Perfect for weddings, races and afternoon teas, this vintage Gucci light blue silk scarf, detailed with a rope-and-tassel motif and the Sine Amore Nihil motto, brings refined colour to dresses and tailoring from day to evening.
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 “90” refer to and how big is this scarf? A: It refers to the classic carré size of approximately 90 × 90 cm (about 35.4 × 35.4 inches). As this scarf has hand-rolled edges, very slight variations can occur from piece to piece.
Q: How can I wear a 90 cm silk square? A: It’s wonderfully versatile: try a neckerchief, bandana, classic bias fold around the neck, a headscarf, a belt through trouser loops, or tied to a bag handle. You can also style it as a chic top for holidays or evenings by folding into a triangle and securing at the back (use a strapless or adhesive bra for support as needed).
Q: What do “hand-rolled edges” mean? A: The edges are delicately rolled and stitched by hand, creating a softly rounded border that frames the print. This artisanal finish is a hallmark of quality on luxury scarves and can lead to tiny size differences—completely normal and desirable to scarf collectors.
Q: How should I clean a vintage Gucci silk scarf? A: Gucci advises dry clean only for its silk scarves. For valuable vintage pieces, we recommend a trusted specialist cleaner. If you choose to hand-wash at home, proceed at your own discretion: test for colour fastness first, use cool water and a pH‑neutral silk detergent, avoid wringing or twisting, then blot in a towel and dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: What’s the best way to remove creases after shipping or storage? A: Steam is gentler on silk fibres than direct heat. Use a handheld steamer at a slight distance, or press on the lowest silk setting with a clean pressing cloth on the reverse. Avoid pressing the hand-rolled edges flat to preserve their rounded profile.
Q: How should I store this scarf to keep it beautiful? A: Ensure it’s clean and fully dry, then either store flat in a breathable box with acid‑free tissue between folds, or roll it loosely and file it upright. Keep it in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, moisture and perfumes that may mark or fade silk over time.
Q: Can a 90 cm square be worn as a top? A: Yes. A 90 × 90 cm scarf is the sweet spot for bandeau and halter styles. Fold to a triangle and tie behind the back or neck, or explore asymmetrical wraps. Always check the knot security and consider fashion tape for confidence.
Q: The scarf reads “Sine Amore Nihil”. What does that mean? A: It is a Latin motto commonly translated as “Nothing without love.”
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Gucci scarves? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality, print clarity and registration, stitching and hem finish, labels/markings and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, as listed in the Accessories section. If something isn’t listed (e.g., dust bag), it is not included—contact us if you’d like us to confirm what’s in the set.
