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 dimensions and material of this Hermès Carré 90? A: The Carré 90 is approximately 90 × 90 cm and crafted from silk twill (100% silk) with hand-rolled edges. Because the edges are hand-rolled, small variations in size are normal.
Q: What is the Arabesques motif on this scarf? A: Arabesques is a classic Hermès design by Henri d’Origny, characterised by intricate scrollwork and botanical detailing. This vintage example is in navy with a multicoloured print and hand-rolled black edges.
Q: How versatile is the Carré 90 and how can I wear it? A: It is designed to be styled many ways: around the neck, as a headscarf, at the waist, on a bag handle, or folded into a top. The square format offers endless knotting options for different looks.
Q: How can I tell an authentic Hermès scarf? A: Key signs include hand-rolled hems that roll towards the front (print side) with perfectly matching thread, crisp silkscreened artwork, and an Hermès–Paris marking with the correct accent. Care tags and stamps vary by era. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in-house experts.
Q: Can I wash a Hermès silk scarf at home? A: Hermès advises professional dry cleaning. Some experienced collectors hand-wash gently in cool water with silk-safe detergent, but there is always some risk. If you do wash at home, avoid soaking, wringing and heat; lay flat to dry and never press the rolled edges. For peace of mind, use a specialist cleaner familiar with hand-rolled hems.
Q: How should I store and care for it day to day? A: Store flat or loosely folded in a breathable bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid contact with perfume, lotions and make-up, and take care around jewellery to prevent snags. Try not to wear it in heavy rain or allow it to get wet.
Q: Why do the edges look slightly plump or uneven? A: Each Carré is finished by hand, so the rounded, forward-rolling hems and minor variations in edge width or overall size are normal and part of Hermès craftsmanship.
Q: Will this item come with a box or accessories? A: This listing notes no accessories. Everything included is shown under the Accessories section; if something isn’t listed, it is not included. We are happy to confirm specifics on request.
Q: What is the safest way to remove creases? A: Lightly steam from the reverse side, keeping clear of the rolled hems. If using an iron, choose a low temperature, place a pressing cloth between the iron and the silk, and never press directly on the hems.
