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 size is this beanie and how does size L fit? A: Size L suits medium-to-large head sizes or anyone who prefers a roomier, slightly slouchy fit. The knit has natural stretch and the ribbed cuff helps it stay in place. For reference, this piece measures about 22 cm wide by 21 cm high; measuring your head circumference and comparing with your usual beanies is the best guide.
Q: Is this Hermès beanie unisex? A: Yes. The classic shape and neutral beige colour work well on most head shapes and styles, making it easy to wear across wardrobes.
Q: Where is it made? A: Hermès cashmere beanies are commonly crafted in Italy; this specific piece is labelled Made in Italy.
Q: How warm is a cashmere beanie compared with wool? A: Cashmere offers excellent warmth without bulk thanks to its fine, lofty fibres. Overall warmth depends on knit density and ply: denser knits feel warmer, while looser knits breathe more for milder days.
Q: Will cashmere pill, and how do I deal with it? A: Some light pilling is normal with soft natural fibres, especially early on and in high-friction areas. Remove pills gently with a cashmere comb or fabric shaver, sweeping in one direction—never pull them off.
Q: How should I wash and dry it? A: Always follow the care label. If hand washing is permitted, use cool water and a wool/cashmere detergent, gently squeeze (do not wring), rinse well, then reshape and dry flat away from heat and sunlight. If the label states dry clean only, use a trusted professional cleaner.
Q: How should I store a cashmere beanie between seasons? A: Store it clean, folded and completely dry in a breathable bag or box with natural moth deterrents such as cedar. Avoid hanging, which can stretch knits. Keep away from damp and direct light.
Q: Will it stretch or shrink over time? A: Knitted cashmere has a little natural give and may relax slightly with wear. To maintain its shape, avoid over-stretching, wash sparingly, and always dry flat. Heat or rough agitation can cause shrinkage or distortion.
Q: Can I wear it in light rain or snow? A: Brief moisture is fine, but avoid soaking. If it gets wet, gently blot, reshape and let it air-dry flat away from direct heat—never tumble-dry.
Q: What comes with this item, and how is it authenticated? A: This listing includes the beanie only; no accessories are included unless explicitly stated under Accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in-house experts via multi-point checks of materials, labels and finishing, and we are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
