Perfect for a spring lunch, theatre evening or weekend brunch, this vintage Hermès Carré 45 silk scarf elevates any look. Its multicoloured geometric print and hand‑rolled edges lend refined polish—tie at the neck, wrap at the wrist or style in the hair—for timeless Hermès flair from day to night.
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 measurements of the Hermès Carré 45? A: The Carré 45 is approximately 45 × 45 cm. Because the edges are hand-rolled and stitched by hand, the finished size can vary slightly; Hermès lists some Gavroche 45 designs around 42 × 43 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this specific piece (listed as 45 × 45 cm).
Q: How can I wear a Carré 45? A: It is a versatile square you can tie at the neck, wrap on the wrist, wear as a hair ribbon or headband, knot onto a bag handle as a bow, or fold as a pocket square in a blazer. For inspiration, explore classic Hermès knotting ideas and variations.
Q: Is the Carré 45 the same as a Twilly? A: No. A Twilly is a narrow ribbon-style scarf (about 5 × 86.5 cm), ideal for wrapping handles or wearing as a slim tie. The Carré 45 is a square that works well for neck knots, hair styling, wrist wraps, or as a pocket square.
Q: Can I use it as a pocket square in a suit jacket? A: Yes. The 45 cm format fits most breast pockets. Fold to taste (flat, puff, or point) and adjust the depth so it sits neatly.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Hermès advises avoiding washing and entrusting silk scarves to a professional dry cleaner, with special care for the hand-rolled edges. Keep silk away from rain, water and cosmetics/perfume, which can affect the print. Between cleans, air it after wear and store it flat and untied in a breathable pouch or drawer.
Q: How do I remove creases safely? A: Allow light wrinkles to relax by hanging in a steamy bathroom. If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse with a pressing cloth, working from the centre out and never pressing the hand-rolled edges. A garment steamer held at a distance can also help—avoid direct, prolonged heat.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. Typical Hermès hallmarks include hand-rolled, hand-stitched hems that roll toward the front (design side), colour-matched stitching, crisp silk twill printing, the artist’s signature and the correct brand markings/care label. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this listing, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated there.
Q: Is the Carré 45 unisex? A: Yes. The 45 cm square is a classic size worn by all genders—as a neckerchief, bandana or pocket square—making it a versatile wardrobe staple.
Q: Where is it made? A: The country of origin is shown in the product information. This piece is labelled France.
