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 Carré 90? A: The classic Hermès Carré 90 measures approximately 90 × 90 cm. Because the edges are hand-rolled, a variation of around 1–2 cm is normal. This particular scarf is listed at 90 × 90 cm.
Q: Who designed Les Sangles and what does the motif represent? A: Les Sangles was created by Joachim Metz and first issued in the mid-1980s. The design arranges equestrian straps, buckles and harness elements into a graphic pattern that Hermès has reissued in different sizes and materials over the years.
Q: What does “hand-rolled edges” mean on a Hermès scarf? A: The hem is rolled and stitched by hand so that it curls towards the front (the more vibrant printed side) using thread that matches the edge colour. Slight waviness and tiny variations in width are signs of authentic hand-finishing.
Q: How can I quickly check authenticity on a Hermès scarf? A: Look for hand-rolled hems stitched to the front, crisp and well-registered printing, the “Hermès-Paris” inscription within the artwork, and an artist’s signature. Care labels vary by era on vintage pieces. At A Retro Tale, every item is thoroughly authenticated by our experts before listing.
Q: What fabric is this scarf and how does it feel? A: It is 100% silk twill, known for its fine diagonal weave, soft handle and subtle sheen. Silk twill drapes beautifully yet holds structure, making the Carré 90 especially versatile for many ways of tying.
Q: How should I clean and care for a vintage Hermès silk scarf? A: The safest option is professional dry cleaning with a trusted specialist. Avoid rain or contact with water and perfume, as some vintage dyes can run. Store flat in a breathable dust bag, avoid hanging by the hem, and never pin through the edges. If pressing is needed, use a low silk setting and a pressing cloth on the reverse.
Q: Is the Carré 90 unisex and how can I wear it? A: Yes, the 90 cm square is unisex. It can be styled as a neckerchief, bandana, headscarf, belt, bag-handle wrap, or folded into a simple halter top. Its size offers enough fabric for creative knots while remaining easy to manage.
Q: Why might the colours or size vary slightly from one piece to another? A: Due to hand-rolled edges and individual finishing, two Carré 90s may differ slightly in dimensions, and the silk’s natural sheen can make colours appear different under various lighting conditions. Vintage pieces may also show minimal, even relaxation of the silk over time.
Q: Are any accessories included with this item? A: This listing is sold without accessories. Everything included is always stated under Accessories on the product page; if a box or ribbon is not listed, it is not included.
