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 materials of this scarf? A: It measures approximately 55 × 55 cm and is crafted from 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled edges. As each edge is finished by hand, dimensions can vary slightly. Made in France.
Q: Who designed the Les Canyons Étoilés motif? A: The Les Canyons Étoilés design is by Pierre Marie, known for imaginative, storybook illustrations across Hermès silk collections.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 55/bandana 55? A: This size is very versatile: tie it at the neck (simple knot or “cowboy” fold), wrap it in the hair as a bandana or headband, knot it on the wrist, or style it on a bag handle for a pop of colour.
Q: Is the Carré 55 unisex? A: Yes. Hermès scarves and bandanas are designed to be worn by anyone. The 55 format works equally well for menswear and womenswear styling.
Q: How should I care for a Hermès silk scarf? A: Hermès advises professional dry cleaning and to avoid rain or moisture. Store it flat and untied, away from direct sunlight, and avoid contact with perfumes or cosmetics. If needed, press gently on the reverse at low temperature and do not crush the hand‑rolled hems.
Q: Can I hand‑wash it at home? A: While some collectors carefully hand‑wash scarves, this is at your own risk and may affect colour or finish—especially on vintage pieces. For safest results, use a trusted cleaner experienced with luxury silk.
Q: What is special about hand‑rolled edges? A: The rolled, hand‑stitched hems are a hallmark of Hermès craftsmanship. They give a plump finish that rolls toward the front of the print. Avoid ironing directly over the hems to preserve their shape, and expect slight size variation because they are finished by hand.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a box, as listed under Accessories.
Q: What is the condition of this scarf? A: Very good, with light trace of use. Please review the photos for specific details—vintage pieces may show minor signs consistent with gentle wear.
Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of silk quality, print clarity, hand‑rolled hems, labels/stamps, and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
