An elegant finishing touch for spring events, this pink Hermès Carré 45 Cheval Déchainé silk scarf shines at garden parties, wedding receptions, or gallery openings. Wear it knotted at the neck, as a chic headscarf, or wrapped at the wrist to lend a refined pastel accent to day-to-evening looks.
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 Hermès Carré 45? A: It measures approximately 45 x 45 cm and is crafted from 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled edges. As each scarf is hand‑finished, slight variations in dimensions are normal. Made in France.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 45 in everyday life? A: This small square is versatile: fold into a triangle for a neat neckerchief, tie as a headband, wrap around the wrist, or knot to a bag handle for a pop of colour. Hermès also offers many styling ideas for squares if you’d like inspiration.
Q: Is the Carré 45 different from a Twilly? A: Yes. The Carré 45 is a square (about 45 cm each side) for bandana‑style ties and compact folds, while a Twilly is a narrow ribbon (around 5 x 86.5 cm) that’s ideal for wrapping bag handles, braiding into hair, or slim neck ties. Choose based on the look you prefer and how you plan to style it.
Q: Will a 45 cm scarf tie comfortably around the neck? A: For most people, yes. Folded into a triangle, the diagonal is roughly 63 cm, which works for a simple knot close to the neck. If you like a looser drape or larger knots, consider stepping up to a 70 cm or 90 cm carré.
Q: Can I wash this silk scarf at home? A: Hermès advises against washing silk scarves. Entrust cleaning to a professional dry cleaner who understands hand‑rolled edges, and avoid rain or water as moisture can affect printed silk.
Q: How should I store it to keep it in good condition? A: Store the scarf flat and untied in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from water and chemicals, and avoid prolonged pressure on the hand‑rolled edges.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece is listed as coming with no accessories. Everything included is specified under the Accessories section on this page; if it isn’t listed there, it’s not included.
Q: Is this Hermès scarf unisex? A: Absolutely. Hermès carrés are designed to be styled by anyone, and the 45 cm format works well as a neckerchief, pocket accent, or bag accessory regardless of gender.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining silk quality, print precision, hand‑rolled hems and stitching, stamps and labels, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Will the colour match the photos exactly? A: We aim to photograph items accurately, but screen settings and lighting can cause slight differences. Please review the condition notes and images carefully, and contact us if you need a colour check before purchase.
