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 of a Hermès Carré 90 scarf? A: The classic Carré 90 measures approximately 90 × 90 cm (about 35.4 × 35.4 inches). Because the edges are hand‑rolled, a small variation of up to around a centimetre is normal from piece to piece.
Q: What is the Les Sangles design about and who created it? A: Les Sangles features a graphic arrangement of equestrian straps and buckles inspired by the house’s harness‑making heritage. The motif is attributed to Joachim Metz, a long‑time Hermès artist known for bold, modern compositions.
Q: What material is this scarf and where is it made? A: It is 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled and hand‑stitched edges, crafted in France. Silk twill offers a smooth yet gently crisp handle that drapes beautifully while showcasing the print’s detail.
Q: How versatile is a Carré 90 for styling? A: Extremely versatile. It can be worn as a neckerchief, headscarf, bandana, belt, bag handle wrap, or folded into tops and halters. The 90 size is considered the most classic canvas for Hermès prints and suits all seasons.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès silk scarf? A: The official guidance is dry clean only. Keep the scarf away from rain and humidity, as natural dyes—especially on older issues—may not be completely colourfast. Store it loosely folded or flat in a cool, dry place, and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and rough surfaces.
Q: Can I hand‑wash an Hermès scarf at home? A: Some experienced collectors carefully hand‑wash using cool water and a silk‑safe detergent, but there is always a risk of colour run or texture change. For valuable or vintage pieces, we recommend using a specialist cleaner familiar with luxury silks if cleaning is required.
Q: How can I spot key signs of authenticity on a scarf? A: Look for finely hand‑rolled hems that roll towards the front face of the print with closely matched thread, crisp screen‑printed artwork, and the artist’s signature within the motif. Care labels can vary by era, so absence or style of label is not conclusive. When in doubt, consult an expert—every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house specialists.
Q: What is included with this specific item? A: This listing is for the scarf only. No box or additional accessories are included unless stated otherwise in the Accessories section on this page.
Q: Will the colours bleed if the scarf gets wet? A: It’s possible, particularly with vintage scarves dyed using traditional methods. If the scarf becomes damp, blot gently with a clean, white cloth and allow it to air dry flat away from heat and light, then consult a professional silk specialist if any colour migration is noticed.
