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 and how can I wear it? A: The Carré 45 is a petite square of about 45 × 45 cm, perfect as a pocket square, a neat neckerchief, tied in the hair or at the wrist, or to personalise a bag. Because the edges are hand‑rolled, the exact dimensions may vary slightly from piece to piece.
Q: What does Carré 45 (also called a gavroche) mean? A: In Hermès terminology, Carré refers to a square scarf and 45 denotes the small 45 cm format. This size is often called a gavroche or pocket square and is designed for versatile everyday styling.
Q: What is this scarf made from? A: 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges, made in France. The fine roulotté hem is a hallmark of Hermès craftsmanship.
Q: How should I care for a Hermès silk scarf? A: Avoid washing. Entrust the scarf to a professional dry cleaner and keep it away from rain, water, perfume and other chemicals. Store it flat and untied to preserve the hand‑rolled edges and the crispness of the silk.
Q: Can I use it as a pocket square in a suit jacket? A: Yes. The 45 cm size folds neatly into a breast pocket without bulk. You can wear it in a puff, flat or pointed fold; for tying and folding ideas, Hermès also offers the Silk Knots tutorials app.
Q: Is the Mysterious Rider motif specific to one size? A: Mysterious Rider is an Hermès design that appears across different formats and fabrics. Colourways and scale can vary by size and season; this piece is the 45 cm silk‑twill square.
Q: Why might the hem look slightly irregular? A: Hermès scarves are finished with roulotté, a hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edge that can show subtle variations. This is normal and considered a sign of authentic hand finishing rather than a flaw.
Q: Is this size unisex? A: Yes. The 45 cm format is popular with all genders—worn as a pocket square, neckerchief, bandana, hair tie or as a decorative touch on a bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, there are no extras such as a box or care booklet.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Hermès scarves? A: Each item is vetted by our experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality and weave, print clarity, brand stamps, care labels and the hand‑rolled edges. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
