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 measurements and how can a 50 × 50 cm silk scarf be styled? A: At 50 cm square, this petite size works beautifully as a neckerchief, hair tie, wrist wrap, or tied to a bag handle. It can also be folded into a compact pocket square for a blazer. If you prefer more coverage for head wraps or tops, consider larger squares, but this size is ideal for everyday neck and hair styling.
Q: Is this vintage Céline scarf authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of fabric, print quality, stitching, labels and stamps, and era‑correct branding. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: The logo sometimes appears with an accent (Céline) and sometimes without (Celine). Which is correct for a vintage scarf? A: Both can be correct depending on era. The house officially removed the accent from its logo in 2018 under Hedi Slimane; earlier pieces often read “Céline” with the accent. Vintage scarves may therefore show either, consistent with their production period.
Q: How should I clean a vintage silk scarf safely? A: For vintage silk, specialist dry cleaning is the safest option. If you choose to hand‑wash, first test for colourfastness, then use cool water and a silk‑safe detergent, keep the soak brief, rinse gently, never wring, and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach, stain removers and fabric softeners.
Q: Will the colours bleed if I wash it? A: Bright, saturated prints can release dye if soaked or agitated. Always test an inconspicuous corner first, wash separately in cool water with a silk‑specific detergent, avoid long soaks, and dry flat out of the sun to preserve colour.
Q: How do I remove creases without damaging silk? A: Steaming is safest. Hang the scarf and steam from a slight distance. If you must iron, use the lowest silk setting on the reverse side with a clean cotton pressing cloth and minimal pressure. Avoid direct high heat which can scorch or create shiny marks.
Q: What’s the best way to store a silk scarf? A: Ensure it is clean and completely dry, then store flat between sheets of acid‑free tissue or loosely roll it to minimise creasing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity; avoid hanging by a point which can distort the silk over time.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This piece is sold as photographed; there are no additional items listed for this scarf. If you need clarification, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: Is a 50 cm square suitable as a pocket square for tailoring? A: Yes. While traditional pocket squares are often 30–45 cm, a 50 cm silk can be folded down neatly for a fuller, more sculptural puff. Trim the bulk by folding into quarters and press lightly to achieve your preferred profile.
