Drape the Hermès Les Sangles 140 scarf over a trench for a chic commute, wear it as a shawl at evening receptions, or wrap it for flights and weekend escapes—an effortless way to add warmth and a sophisticated splash of colour to any ensemble year‑round.
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 size and materials of this shawl? A: It is approximately 140 x 140 cm and crafted in a soft 70% cashmere and 30% silk blend with hand-rolled edges, as stated in the product information.
Q: Who designed Les Sangles and what does the motif depict? A: Les Sangles was designed by Joachim Metz. The motif celebrates Hermès’ equestrian heritage, depicting straps used to secure horse blankets, inspired by items in the Émile Hermès collection.
Q: How warm is the cashmere-silk 140 and when can I wear it? A: The cashmere-silk 140 is supple and lightweight yet cosy, great for year-round layering—especially spring and autumn. In very cold weather, layer it under a coat; on warm days it can feel too insulating, while in summer evenings it works as a light wrap.
Q: Does a cashmere-silk Hermès 140 shawl pill, and how can I minimise it? A: Light pilling is normal with fine cashmere fibres due to friction. Minimise by avoiding rough surfaces and heavy rubbing from shoulder straps, rotating wear, and gently removing pills with a cashmere comb or a delicate fabric shaver designed for knits.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Hermès advises against washing scarves; use a trusted professional dry cleaner who understands hand-rolled edges. Keep printed silk away from rain, allow any moisture to air dry naturally, and store the shawl folded and away from direct sunlight—its original box is ideal.
Q: Can I hand‑wash a Hermès cashmere‑silk shawl? A: Hand‑washing is not recommended by Hermès and is at the owner’s risk. Incorrect washing can distort the hand‑rolled hems or alter the texture, as community experiences show. For best results, follow the official guidance and use a specialist cleaner.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with the original Hermès box, as listed under product information. If an item is not listed there, it is not included—please ask us if you need confirmation.
Q: How does a 140 cashmere‑silk shawl compare to a 90 silk carré? A: The 140 is a larger 140 cm square in a soft cashmere‑silk blend for warmth and drape, while the classic 90 is 90 cm square in structured silk twill. Both have hand‑rolled edges; choose the 140 for cosy wrap styling and the 90 for a crisper silk look.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of fabric, print quality, stitching, hand‑rolled edges, brand stamps and other markers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
