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 material of this Hermès Carré 90? A: It is crafted from silk twill (100% silk) with hand‑rolled edges and measures approximately 90 × 90 cm. As the hems are rolled by hand, slight variations in final dimensions are normal.
Q: Who designed the Fleurs de Fuchsia motif and when was it first issued? A: The design is by Leigh P. Cook (also credited as Leigh Cooke) and was first issued in 2006. The motif features delicate clusters of fuchsia flowers.
Q: How should I clean an Hermès silk scarf? A: Hermès advises avoiding washing and entrusting scarves to a professional dry cleaner who will protect the hand‑rolled edges. Keep silk away from rain and moisture, and avoid contact with perfumes or hair products that may mark the fabric.
Q: How should I store the scarf to preserve it? A: Store it flat or loosely rolled in a breathable box with acid‑free tissue, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Avoid pins or sharp jewellery and opt for smooth scarf rings only if you use them.
Q: How versatile is the Carré 90 for styling? A: Extremely versatile. Wear it around the neck in a simple or double knot, as a headscarf or hair tie, folded as a chic top, or tied onto a bag handle. The Carré 90 is designed for creativity and suits all genders and styles.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the scarf only. Please see the product information section on this page for exactly what is included; if an item such as a box or scarf ring is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What authenticity features should I look for on an Hermès scarf? A: Expect hand‑rolled, slightly plump hems rolled toward the front with thread matching the silk; the artist’s signature and “Hermès – Paris” integrated into the print; and era‑appropriate care labels (which have varied over time). Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: Can I frame this scarf as wall art? A: Yes. For longevity, ask a professional framer to use acid‑free, archival mounting, a spacer so the silk doesn’t touch the glazing, and UV‑protective glass or acrylic. Hang out of direct sunlight to minimise fading.
Q: Will the colour match exactly what I see on my screen? A: Minor colour differences can occur due to screen settings and the nature of silk printing. As a vintage piece in very good condition, subtle tone variations and light traces of use are normal and noted in the condition report.
