Perfect for a gallery opening or a refined weekend brunch, this vintage Hermès Carré 90 in pure silk adds colour and polish in an instant. Knot it at the neck with a blazer for the office, tie it to a tote while travelling, or drape it over shoulders for evening dinners—the multicoloured ‘Dans les Bras de Selene’ motif lends timeless flair to any look.
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 measurements of a Hermès Carré 90? A: A Carré 90 typically measures around 90 x 90 cm. Because the hems are hand-rolled, Hermès notes small variations and many pieces measure about 88.5 x 88.5 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this scarf.
Q: Who designed the Dans les Bras de Séléné motif? A: It is designed by Edouard Baribeaud and Sophia Andreotti for Hermès. The theme references Selene, the Greek goddess of the Moon, and this scarf is crafted in France in silk twill with hand-rolled edges.
Q: How can I style a Carré 90? A: The 90 is very versatile: wear it as a neckerchief or bandana, fold it into a headscarf, tie it as a belt, wrap a bag handle, or fold it into a halter-style top. Hermès provides many knotting ideas for this size, so you can rotate styles from casual to dressy.
Q: How should I care for this silk scarf? A: Hermès advises entrusting scarves to a professional dry cleaner and avoiding contact with rain, water and chemicals. Store it flat and untied, and avoid spraying perfume directly on the silk to preserve the colours and finish.
Q: Can I hand-wash it at home? A: We recommend following Hermès guidance and using a trusted professional. Some collectors choose to hand-wash at their own risk, but water exposure or the wrong detergent can dull the silk or affect colourfastness.
Q: Why do Hermès scarves sometimes have slightly wavy or irregular edges? A: The edges are rolled and stitched by hand, a traditional finish known as roulotté. This artisanal work gives a soft, three-dimensional edge and is also why dimensions can vary slightly from scarf to scarf.
Q: How can I check authenticity? A: Authentic Hermès scarves feature hand-rolled hems that roll toward the front, crisp print registration, the artist’s signature within the motif, and high-quality silk twill. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts using multi-point checks; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Will the colours run if it gets wet? A: Printed silk can be damaged by rain and moisture. Keep the scarf away from water and humidity; if it becomes damp, allow it to air dry flat and then entrust cleaning to a professional if needed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, as listed in the product information. Everything included with the item is always listed there; if an item is not listed, it is not included.
