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 70 and how does it wear day to day? A: The Carré 70 is approximately 70 × 70 cm. Hermès describes this size as modern and versatile, ideal as a neckerchief, bandana-style headscarf, hair tie, or to accent a bag handle. As each scarf is hand-finished, very slight size variations can occur.
Q: Is this Hermès Carré 70 100% silk with hand-rolled edges? A: Yes. Hermès Carré 70 scarves are crafted in 100% silk twill and finished with hand-rolled, hand-stitched edges, which is a hallmark of the Maison’s scarves.
Q: Is the Carré 70 considered unisex? A: Yes. Hermès showcases silk styling for all genders. The 70 format works equally well on women and men as a neckerchief, bandana, or pocket-square style accent.
Q: How can I tie and style this size? A: Popular options include the classic neck roll, cowboy fold, bandana, headband, ponytail tie, and bag handle wrap. For more ideas, Hermès provides step-by-step knotting guides and an app with tutorials to explore different looks.
Q: How should I clean and care for a Hermès silk scarf? A: Hermès recommends professional dry cleaning for scarves and advises avoiding washing at home. Keep away from rain, perfumes, oils, and prolonged sunlight to preserve colour and silk lustre.
Q: Can I remove light creases at home without damaging the hems? A: If professional pressing isn’t available, place a clean cotton pressing cloth over the scarf and use a low “silk” heat from the reverse side, avoiding direct contact with the rolled hems so they remain rounded. Do not steam directly on the print. Store flat or gently folded in its box to minimise creasing.
Q: How do I recognise key authenticity traits on Hermès scarves? A: Look for plump hand-rolled edges that roll towards the front (design) side with matching thread colour, crisp registration of the print, and quality silk twill. Note that Hermès scarves do not come with authenticity cards; this is often a red flag. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house experts before listing.
Q: Does this piece come with packaging and is it suitable for gifting? A: Yes, this particular scarf includes its original box as listed under Accessories. It arrives ready for gifting; any included accessories are always detailed on this page.
Q: When was the “In Pursuit Of Dreams” motif issued? A: The motif has been seen in contemporary issues around the 2010s, though Hermès does not print the year on the scarf itself. Exact year can vary by colourway and reissue.
Q: Can a Carré 70 be worn as a top? A: The 70 is usually best as a neckerchief, headscarf or bandeau. For full coverage tops, many prefer the larger Carré 90; the 70 can work layered over a camisole or as a bandeau depending on fit and styling preferences.
