner experienced with delicate accessories.
Q: Will the red print bleed or transfer colour? A: Quality dyes are usually stable when laundered correctly, but bright reds can sometimes release excess dye. Test for colourfastness on a hidden corner first, avoid prolonged soaking, and wash separately in cool water the first few times. Keep the scarf away from damp light‑coloured leathers or denim to prevent transfer.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. A 75 cm square is a classic, unisex format that can be styled in countless ways.
Q: Are any accessories included? A: No accessories are included with this item. Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the Accessories section of this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously assessed by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, labels and prints. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can provide additional details on request.
