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 size mean and how can I wear it? A: The scarf measures 80 × 80 cm (approximately 31.5 × 31.5 inches). This versatile square can be folded into a triangle and worn as a neckerchief, styled as a headscarf or bandana, tied at the ponytail or wrist, or used to adorn a bag handle or belt loop.
Q: Is the Trotter motif the same as Dior Oblique or Diorissimo? A: Yes. The house’s signature monogram was conceived by Marc Bohan in 1967 and is widely known today as Dior Oblique. The terms Trotter and Diorissimo are often used by collectors for earlier or vintage editions of the same diagonal monogram.
Q: Is this scarf authentic and how do you verify it? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, labels and print execution. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this specific piece, no additional items (such as box, tags or care booklet) are included unless explicitly stated.
Q: How should I care for vintage silk? A: For best results, use professional dry cleaning. Day to day, air the scarf after wear, avoid heavy fragrance or hair product contact, and keep it away from rain and prolonged direct sunlight. If lightly creased, steam gently or iron on a low silk setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse.
Q: Can I hand‑wash it at home? A: Only if the care label permits and a colour‑fastness test is passed. Use cool water and a silk‑friendly detergent, swish very gently, rinse thoroughly, then blot in a towel and dry flat away from heat. Never wring, tumble dry or scrub. If in doubt, choose dry cleaning to protect the vintage silk fibres and print.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer, especially if tied to a bag handle? A: Dyes on silk can transfer when damp or with friction. Avoid getting the scarf wet, do not wrap it tightly around hardware, and be cautious against very light leather and clothing. Allow perfumes and lotions to dry fully before wearing.
Q: How should I store it? A: Store flat or loosely rolled in a breathable pouch or drawer, ideally with acid‑free tissue. Keep it away from direct sunlight and sharp jewellery to minimise pulls. Avoid hanging by a point for long periods to prevent distortion.
Q: What does Very Good condition with light trace of use mean? A: Expect gentle signs consistent with careful wear, such as soft creasing or the odd tiny pull that does not affect wear. Please refer to the photos for the precise condition of this piece.
