An elegant choice for gallery openings or smart lunches, this vintage Hermès Carré 90 in brown silk, patterned with the multicoloured Washington’s Carriage motif, adds a refined finish when draped over the shoulders or knotted at the neck. In very good condition with hand-rolled edges, it brings a touch of Parisian polish to both tailored blazers and simple knits.
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 does “Carré 90” mean and what are the measurements? A: Carré 90 refers to Hermès’s classic square silk scarf that measures approximately 90 × 90 cm. Please see the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece (listed as 90 × 90 cm).
Q: What is the ‘Washington’s Carriage’ motif about? A: The design celebrates an historic ceremonial carriage associated with George Washington, depicted with ornate harness and coach details typical of Hermès equestrian-inspired artistry.
Q: Who designed ‘Washington’s Carriage’ and when was it first issued? A: The motif is by Caty Latham and was first issued in 1979, with later reissues in subsequent years.
Q: How can I style a Carré 90? A: It is very versatile: wear it around the neck (classic fold or bias), as a headscarf or hair tie, as a belt, wrapped on a bag handle, or styled with a scarf ring for neat knots.
Q: How should I care for this vintage silk scarf? A: Hermès advises dry clean only and to avoid rain or moisture as printing on silk can be affected. Keep away from perfumes, lotions and rough jewellery, and store it flat or loosely rolled away from direct sunlight.
Q: Can I hand-wash a Hermès silk scarf? A: We recommend following Hermès’s guidance of professional dry cleaning, especially for vintage pieces. Some collectors hand‑wash, but dyes on older scarves may not be fully colourfast, so this is at your own risk.
Q: How do I remove light creases safely? A: Lay the scarf under a clean pressing cloth and use a cool iron on the silk setting, avoiding direct pressure on the hand‑rolled edges. Alternatively, use gentle steam from a short distance.
Q: What authenticity details should I look for on a Carré 90? A: Genuine Hermès scarves have hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges that roll toward the front (the printed side), with thread matching the silk. Printing should be crisp with fine detail and an appropriate Hermès signature; care labels vary by era.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece is currently noted as having no additional items included—please review the product information for confirmation.
Q: Is this scarf suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes. Silk twill is durable for its weight; with gentle handling and proper care, a Carré 90 can be worn regularly and enjoyed for years.
