Ideal for a crisp city stroll or an evening at the theatre, this vintage Hermès triangle scarf in cashmere and silk adds refined warmth. Its multicolour graphic palette lifts tailored coats and knitwear, lending effortless Parisian elegance.
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 does “120 triangle” mean and how big is this scarf? A: It refers to the Hermès triangle format measuring approximately 120 cm along the long side and about 46 cm at the highest point. It is a compact triangle that sits neatly at the neck or as a headscarf. For reference, Hermès also offers a much larger giant triangle around 208 × 99 cm; please see the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece.
Q: What is the fabric and feel of this scarf? A: It is a cashmere–silk blend, 70% cashmere and 30% silk, with hand‑rolled edges. The mix gives a soft, lightweight drape with gentle warmth and a refined finish. Made in France.
Q: How can I style a 120 triangle? A: Fold to a triangle and wear as a bandana or “cowboy” knot at the front, wrap once around the neck and tie at the back, use as a headscarf or hair tie, or thread through a scarf ring. You can also tie it to a bag handle for a pop of colour. The 120 size is ideal for quick, everyday knots without too much bulk.
Q: Is the cashmere–silk triangle suitable year‑round? A: Yes. Cashmere adds gentle warmth while silk brings lightness and breathability, so it works across seasons and transitions well from day to evening.
Q: How should I care for cashmere–silk Hermès scarves? A: Avoid contact with rain, water, perfume and cosmetics. Store flat and untied in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning is needed, use a trusted professional dry cleaner familiar with fine silk and cashmere.
Q: Can I hand‑wash it at home? A: Some collectors do hand‑wash selected scarves, but there is a risk of colour transfer, texture change or flattening the hand‑rolled hems. For the safest result, we recommend professional cleaning only.
Q: Will cashmere–silk pill? A: Mild pilling can occur where there is friction; this is normal for cashmere fibres. Remove any pills gently with a dedicated cashmere comb or a fabric shaver used very lightly, and minimise rubbing against rough surfaces.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, a box is noted. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Do Hermès scarves have serial numbers or date stamps? A: Scarves do not carry the blind‑stamp date codes used on Hermès leather goods. Identification relies on the design, printing, labels and hand‑rolled hems rather than a stamped code.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this scarf? A: Each item is rigorously vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of fabric and weave, print precision, hand‑rolled hems, labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
