Q: What are the dimensions of this scarf?
A: It measures approximately 90 × 90 cm, a classic square size that suits neck, hair and bag styling. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions.

Q: Is this scarf silk and how does it feel?

Q: How can I style a 90 cm square scarf?
A: Fold into a triangle and knot at the neck, roll into a band for a headband or ponytail wrap, tie around a handbag handle, wear as a slim belt, or style as a bandeau/halter on some body types. Coverage will vary by individual.

Q: Can I wash a silk scarf at home?
A: If needed, hand wash gently in cool water with a pH‑neutral detergent made for silk. Test for colourfastness on a hidden corner first, keep the soak brief, never wring, then roll in a towel and lay flat to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Alternatively, use a trusted professional cleaner experienced with silk.

Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer?
A: Bright, multi‑coloured prints can release excess dye, especially when wet. Wash separately, avoid long soaks, and keep away from rain and heavy perspiration. If a colour‑transfer test shows dye lift, choose professional cleaning.

Q: How do I remove wrinkles without damaging the silk?
A: Steam lightly from a short distance on the lowest setting, or iron on the reverse using the silk setting with a clean pressing cloth between the iron and fabric. Avoid high heat and prolonged pressure.

Q: Are the edges hand‑rolled?
A: Many vintage Yves Saint Laurent scarves feature hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched hems with a plump roll that turns slightly towards the print side, though this varies by era and design. Check the edge close‑ups in the photos for finishing details.
