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? A: This is the classic Carré 90 in silk twill with hand-rolled edges, measuring approximately 90 × 90 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size noted for this piece.
Q: What is the “Springs” design and who created it? A: “Springs” is an equestrian-inspired motif featuring a carriage theme, created by artist Philippe Ledoux for Hermès. The design was first issued in 1974 and has been reissued in various colourways over the years. The exact production year of this particular scarf is not specified.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 90? A: The Carré 90 is very versatile: fold on the bias and tie at the neck, wear bandana-style, as a headscarf or hairband, loop through belt hoops as a slim belt, or wrap around a bag handle. Hermès offers many classic knots if you’d like styling ideas.
Q: How should I care for an Hermès silk scarf? A: Hermès recommends professional dry cleaning and advises avoiding washing. Printed silk can be damaged by rain; if it gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid perfume, hairspray and direct sunlight, and store flat or loosely rolled to protect the hand-rolled edges.
Q: Can I hand-wash it at home? A: While some collectors carefully hand-wash silk, Hermès advises entrusting scarves to a professional cleaner experienced with fine silks and paying attention to the rolled hems. Home washing and steam can flatten hems and may affect colour and print—proceed only at your own risk.
Q: What signs indicate an authentic Hermès Carré? A: Typical hallmarks include hand-rolled, hand-stitched edges that roll toward the front (design side) with matching thread, crisp screen-printing and strong colour registration, the artist’s signature and Hermès Paris marking, and a care label appropriate to the era. As always, purchase from trusted experts; every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our specialists before listing.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If a box, ribbon or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included. Please contact us if you would like us to confirm what comes with this piece.
Q: What does the condition grade mean? A: This scarf is in Very Good condition with light trace of use, consistent with careful wear. Expect minor signs such as soft creasing or the lightest surface signs visible only on close inspection. Please review the photos for full details.
Q: Any storage tips to preserve the hem and colours? A: Store clean and dry, laid flat in a drawer or loosely rolled; avoid compressing the roulotté (rolled edges). Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture and moths; a breathable dust cover and acid-free tissue can help maintain the silk and colours over time.
