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 “48” refer to? A: For Christian Dior handkerchiefs of this type, 48 usually refers to an approximately 48 x 48 cm square format. As this is a vintage piece, very slight variation can occur over time depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is this handkerchief made from? A: This piece is made from cotton and features a yellow floral print. Cotton gives it a light, breathable feel and makes it easy to fold or tie in different ways.
Q: How can I style a vintage cotton handkerchief like this? A: It can be worn as a pocket square, tied neatly at the neck, wrapped around a handbag handle, or styled in the hair for a relaxed vintage look. Its compact square shape makes it especially versatile for everyday styling.
Q: Can it be used as a pocket square? A: Yes. A cotton handkerchief can work very well as a pocket square, especially if you prefer a softer, more casual finish than silk. Many people keep one piece for styling and a separate one for practical use.
Q: What condition is it in? A: The product information lists this item as being in Very Good Condition with light traces of use. As a vintage item, gentle signs of age and wear are normal and part of its character.
Q: Does this item come with anything extra? A: No additional items are listed with this piece. According to the product information, it comes with no extras.
Q: How should I care for a vintage cotton handkerchief? A: Gentle care is recommended. Hand wash, or use a delicate cool wash with mild detergent, then air dry flat. Avoid bleach, harsh stain treatments and high heat, as these can weaken older fibres or affect the print.
Q: Is this handkerchief authentic? A: Yes. A Retro Tale states that its items are checked by in-house experts using detailed authenticity controls, and the company stands behind the authenticity of the vintage pieces it sells.
