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 is the Hermès Silk Ribbon Hair Clip? A: It is a vintage Hermès barrette featuring a black, white and beige patterned silk bow attached to a silver‑toned metal clip engraved “Hermès Paris”. Please review the listing photos for the exact design details of this piece.
Q: What are the dimensions of this clip? A: The approximate overall measurements are Width 17 cm x Height 11 cm x Depth 3 cm. This size works well for half‑up styles, low ponytails and side sweeps.
Q: How does the clip fasten and will it hold in fine or thick hair? A: It uses a classic French barrette‑style metal mechanism. For fine hair, add a touch of texture (dry shampoo or texturising spray) or anchor with a small elastic before clipping. For thick hair, secure a smaller section or style a half‑up look for best grip.
Q: How can I style this hair clip? A: Try a half‑up bow, above the elastic on a low ponytail, to one side to secure face‑framing strands, or at the base of a soft chignon. For a neat finish, smooth flyaways first and position the clip parallel to the scalp.
Q: Is it suitable for special occasions as well as everyday wear? A: Yes. The refined silk bow makes it ideal for weddings, garden parties and evening dinners, while it can also elevate everyday outfits with a subtle touch of Hermès elegance.
Q: What materials is it made from and how should I care for them? A: The bow is crafted from silk and the fastening is silver‑toned metal. Keep silk away from rain and moisture and avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly on it. We recommend professional dry cleaning if needed. Wipe the metal gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Q: What comes with this item? A: This listing is delivered with its box and receipt, as stated in the Accessories section and shown in the photos.
Q: Where is it made? A: The country of origin label indicates France for this piece. Please see the product images for the label placement.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑owned piece? A: Overall condition is noted as Very Good with a light trace of use. As with vintage items, minor signs of wear may be present; please review the detailed photos and condition notes.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: A Retro Tale conducts rigorous multi‑point authentication on every item we sell. This clip features the precise “Hermès Paris” engraving and high‑quality materials consistent with authentic Hermès accessories.
