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 dimensions and material of this Twilly? A: This piece measures approximately 85 x 5 cm and is crafted from 100% silk. It is made in France. Twilly ribbons are typically around 86 x 5 cm overall, with small variations by design and production.
Q: What is the Rocabar motif? A: Rocabar is an Hermès heritage stripe originally seen on 19th‑century horse blankets. The classic palette featured ochre with navy and coral stripes, and the motif has been reinterpreted over time across different colours and materials, including silk.
Q: How can I style a Twilly? A: Popular options include wrapping a bag handle, tying it as a slim neck scarf, hair ribbon, wrist wrap, hat band, or threading it through belt loops. Twillies are versatile and unisex, so you can adapt the knot and placement to suit your look.
Q: Will one Twilly cover both handles of a Birkin or Kelly? A: A single classic Twilly usually wraps one handle. To cover both handles on most sizes, you will generally need two Twillies. Coverage varies depending on your knotting method and how tightly you wrap.
Q: Can the colours transfer onto light leather handles? A: Silk of this quality is colourfast in normal use, but any dyed textile may transfer if it becomes wet or rubs repeatedly against very light leather. For best results, avoid contact with moisture, remove the Twilly in rain, let bag handles breathe between wears, and rotate or refit the wrap periodically.
Q: How should I care for and clean it? A: Avoid contact with rain, water, oils, perfume, and other chemicals. Store it flat or loosely rolled and untied, away from direct sunlight. If cleaning is needed, entrust it to a professional dry cleaner experienced with fine silk. For accidental spills, blot gently with a clean, lint‑free cloth—do not rub.
Q: Are Twillies hand‑rolled like carré scarves? A: Twillies typically have neatly stitched edges with pointed ends, whereas many larger Hermès carré scarves feature hand‑rolled hems. Both finishes are authentic for their respective formats.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the original box is included. If an item such as a dust bag or ribbon is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is this Hermès Twilly authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality, print, stitching, stamps, and overall workmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
