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 exact dimensions of this Hermès silk scarf? A: It measures approximately 42 × 42 cm. Because Hermès scarves have hand-rolled hems, there can be a slight natural variation in size from piece to piece. In inches, 42 cm is roughly 16.5 inches per side.
Q: How does a 42 cm square compare with other Hermès sizes? A: The 42 cm square is a small-format scarf, very close to the classic 45 cm “gavroche” or pocket square. It is smaller than the 70 cm and 90 cm carrés and is ideal for a pocket square, neckerchief, wrist wrap, hair ribbon or tied to a bag handle.
Q: How can I wear this size? A: This small square is versatile. Fold it diagonally and tie around the neck, style it as a pocket square, wrap it around your wrist, thread it through a ponytail, or knot it on a bag handle. Hermès also offers knotting ideas for creative ways to tie small and larger squares.
Q: What is the fabric and where are Hermès silk squares made? A: Hermès pocket squares are typically crafted from 100% silk twill with hand-rolled edges and are made in France. Many product pages for the 45 cm pocket square specify these details and note the hand-rolled finish.
Q: How should I care for and clean the silk? A: Hermès advises avoiding washing and entrusting scarves to a professional dry cleaner who will take care with the hand-rolled edges. Printed silk can be damaged by rain, so avoid water exposure and allow the scarf to dry naturally if it gets damp. Store it flat or loosely rolled away from direct sunlight and perfumes.
Q: Can I iron or steam out creases at home? A: For best results, ask a professional cleaner to steam the scarf. At home, let light creases relax by gently hanging the scarf; if needed, use a low-steam setting through a pressing cloth, keeping clear of the rolled edges. Avoid high heat and do not press the hems flat.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, reviewing silk quality, print clarity, stitching, stamps and other markers. Hallmarks of genuine Hermès scarves include hand-rolled hems that roll toward the front and colour-matched stitching; machine-stitched or overlocked edges are red flags. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the scarf only. Any extras such as a box or care booklet are not included unless explicitly stated in the product information on this page.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. The small-format Hermès silk square is a timeless piece worn by all genders—as a pocket square, neckerchief, hair accessory or bag accent—so it easily adapts to your style.
Q: Why might the colour look different in person? A: We photograph items carefully, but screen settings and lighting can make colours appear slightly different. This piece is noted as green with black and white in the product information; expect subtle variation between displays and real life.
