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: Is this Hermès Perfume Bottles Pin Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid gold? A: Hermès costume jewellery brooches are typically crafted from plated base metal in a gold‑tone finish. This piece features gold‑tone hardware with three dangling perfume bottle charms. It is not solid gold unless explicitly stated. Please review the photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm the specific composition.
Q: What does the “Les Flacons” (perfume bottles) motif signify? A: The motif celebrates Hermès’ fragrance heritage and often appears across vintage accessories and scarf designs. This brooch showcases three stylised bottle charms on a safety‑pin form—an elegant nod to the house’s iconic perfumes.
Q: What are the dimensions and will it feel heavy or pull on fabric? A: Approx. 4.8 cm (H) x 7.5 cm (W) x 1 cm (D). Weight varies by piece; if you’d like the gram weight for comfort reference, just ask and we’ll measure it. For delicate fabrics, consider pinning through a thicker seam or using a small backing disc to distribute weight and reduce pull.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It uses a classic pin with a secure catch/closure. Please refer to the close‑up photos to see the exact mechanism. When wearing, insert at a slight angle and ensure the catch is fully engaged for best security.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Hermès brooch? A: Many Hermès brooches are stamped HERMÈS (often with “Made in France” or “Hermès Paris”). Placement and format can vary by era. Our listing photos show any stamps or signatures present on this piece.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Is it nickel‑free? A: Vintage and fashion jewellery may contain nickel. If you have sensitivities, consider wearing it over clothing, using a clear barrier product on contact points, or limiting wear time. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: How should I care for a gold‑tone plated Hermès brooch? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately to avoid scratches. Do not soak, use ultrasonic cleaners or chemical dips. Light use of a non‑abrasive jewellery cloth on metal areas only is fine.
Q: Can it be repaired, replated or have a charm reattached? A: Competent jewellers can service the pin mechanism, reattach dangling charms and perform gentle replating. Note that replating or alterations may affect originality and resale value. Hermès’ service for vintage costume jewellery is at their discretion and varies by boutique; we don’t modify items in‑house but can recommend reputable specialists on request.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This piece is in Very Good Condition with light vintage wear such as minor micro‑scratches or gentle patina unless stated otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included (this item comes with no accessories). Returns are accepted in line with our policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions.
