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 55 in the name mean? A: It indicates the size of the scarf, approximately 55 × 55 cm. This compact square works beautifully as a neckerchief, hair accessory, wrist wrap or bag handle accent. Refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter (Oblique) print? A: Trotter is the resale-world nickname for Dior’s Oblique monogram, conceived by Marc Bohan in 1967. It’s one of the house’s most recognisable motifs and appears here in a classic light blue and white colourway.
Q: How can I style a 55 cm square silk scarf? A: Fold on the bias and tie as a Parisian neckerchief; wear as a bandana or headband; wrap a ponytail or plait; knot around the wrist; or roll into a slim band to wrap a bag handle or bow on a top handle. For longer handle wraps or belts, a bandeau/twilly-style scarf gives extra length, but a 55 works well for shorter, decorative ties.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. A 55 cm silk carré is a timeless, gender-inclusive accessory that suits a wide range of personal styles, from classic tailoring to casual denim and tees.
Q: Do Dior silk scarves have serial numbers or date codes? A: No. Textiles like scarves do not carry the leather date codes used on Dior handbags and small leather goods. Expect a woven or printed brand label and a fabric/care tag (details can vary by era). Edges on many authentic vintage scarves are often hand‑rolled; please review the photos for edge finishing and labels on this piece.
Q: How should I care for a vintage silk scarf? A: We recommend professional dry cleaning with a silk specialist for periodic cleaning. Day to day, let it air after wear, avoid contact with lotions, perfume or hairspray, and keep it away from rough surfaces and jewellery that could snag the silk.
Q: Can I steam or iron it to remove creases? A: Yes—use gentle methods. Lightly steam from a short distance, allowing the fabric to relax without soaking it. If pressing is needed, place a clean cotton pressing cloth over the scarf and use the lowest heat on the reverse, lifting and pressing rather than dragging the iron. Avoid high heat and direct contact with the silk.
Q: How should I store it to preserve the colour and shape? A: Store clean and fully dry, folded loosely or rolled in acid‑free tissue in a cool, dry, dark place. Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colours, and don’t hang by a corner for long periods as this may distort the shape.
Q: What condition should I expect with this vintage piece? A: It is in very good condition with light traces of use, as noted in the Condition section. Minor signs such as faint creasing or tiny pulls typical of gentle wear may be present—please review all photos for a close look.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is listed as coming with no accessories. Everything included is always noted under Accessories; if you have any questions, just ask our team.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, print execution, labels, stitching and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
