Perfect for a gallery opening, smart lunch or a chic city weekend, this vintage Hermès Carré 90 adds refined flair. Its white silk, gold‑and‑brown Cheval de Légende motif and hand‑rolled edges bring elegant polish—knot at the neck or tie to a handbag to elevate blazers and simple day dresses from desk to dinner.
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 Carré 90? A: The Carré 90 typically measures about 90 × 90 cm. This vintage piece is crafted from 100% silk twill with hand-rolled edges. Slight variations can occur due to hand-finishing.
Q: What does “Cheval de Légende” refer to? A: It is an equestrian-themed Hermès design known for its intricate horse motif. Many references attribute the artwork to Benoît‑Pierre Emery, first issued around 2010, and it appears in various colourways including gold and brown.
Q: How should I clean and care for this silk scarf? A: Avoid washing. Hermès recommends using a trusted professional dry cleaner who will respect the hand-rolled edges. Keep silk away from rain and moisture, and avoid contact with perfumes or lotions.
Q: Can I remove folds or creases at home? A: Use gentle steam from a short distance and allow the fabric to relax. If you must iron, do so on the reverse at the lowest silk setting with a pressing cloth, taking care not to flatten the hand-rolled edges.
Q: Will rain affect the colours? A: Yes. Printing on silk can be damaged by rain and excessive moisture. If the scarf becomes damp, let it air dry flat away from direct heat and avoid rubbing the surface.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece is noted without additional items; please contact us if you would like clarification.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage scarf? A: Very Good overall, with a faint line mark and a light trace of use. Please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: Is the Carré 90 unisex and how can I style it? A: Absolutely. Wear it around the neck, as a headscarf or hair band, threaded through belt loops, wrapped on a bag handle, or folded into a chic top—the 90 size is very versatile.
Q: How should I store it? A: Store flat and loosely folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging by the hem; using acid-free tissue helps preserve the shape and colour over time.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Hermès scarves? A: Our specialists perform multi-point checks of fabric quality, print precision, hand-rolled hems, brand markings, care labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
