Q: What are the size and fabric details of this Hermès 90 scarf? A: It is approximately 90 x 90 cm and crafted from 100% silk twill with hand-rolled, hand-stitched edges. This piece was made in France; please see the product information for the country-of-origin label.
Q: What is the Princes du Soleil Levant design about? A: Princes du Soleil Levant (often translated as Princes of the Rising Sun) is a celebrated Hermès motif first issued in 1990 and attributed to Françoise Faconnet. Typical colourways feature Japanese-inspired elements such as armour, swords and crests, rendered with intricate detailing characteristic of Hermès carré art.
Q: How versatile is a Carré 90 and how can I wear it? A: The 90 cm square is the house’s most iconic format and can be styled in many ways: folded and tied at the neck, as a headscarf or bandana, threaded through belt loops as a belt, draped as a small shawl, or knotted onto a bag handle. A scarf ring can add even more tying options.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès silk scarf? A: The safest approach is professional cleaning, following Hermès’ guidance. Day to day, avoid rain and moisture, keep away from direct sunlight to preserve colour, and store it loosely folded with acid‑free tissue in a cool, dry place. Do not hang by the hand‑rolled edges for long periods.
Q: Can I hand‑wash a Hermès silk scarf at home? A: Official care notes advise dry clean only. Some collectors do hand‑wash at their own discretion: if you choose to, test for colourfastness first, use cool water with a silk‑safe detergent, avoid wringing, blot gently and dry flat. Proceed carefully, especially with strong colours and older vintage scarves.
Q: What is the best way to remove light creases without harming the rolled edges? A: Place a thin cotton pressing cloth over the scarf and press from the reverse on the lowest silk setting, lifting the iron frequently. Avoid ironing directly over the rolled hems. If you use steam, keep it indirect and at a distance rather than touching the nozzle to the silk.
Q: How can I check key authenticity markers on Hermès scarves? A: Look for finely hand‑rolled edges that roll toward the front of the print with tidy, colour‑matched stitching; crisp, finely registered printing; the artist’s signature and design title within the artwork; and appropriate “Made in France” and care labels for the era. A Retro Tale thoroughly authenticates every piece before listing.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed clearly in the product information section. This piece is offered as shown; if a box, dust bag or other extras are not listed there, they are not included. Please contact us if you would like us to confirm what is included.
