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 the “80” in the name mean? A: It refers to an approximate 80 x 80 cm square size. Minor variations (around 1 cm) can occur on vintage scarves due to hand-finishing. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter (Oblique) print? A: The Trotter, also known as the Dior Oblique monogram, was created by Marc Bohan in 1967 and has become one of the house’s most recognisable motifs. This piece features the classic black and white Trotter pattern with a solid black border.
Q: Is this scarf silk and how should I care for it? A: Yes, it is crafted from silk. For best results, use a specialist dry cleaner for silks. If you choose to hand-wash, first test for colourfastness, use cool water with a silk-safe detergent, avoid wringing or twisting, rinse gently, and dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Can I steam or iron it to remove creases? A: Yes. Steam lightly from a short distance, or press on the reverse with a cool iron using a pressing cloth. Avoid pressing directly on rolled edges to preserve their shape.
Q: Do vintage Dior scarves have hand-rolled edges? A: Many vintage Dior silk scarves were finished with hand-rolled, hand-stitched hems. Slight irregularities along the edge can indicate hand-finishing. Please check our photos for the edge detail on this piece.
Q: How can I wear an 80 cm square scarf? A: This versatile size works as a neckerchief, bandana, headscarf, wrist or bag accent, or folded as a slim tie. It also suits ponytail wraps and hair bands.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. For this item, the product information indicates no additional items are included.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Yes. Square silk scarves are a timeless unisex piece and complement a wide range of personal styles.
Q: What does Very Good condition mean here? A: Our Very Good grading indicates light signs of wear consistent with gentle use. Please review the photos for an up-close view of any minor imperfections.
Q: How do you authenticate Dior scarves? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is evaluated by our in-house experts via multi-point checks of fabric, stitching, labels, and print quality. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or details on request.
