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 a Carré 90? A: Approximately 90 x 90 cm (around 35 x 35 inches). This size offers versatile styling for the neck, hair, or even as a chic top or bag accent—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Who designed Poste et Cavalerie and when was it first issued? A: The design is by Joachim Metz and was first issued in the mid‑1980s (commonly cited as 1986). It depicts ornate sabretaches carried by cavalry officers, drawing on historic military regalia for inspiration.
Q: Is this scarf 100% silk with hand‑rolled edges? A: Yes. Hermès Carré 90 scarves are crafted from silk twill with hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges. This piece is 100% silk with hand‑rolled edges, as noted in the product information.
Q: How should I clean and care for an Hermès silk scarf? A: Keep it away from rain, water and chemicals, store it flat and untied, and when cleaning is needed, entrust it to a professional dry cleaner familiar with silk and hand‑rolled hems.
Q: Can I remove creases at home? A: If necessary, lightly steam from the reverse or press on the reverse through a pressing cloth, taking care never to flatten the hand‑rolled edges. If in doubt, ask a specialist.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 90? A: The Carré 90 is extremely versatile—style it as a neckerchief, headscarf or bandana, fold it into a bandeau, or tie it to a handle for a pop of colour. There are countless knotting options.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The item is sold as shown without extras. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page.
Q: Are the colours true to life? A: We shoot in natural light, but tones can vary by screen. Vintage silk dyes can be delicate; avoid rain, fragrance and prolonged sun exposure to preserve vibrancy.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly examined by our in‑house experts, reviewing silk quality, print and colouration, hand‑rolled hems, stamps and labels. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: There are small marks noted—can they be improved? A: Minor marks on vintage silk may be reduced by an experienced silk specialist, but results vary. We do not alter items after listing; please consult a trusted professional if you wish to pursue treatment.
