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 does the 80 size wear? A: This square measures approximately 80 × 80 cm. It’s a versatile medium size that works as a neckerchief, headscarf, wrist wrap, belt, or tied to a bag handle. Fold diagonally into a triangle for classic neck ties, roll into a skinny band for a belt, or thread through bag handles for a quick update. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter (also called Oblique) motif? A: The Trotter/Oblique motif is Dior’s signature repeating logo pattern, originally conceived by Marc Bohan in 1967. It has been revisited across collections ever since and is one of the House’s most recognisable signatures.
Q: Is this piece vintage? A: Yes, this item is listed as vintage. Expect gentle signs of age and wear; this example is graded Very Good with light traces of use as noted in the Condition section.
Q: How can I style an 80 square scarf day to day? A: For everyday wear, try a simple triangle knot at the neck, a Parisian roll, a bandana-style head tie, or loop it around your ponytail. You can also thread it through belt loops or tie it to a bag handle for a subtle pop of colour.
Q: How can I tell a Dior silk scarf is authentic? A: Common hallmarks include a high-quality silk twill with a crisp, well-registered print, a finely hand-rolled hem with a softly rounded edge, and correct Dior signatures/typography. Many authentic examples have a fabric label noting 100% silk and Made in France or Italy, though labels can vary by era and may be missing on vintage pieces. When in doubt, our team is happy to provide close-up photos and guidance.
Q: How do you authenticate items at A Retro Tale? A: Every piece is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of fabric, print clarity, hems/stitching, labels, and brand markings, supported by reference materials and industry tools. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
Q: What is the safest way to clean a vintage silk scarf? A: For multi-coloured printed silk, the safest option is specialist dry cleaning. If the care label permits hand washing, first perform a colourfastness test on a hidden corner. Hand wash briefly in cool water with a silk-friendly detergent, do not wring, then roll in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Press on low heat with a pressing cloth if needed.
Q: How should I store it to keep the silk in great condition? A: Store clean and completely dry in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Lay flat or loosely roll with acid-free tissue to minimise creases. Avoid hanging by a single point and keep perfumes, hairspray, and oils away from the fabric.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. This piece is listed with no additional items; if something like a box or tag is not shown there, it is not included.
