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 fabric of this Carré 90? A: It is approximately 90 × 90 centimetres and crafted from 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges. Because the edges are rolled by hand, minor variations in measurements are normal.
Q: What does the “Donner la Main” design represent? A: First issued in the early 2000s and attributed to Karen Petrossian, “Donner la Main” (Giving Your Hand) depicts people holding hands as a message of unity. A special edition linked to a human‑rights partnership was later released in limited numbers.
Q: Is the Carré 90 size versatile and unisex? A: Yes. The 90 cm square is Hermès’ classic format—easy to tie around the neck, in the hair, as a belt, on a bag handle, or styled as a halter/bandeau top. Its scale and design make it suitable for all genders and year‑round wear.
Q: How can I style this scarf day to night? A: Day: fold into a band and knot at the side of the neck, wrap as a headband, or thread through belt loops. Evening: drape on the shoulders, create a simple bias‑fold knot, or tie as a chic top layered under a blazer. For more tying ideas, explore classic Hermès knotting techniques.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Avoid washing. Entrust the scarf to a professional dry cleaner familiar with hand‑rolled hems. Keep it away from rain, water, perfumes and oils, and store it flat and untied, out of direct sunlight to preserve the colours and silk finish.
Q: Can I steam out creases at home? A: Light creases often relax naturally when the scarf is stored flat. If needed, use minimal steam from a distance with a pressing cloth and avoid pressing directly on the rolled edges. When in doubt, ask a professional cleaner to press it.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, as listed under product information. Everything included is shown there; if an item is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and what condition should I expect? A: Yes—this is a vintage Hermès scarf in Very Good condition with light traces of use. Gentle signs such as faint creasing or tiny pulls may be present and are consistent with careful wear; please review the photos for details.
Q: How do you authenticate Hermès scarves? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk twill quality, print precision, hand‑rolled hems, artist signatures and Hermès markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
