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 head size is this Dior beret likely to fit? A: Size 58 generally suits a head circumference of around 58 cm. For the best fit, measure around your head where the beret will sit, just above the eyebrows and ears, and compare it with the stated size.
Q: How should a beret fit when worn? A: A beret should feel secure but not tight. It should sit comfortably without pinching, and you can wear it centred or slightly tilted depending on your preferred look. A wool beret may ease slightly with wear, so a snug but comfortable fit is usually best.
Q: What materials and details does this beret feature? A: This vintage Christian Dior beret features black and white houndstooth wool, a black silk ribbon bow, an embroidered Christian Dior logo and a silk lining. Together, these details give it a soft yet polished finish.
Q: Is this a vintage Dior piece, and where was it made? A: Yes, this item is listed as vintage. The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: What condition is the beret in? A: The beret is in very good vintage condition with light traces of use noted to both the exterior and interior. As with most vintage pieces, gentle signs of age are part of its character.
Q: What is included with this beret? A: This item comes with a box. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information for this listing.
Q: How should I care for a vintage wool and silk beret? A: We recommend gentle handling. Avoid machine washing and heavy soaking. For light surface dust, use a soft clothes brush or lint roller carefully, and for deeper cleaning choose a specialist cleaner experienced with delicate wool and silk. Store it flat or lightly supported in its box, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
Q: Is the silk lining useful in everyday wear? A: Yes. A silk lining usually feels smoother against the hair and scalp than unlined wool, while also giving the beret a more refined interior finish.
Q: How is a vintage Dior hat typically authenticated? A: A Retro Tale authenticates each item before sale. With vintage Dior headwear, authenticity is usually assessed through a combination of label details, materials, embroidery, construction quality and overall finishing rather than one feature alone.
