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 this tie and how does it compare to modern Hermès ties? A: This vintage piece measures approximately 136 cm in length and 8 cm in width. Contemporary Hermès ties are commonly listed around 146 cm (57.5 in) in length and about 7–8 cm in width, but vintage pieces can vary slightly. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the precise size of this item.
Q: Is an Hermès silk tie handmade, and where is it produced? A: Yes. Hermès ties are hand‑sewn from 100% silk and produced in France, with expert tie‑making rooted in the Lyon region since 1949.
Q: How should I care for this silk tie? A: Avoid contact with rain, water and chemicals. Store it flat and untied after wear, and use a professional dry cleaner for cleaning when needed. This helps preserve the fabric’s handle and the tie’s structure over time.
Q: Can I remove light creases or travel wrinkles at home? A: Hang the tie to let creases relax naturally, or use gentle steam at a distance without pressing the silk directly. Do not machine wash or tumble dry; for persistent creases, entrust the tie to a specialist cleaner.
Q: What authenticity details are typical for Hermès ties? A: Hallmarks often include a “Hermès‑Paris” keeper label, a “Made in France” tag, meticulous hand‑sewing, crisp and well‑aligned prints or jacquard motifs, and on many designs a small internal design code printed on the reverse of the wide blade. Specific details can vary by era and design.
Q: Which tie knot works best with Hermès silk? A: A four‑in‑hand knot is a versatile choice that suits the supple hand of Hermès silk and produces a neat dimple. If you prefer a fuller, more symmetrical look, a half‑Windsor also pairs well—choose the knot that best matches your collar spread and the tie’s width.
Q: Is the burgundy geometric pattern appropriate for business and events? A: Absolutely. Burgundy with a refined geometric motif is a timeless choice that complements navy or grey tailoring and white or light‑blue shirts, making it suitable for business, dinners, and formal occasions.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This tie includes a box, as listed under Accessories. If an item such as a dust bag or additional packaging is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this tie? A: Every item we sell undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining materials, labels, stitching, and print quality. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces and can share additional photos or details on request.
