Perfect for a spring wedding, garden party or gallery opening, this Hermès 145 silk scarf in multicolour leopard and floral print brings a chic pop of colour when draped over the shoulders or tied at the neck.
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: How big is this Hermès scarf and how does it compare to the classic carré? A: This piece measures approximately 145 × 145 cm, making it larger than the classic 90 cm carré and ideal to wear as a shawl or wrap. Hermès “giant” silk scarves are typically around 140 cm and may vary slightly because the edges are hand‑rolled; our listing provides the exact measurement for this item.
Q: What fabric is it and how does it feel? A: It is 100% silk with hand‑rolled edges. Hermès silk twill is smooth yet structured with a gentle sheen, allowing the scarf to drape beautifully while holding folds and knots elegantly.
Q: How can I wear a 145 cm Hermès scarf? A: The larger square is very versatile—wear it as a shoulder‑covering shawl, a neck wrap with a bias fold, a headscarf, or belted at the waist. Hermès showcases many knotting ideas, and the 140/145 size works especially well for shawl and wrap styles because of the generous dimensions.
Q: Are slight differences in size or hems normal on Hermès scarves? A: Yes. The edges are rolled and stitched by hand (roulotté), so small variations in dimensions and a subtle, slightly plump hem that rolls toward the front of the print are normal characteristics of authentic Hermès scarves.
Q: How should I clean and care for the silk? A: Hermès advises not to wash silk scarves and to entrust cleaning to a professional dry cleaner who will take special care of the hand‑rolled edges. Printed silk can be damaged by rain, so avoid water and protect from perfume, hairspray, and lotions. Store loosely folded, flat and away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and shape.
Q: Can I hand‑wash it at home? A: We recommend following Hermès’ guidance (professional dry cleaning). Some collectors carefully hand‑wash at their own risk, but colour migration, loss of lustre, or damage to the rolled hems can occur. If you ever attempt spot care, test an inconspicuous area first and never rub; avoid pressing the rolled edges when ironing.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Absolutely. While Hermès categorises some scarves by department, the 140/145 square is widely worn by all genders as a statement shawl, wrap, or neck scarf—style it in the way that suits you best.
Q: Does this listing include any accessories? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this item, Accessories states “no accessories,” so it does not come with a box or scarf ring. If you need gift packaging, please contact us and we’ll be happy to advise.
Q: Can Hermès refresh or repair a scarf if needed in future? A: Yes. Hermès offers after‑sales services and can assess care, refresh, or certain repairs for silk carrés. For any future needs, you can contact Hermès customer service or visit a boutique for guidance, or reach out to us and we’ll assist with next steps.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks (silk quality, print, artist signatures and marks, hand‑rolled hems, labels and stamps). We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
