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 Carré 90 mean and how big is this scarf? A: Carré 90 refers to Hermès’ classic square scarf that measures around 90 × 90 cm. Minor variations (typically within a couple of centimetres) can occur because the edges are hand‑rolled. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this exact piece.
Q: Who designed Les Rubans du Cheval and when was it released? A: The motif was designed by Joachim Metz. It first appeared in the late 1980s and has been reissued in later years, so colours and borders can vary between editions.
Q: What is the fabric and finish like? A: It is 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled, hand‑stitched edges. The twill weave gives a crisp drape and the rolled hem creates a softly rounded border typical of Hermès carrés.
Q: How should I clean and care for a 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 store it flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Q: Will colours bleed on vintage Hermès scarves? A: Older issues can use natural dyes that are not always fully colourfast. To preserve the print, avoid getting the scarf wet and do not wear it in the rain; keep it away from humidity.
Q: How can I style a Carré 90? A: It is highly versatile: wear it around the neck, as a headscarf, at the waist as a belt, or styled as a top. Many also wrap it around a handbag handle or frame it as wall art.
Q: How do you authenticate this scarf? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality, print clarity, artist signature and stamps, stitching, and the hand‑rolled hem. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and can share additional photos on request.
Q: What should I look for if inspecting a Hermès scarf in person? A: Authentic pieces have plump hand‑rolled hems stitched with matching silk thread, finely detailed screen‑printed artwork that sits cleanly within borders, and high‑quality silk twill. Flat or machine‑stitched edges and sloppy printing are red flags.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. Unless stated there, no additional items are included.
Q: How does a Carré 90 compare to a Carré 70? A: The 90 offers more coverage and shows the artwork in full; the 70 is smaller and can be easier to tie as a neckerchief. Some 70s are issued in washed or vintage silk with a softer, more relaxed drape.
