Perfect for spring weddings, gallery openings or weekend escapes, this vintage Hermès Carré 90 in light blue silk brings a vibrant touch with its multicoloured Jungle Love motif. The surteint dip-dye and hand-rolled edges lend refinement to everything from daytime denim to evening tailoring.
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 size and materials of this Hermès Carré 90? A: It is crafted from 100% silk twill with hand-rolled edges and measures around 90 × 90 cm. Hermès notes the scarf is typically about 88.5 × 88.5 cm and slight variation is normal due to the hand-rolled finish. Made in France.
Q: Who designed the Jungle Love motif and when did it first appear? A: Jungle Love was created by French wildlife artist Robert Dallet and first appeared in the Hermès collection in 2000. It has since become a heritage design that is periodically reissued.
Q: What does the surteint (dip-dye) finish mean on this scarf? A: Surteint, or dip-dye, is an extra dye bath applied to a completed printed scarf. It subtly unifies the colours and gives the silk an especially soft, almost velvety feel while preserving the underlying design.
Q: How should I clean and care for a Hermès silk scarf? A: Avoid washing. Entrust it to a professional dry cleaner who understands hand-rolled hems. Keep the scarf away from rain, water and chemicals, and store it flat and untied when not in use.
Q: Why might the dimensions differ slightly from one Carré 90 to another? A: Minor size variations are expected because the edges are hand-rolled and hand-finished, which can change the measured size by a small margin.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 90? A: It is highly versatile: knot it at the neck, wear as a headscarf, style it as a top, or tie it at the waist. It can also be wrapped around a bag handle for a pop of colour.
Q: Does this piece come with a box or other accessories? A: This item is listed as coming with no accessories. Everything included is stated in the Accessories section; if a box or ribbon is not listed, it is not included.
Q: Is this scarf authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous authentication by our in-house experts, including checks of silk quality, print precision, hems and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What does Very Good condition with light traces of use mean for a silk scarf? A: You can expect subtle signs of wear consistent with gentle use, such as light creasing or slight softening of the rolled edges. There are no major defects unless specifically noted in the description or photos.
