Perfect for a spring wedding or a chic city brunch, this vintage Saint Laurent 90 silk scarf in cream with a black clover print and camel, black and white striped border lends refined polish. Its black rolled edges frame the square beautifully. In very good condition with light signs of use, it’s an elegant finishing touch.
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 dimensions and how can I wear it? A: This square scarf measures approximately 90 × 90 cm. It’s a versatile size for neck and bandana knots, head wraps, ponytails, bag handles, a belt sash, or even a simple bandeau/halter top when layered for coverage. For top styles, knot securely and avoid placing excessive tension on the rolled edges.
Q: What does “rolled edges” mean? A: The silk edges are finely rolled and stitched into a slim, rounded finish rather than pressed flat. This gives a refined look and helps the scarf drape beautifully. To preserve the shape, avoid pressing the edges flat when steaming or ironing and do not tug on the hem.
Q: How should I clean a vintage silk scarf? A: For best results, use a trusted specialist dry cleaner. If you choose to clean at home, hand‑wash very gently in cool water with a pH‑neutral detergent for delicates. Test a hidden corner for colourfastness first, avoid soaking if any dye lifts, never wring or twist, then blot in a clean towel and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
Q: How do I remove creases safely? A: Steaming is the gentlest method. Hang the scarf and steam from a short distance, letting the fibres relax. If ironing is needed, use the lowest silk setting on the reverse side with a clean cotton pressing cloth, and avoid pressing directly over the rolled edges.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer? A: Some vintage silks can release dye when wet. Always perform a colourfastness test on an inconspicuous area before washing. If dye transfers, discontinue home washing and opt for professional dry cleaning. Keep the scarf away from moisture and light‑coloured garments until fully dry.
Q: How should I store it? A: Store clean and completely dry. Fold loosely or roll with acid‑free tissue to minimise creasing, and keep in a cool, dry, dark place. Use breathable storage (drawers, fabric pouches) rather than plastic for long‑term storage, and avoid hanging by a point to prevent distortion.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. A 90 cm square silk scarf is a classic, gender‑inclusive accessory that can be styled in many ways by anyone.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is for the scarf only; no accessories are included unless explicitly stated. For this piece, the Accessories section notes no accessories.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The origin label indicates Italy.
Q: What does “Very Good. Light trace of use” mean here? A: Expect minor signs of gentle wear typical of a well‑kept vintage scarf, such as faint creasing or tiny pulls. Overall it remains in very good condition; please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is assessed by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of fabric, print quality, labels, and hem construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details or images on request.
