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 and material of this Hermès Twilly? A: The Twilly measures 85 x 5 cm and is crafted from 100% silk. Minor variations of a few millimetres can occur due to the nature of silk and finishing across collections.
Q: What does the Bolduc motif represent? A: Bolduc refers to Hermès’ signature ribbon used to tie the orange boxes. The print echoes this iconic ribbon-and-box theme, making it a timeless house design that pairs effortlessly with many bags and outfits.
Q: How can I wear or use a Twilly? A: Popular ways include wrapping it around bag handles, tying a bow on one handle, wearing it as a slim necktie, styling it as a hair ribbon or headband, or wrapping it as a bracelet. Its slim profile makes it easy to switch between looks in seconds.
Q: Will this length fit Birkin or Kelly handles, and how many do I need? A: Yes. At 85 cm, a Twilly comfortably wraps one handle on most Birkin and Kelly sizes. For a symmetrical look on bags with two top handles, most people use two Twillies—one per handle.
Q: Does wrapping a Twilly protect bag handles, and should I leave it on all the time? A: A Twilly helps shield handles from skin oils, lotions and light surface wear. For best practice, remove or loosen it periodically and avoid very tight wrapping, especially when storing your bag, to let the leather breathe and prevent impressions.
Q: Is the Twilly printed on both sides? A: Yes. Hermès Twillies are made from silk twill and are printed on both sides, so the design looks refined however you tie it.
Q: How should I clean and care for a silk Twilly? A: Keep it away from water, perfume and oils to preserve colour and sheen. If cleaning is needed, we recommend professional dry cleaning by a specialist familiar with silk. Hand washing can risk colour bleed on richly dyed silks; always test any care method on an inconspicuous area first. Store it rolled or laid flat, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, the original Hermès box is included as stated there.
Q: Where was this Twilly made? A: Hermès Twillies are typically made in France. This item is labelled France as its country of origin.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and is it authentic? A: Yes, this is a vintage Twilly. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, prints and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
