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 Twilly? A: Hermès Twillies are typically about 86 × 5 cm and made from 100% silk. This piece is approximately 85 × 5 cm; please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size and view the photos for details.
Q: How can I wear or use a Twilly? A: Twillies are extremely versatile. Common uses include wrapping bag handles, tying around the neck or wrist, styling in the hair, threading through belt loops, or finishing with a bow on a tote or top handle. Explore the photos for styling ideas and feel free to ask us for tips.
Q: Do I need one or two Twillies for Birkin or Kelly handles? A: Many people use one Twilly per handle for symmetry, so two for a Birkin or Kelly. Others prefer a single Twilly on one handle for a more relaxed look. It’s a matter of personal preference and the effect you want.
Q: Will this Twilly fit and protect my bag handles? A: At around 85 cm long, a Twilly comfortably wraps most standard top handles (including Hermès models) and adds a protective silk barrier against natural oils, lotions and light wear. If your handles are very thick or you prefer a fuller wrap, you may need to adjust the tying style.
Q: How should I care for the silk? A: Avoid contact with rain, water, perfume and other chemicals, store it flat and untied, and entrust cleaning to a professional dry cleaner familiar with fine silk. This helps preserve both the print and the silk’s finish over time.
Q: Can I remove creases at home? A: Minor creasing often relaxes if you lay the Twilly flat or loosely roll it. For stubborn creases, ask a professional to steam it. If you choose to do it yourself, use the lowest iron setting on the reverse side with a pressing cloth and avoid direct contact with the silk.
Q: Could colours transfer between the Twilly and my bag? A: Any dyed textile or leather can transfer colour with friction or moisture. As a precaution, avoid wrapping light silk on damp or recently treated dark leather, and remove the Twilly if it gets wet. Keep both silk and leather clean and dry to minimise risk.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If a box or store ribbon isn’t mentioned there, it is not included with this listing.
Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès Twilly? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously checked by our in-house experts. For Twillies, we examine silk quality, print clarity, brand markings and labels, and stitching. Note that larger Hermès carrés usually have hand‑rolled hems, whereas Twillies generally feature finely stitched flat edges—please review our close-up photos for this piece’s finish.
Q: Is this piece vintage and what is its condition? A: Yes, this is a vintage Twilly. It is graded Very Good with light traces of use, as noted in the condition details on this page.
