Perfect for a gallery opening or chic city brunch, this vintage Hermès Carré 90 in light blue, navy and gold silk brings refined polish to any look. The iconic Éperon d’Or Forever print and hand‑rolled edges offer timeless elegance—knot at the neck, drape over the shoulders or style in the hair.
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 does “Éperon d’Or Forever” mean?
A: “Forever” scarves are heritage editions that honour the original artwork in emblematic colours. They are not reworked or redesigned, keeping the authentic composition of the Éperon d’Or motif.
Q: What are the size and fabric details of a Carré 90?
A: It is approximately 90 × 90 cm (about 35 × 35 inches) in 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges. Because the hems are finished by hand, small variations in the final dimensions are normal.
Q: How can I wear this scarf?
A: It is extremely versatile: wear it around the neck (triangle or bias fold), as a headscarf, at the waist as a belt, styled as a halter top, or tied to a bag handle. Experiment with simple knots to change the look from casual to polished.
Q: Who designed Éperon d’Or and when was it first issued?
A: The design is by Henri d’Origny and first appeared in 1974. It arranges bridles, stirrups and harness elements into a graphic rosette, reflecting Hermès’ equestrian heritage.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès silk scarf?
A: Avoid contact with rain, water, perfume and cosmetics. Store it flat and untied, away from direct sunlight. When cleaning is needed, Hermès recommends entrusting scarves to a professional dry cleaner familiar with silk.
Q: Can I hand‑wash it at home?
A: Official guidance is professional dry cleaning. Some experienced collectors do very gentle hand‑washing at their own risk: cool water and a delicate silk wash, no wringing; blot in a towel and dry flat away from heat. If you choose to press, use low heat on the reverse and avoid flattening the rolled edges.
Q: How can I tell if an Hermès scarf is authentic?
A: Hallmarks include finely hand‑rolled hems that roll towards the printed side, matching hem thread colour, crisp screen printing with well‑aligned details, an artist’s signature within the artwork, and the Hermès Paris inscription. Many vintage pieces also have a fabric care tag. At A Retro Tale, every item is authenticated via multi‑point checks; please contact us for specifics on this piece.
Q: Is the Carré 90 unisex and suitable year‑round?
A: Yes. The 90 cm format is worn by all genders, and breathable silk twill makes it comfortable in every season—layered in cooler months or tied lightly in warmer weather.
Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: Everything included is always listed under Accessories on this page. For this listing, no accessories are included.
Q: Why might the size or edge look slightly irregular?
A: Each scarf is hand‑rolled and hand‑stitched, so gentle variations in the hem and final measurements are a normal sign of craftsmanship rather than a flaw.
