Q: What is a Hermès Carré 90 and how big is it? A: The Carré 90 is the house’s classic square silk scarf crafted from 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled edges. It measures approximately 90 × 90 cm (about 34.8 × 34.8 in); because the edges are hand‑rolled, slight variations in size are normal.
Q: Who designed the Casques et Plumets motif, and when was it issued? A: Casques et Plumets was created by Julie Abadie. The design was first issued in 1989 and was later reissued in 2012. It depicts ornate 19th‑century French cavalry helmets with plumes.
Q: Is this piece considered vintage? A: Yes. The design dates back to 1989, and this item is listed by A Retro Tale as vintage. Please refer to the Condition section on this page for specific wear notes.
Q: How should I care for an Hermès silk scarf? A: Avoid contact with rain, water, and chemicals (including perfume and hairspray). Store it flat and untied, and when cleaning is needed, entrust it to a professional dry cleaner experienced with silk. This helps preserve the colour and the hand‑rolled hems.
Q: Can I wash an Hermès scarf at home? A: Hermès recommends professional dry cleaning only. Some collectors do hand‑wash at their own risk, but for safety and to protect the colours and finish, we advise following the brand’s guidance and using a trusted specialist cleaner.
Q: What does “hand‑rolled edges” mean, and why does it matter? A: The hems are rolled and stitched by hand (often called roulotté). This gives a soft, rounded edge that may show subtle, natural variations—an authentic hallmark of Hermès craftsmanship and a key detail collectors look for.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 90? A: It’s wonderfully versatile: wear it around the neck, as a headscarf, at the waist as a belt, or styled as a chic top. The generous size lets the artwork be displayed beautifully in many knots and wraps.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing states no accessories are included. If a box or other extras are not listed under Accessories, they are not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this scarf? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality, printing, hand‑rolled hems, artist signatures, stamps, and care labels. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
