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 of this Hermès Carré 90 scarf? A: Approximately 90 × 90 cm (about 34.8 × 34.8 in). Because the edges are hand-rolled, slight variations of a few millimetres are normal and part of the craftsmanship.
Q: What is the “Les Clés” design and when was it introduced? A: Les Clés, also known as Les Clefs or The Keys, is a classic Hermès motif by Caty Latham featuring ornate antique keys arranged around a central medallion. It was first issued in 1965 and has been reissued in various colourways over the years.
Q: How can I style a Carré 90? A: The 90 is extremely versatile—wear it around the neck (simple knot or diagonal fold), as a headscarf, at the waist as a belt, as a top, or tied to a bag handle. Its square format is designed for easy knotting and multiple looks.
Q: What is the material and finish? A: 100% silk twill with hand-rolled, hand-stitched edges. This gives the scarf a soft yet structured drape and is a hallmark of Hermès craftsmanship.
Q: How should I care for this silk scarf? A: Avoid contact with rain, water and chemicals such as perfume or hairspray. Store it flat and untied. For cleaning, Hermès recommends professional dry cleaning by a specialist familiar with hand-rolled edges.
Q: How can I check authenticity on an Hermès scarf? A: Look for plump hand‑rolled hems that roll towards the front (the printed side) with neat stitching in matching thread, crisp screen-printed details, and high‑quality silk twill. Many designs include the artist’s signature, though early issues of some motifs may be unsigned. Every piece at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts before sale.
Q: Is this particular piece vintage and what’s included? A: Yes, this is a vintage Hermès Carré 90 “Les Clés” in a multicolour palette with pink and white tones. Accessories are not included with this item; everything provided is listed on the page.
Q: Is the Carré 90 unisex? A: Absolutely. While often styled in womenswear, Hermès square scarves are worn by all genders and can be tied to suit any personal style.
Q: Will the colours run or transfer if it gets wet? A: Printed silk can be affected by moisture, and Hermès notes that rain or water may damage the print. Keep the scarf dry and allow lotions or perfumes to set before wearing.
