Q: What is the Hermès Carré 90 “Grande Tenue” Silk Scarf? A: It is a vintage Hermès square scarf in 100% silk twill, measuring approximately 90 x 90 cm. This piece features the multicoloured “Grande Tenue” motif in yellow, cream and dark blue, hand‑rolled edges, and a Made in France label.
Q: What are the exact measurements and can the size vary? A: The scarf is listed at 90 x 90 cm. Due to hand‑rolled hems and vintage production, a slight variance (often around ±1–2 cm) is normal. Please refer to the Measurements and photos for this specific piece.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: It is graded Very Good with a light trace of use. Please review the photos and condition notes to understand the precise state of the scarf before purchasing.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: This item is delivered with no accessories. If a box or extras are not specifically mentioned or shown, they are not included.
Q: Is the Carré 90 unisex? A: Yes. Hermès silk squares are widely worn by all genders. The 90 cm format is versatile for neckwear, headwear, and as an accent on bags or tailoring.
Q: How can I style a 90 cm scarf? A: Fold on the diagonal and knot at the neck, wear as a headscarf or bandana, tie around a handbag handle, wrap as a belt or waist sash, or fold into a halter top. It can also be framed as wall art.
Q: How should I care for and store silk twill? A: Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Keep silk away from water, rain, perfumes and hairspray. After wear, allow it to air briefly, then store flat or gently rolled in a cool, dark place. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve colour vibrancy and do not leave it tightly knotted for long periods.
Q: Can I iron out creases? A: If pressing is needed, place a clean pressing cloth over the scarf and use a cool iron on the reverse. Avoid pressing directly on the hand‑rolled edges to maintain their shape. For best results, ask a professional cleaner to press it.
Q: Do Hermès scarves have serial numbers or date codes? A: No—Hermès silk scarves typically do not have serial numbers or date codes. Authenticity is assessed by the quality of the silk, crispness of the print, hand‑rolled hems, and appropriate brand and care labels. Every item at A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated and sold with our authenticity guarantee.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer? A: Printed silk can be sensitive to moisture and friction. Avoid getting the scarf wet and be cautious with light‑coloured garments, especially if the scarf becomes damp. Do not rub the print; gently blot any accidental moisture and allow it to air‑dry away from heat.
Q: What should I do if I notice a small pull or snag? A: Do not cut the thread. Lay the scarf flat and coax the pulled thread back from the reverse side to relax it. For noticeable snags, consult a professional cleaner or textile specialist to minimise the risk of damage.
