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 70 refer to, and how big is this scarf? A: The 70 refers to the classic square format, which is generally around 70 x 70 cm. It is a versatile mid-size scarf that works well at the neck, in the hair, on the wrist, or tied to a bag handle.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter pattern? A: Trotter is the commonly used name for Dior’s repeating monogram motif, often also referred to as Dior Oblique. It became one of the house’s signature patterns in the late 1960s and is prized for its instantly recognisable vintage Dior look.
Q: How can I style a 70 cm silk scarf day to day? A: This size is ideal for everyday styling. You can fold it into a triangle and wear it as a neckerchief, knot it to one side for a polished Parisian look, tie it as a headband or ponytail ribbon, wrap it around the wrist, or use it to decorate a handbag handle.
Q: Is this scarf silk, and what does it feel like? A: Yes, this piece is silk. You can expect a smooth, lightweight feel with a soft drape and subtle sheen, making it easy to wear throughout the year.
Q: What do hand-rolled edges mean? A: Hand-rolled edges are a refined finishing detail where the edge is rolled and stitched by hand rather than flat machine-folded. They are often seen on quality silk scarves and help give the piece a neat finish and elegant drape.
Q: Where was this scarf made? A: The country-of-origin label for this piece states Italy.
Q: How should I clean and store a vintage silk scarf? A: The safest option is specialist dry cleaning. If you decide to hand wash, use cool water and a detergent made for silk, test a hidden corner first for colourfastness, never wring the fabric, and dry it flat away from direct sunlight or heat. For storage, keep it flat or loosely rolled in a breathable place and avoid rough jewellery, perfume, and hairspray near the silk.
Q: How is authenticity assessed on a vintage Dior scarf like this? A: Authentic vintage Dior scarves are typically checked for details such as quality silk, crisp print registration, clean finishing, a clear signature, and properly executed rolled hems. Every item at A Retro Tale is also reviewed by in-house experts before it is listed for sale.
Q: Does this scarf come with any additional items, and what is the condition? A: No additional items are included with this scarf. According to the product information, it is in Very Good condition with light traces of use, which is consistent with a carefully kept vintage silk piece.
