Perfect for garden parties, gallery openings and chic city brunches, this vintage Hermès Carré 140 in navy and pink silk adds a refined splash of colour. The Equateur motif shines whether knotted at the neck, worn as a headscarf or draped over the shoulders—an elegant touch for weddings and smart travel alike.
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 Hermès Carré 140? A: It is a giant silk twill scarf measuring approximately 140 x 140 cm with hand-rolled edges. As the edges are rolled by hand, slight variations in the exact dimensions are normal.
Q: What does the Equateur motif depict and who designed it? A: Equateur is by Robert Dallet, a naturalist illustrator and long-time Hermès collaborator. The design celebrates equatorial wildlife, featuring big cats, playful monkeys and colourful tropical birds beneath lush canopy foliage.
Q: How can I style a Carré 140? A: The 140 format is very versatile. Wear it as a shawl or wrap over the shoulders, a headscarf, a belt, a sarong over swimwear, or as a chic top. It also looks elegant loosely draped or knotted for evening wear.
Q: How should I care for this silk scarf? A: Preserve the beauty of the silk by avoiding rain, water, perfume and other chemicals. Store it flat and untied, and when cleaning is needed, entrust it to a professional dry cleaner familiar with hand-rolled hems.
Q: Can I hand-wash a Hermès silk scarf at home? A: Some collectors do hand-wash selected scarves, but Hermès advises against washing. To minimise risk to colour and finish, the safest option is a trusted specialist dry cleaner.
Q: Are slight irregularities in the hem or shape a defect? A: No. Hermès hems are hand-rolled and hand-stitched, so tiny stitch variations and small differences in size from piece to piece are part of the craftsmanship.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. Hermès scarves are designed for anyone to wear, and the generous 140 size works beautifully as a wrap or statement piece for all.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. If a box or other extras are not specified there, they are not included.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: It is in Very Good condition with light trace of use, as noted in the product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this scarf? A: Every item is rigorously examined by our specialists using multi-point checks of silk quality, print precision, stamps/labels and the hand-rolled hems. We guarantee authenticity and can provide further details on request.
