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 Carré 55? A: It measures approximately 55 × 55 cm and is crafted from 100% silk twill with hand-rolled edges. This size is often called the bandana or mini carré and is made in France.
Q: What is the ‘In The Mountain(s)’ motif? A: ‘In The Mountains’ is a contemporary Hermès design by artist Nigel Peake. It features a graphic mountain-inspired landscape and has appeared in the 55 cm bandana format in various colourways since its first issue in the mid-2010s.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 55? A: The 55 is ideal as a neckerchief, bandana, headband, ponytail wrap, wrist wrap, or tied around a bag handle. Fold diagonally into a triangle and secure with a simple double knot, or use a small scarf ring for a neat finish.
Q: Is this scarf vintage? A: Yes. This piece is listed as vintage and is in Very Good condition with light traces of use. Please refer to the Condition section on this page for the precise grading notes.
Q: How should I clean and care for Hermès silk? A: Follow the care label: dry clean only. Keep away from rain, fragrances and oils. For minor marks, gently blot with cool water and a soft, white cloth; never rub. If pressing, use low heat on the reverse, protect with a cloth, and avoid touching the hand-rolled edges.
Q: Will the colours run if it gets wet? A: Some older issues and certain dyes may be less colourfast. Avoid getting the scarf wet; if it does happen, lay it flat to air-dry away from heat and sunlight. Do not wring or tumble-dry.
Q: What’s the best way to store it? A: Store flat or loosely folded in a breathable pouch or drawer, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging by the hand-rolled edges and keep it clear of rough surfaces or sharp jewellery that could snag the silk.
Q: How can I spot key authenticity cues on Hermès scarves? A: Look for fine silk twill with crisp printing, hand-rolled hems that roll toward the front (printed side) with even, near-invisible stitching, and the artist’s signature integrated into the design. Design details should match known issues. When in doubt, consult an expert—every item at A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated before sale.
Q: Are any accessories included with this listing? A: Everything included is stated under Accessories. For this piece, the Accessories section notes no accessories are included (such as box or scarf ring).
