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 fabric of this Hermès Carré 90? A: The Carré 90 measures approximately 90 × 90 cm and is crafted from pure silk twill with hand‑rolled hems. It is a versatile square designed to drape beautifully and hold a knot well.
Q: What is the “Reprise” design? A: Reprise is a classic Hermès equestrian motif by artist Philippe Ledoux, first issued in 1970 and reissued in select years. It typically depicts riders and tack arranged in a rhythmic composition—timeless and highly collectible among Hermès aficionados.
Q: Is this piece vintage and where was it made? A: Yes. This is a vintage Hermès silk scarf made in France. Please refer to the Condition section on this page; this item is graded Very Good with light signs of use.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This scarf comes with a box. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included.
Q: How can I style a Carré 90? A: The 90 cm square is exceptionally versatile—wear it as a neckerchief, headband, ponytail wrap, belt, bag handle accent, or fold it as a simple halter. It also looks elegant draped on the shoulders or tied in a classic French knot.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Absolutely. Hermès carrés are worn by all genders; styling comes down to personal preference.
Q: How do I care for a silk twill Hermès scarf? A: The safest option is professional dry cleaning with a trusted specialist. Some collectors hand‑wash at their own risk; if you choose to do so, use cool water and a silk‑safe detergent, do not wring, dry flat, and avoid exposing the rolled edges to direct heat. Always spot‑test first and minimise cleaning frequency.
Q: Can I iron or steam it to remove creases? A: Yes—steam lightly from the reverse or iron on the lowest silk setting with a pressing cloth, working from the centre out and keeping clear of the rolled edges so they remain plump. Allow the scarf to air and rest flat after wear to reduce wrinkling.
Q: How can I check authenticity features on an Hermès scarf? A: Look for hand‑rolled hems that are rolled towards the front with fine hand stitching, crisp screen‑printed artwork, and (on many designs) the artist’s signature within the print. Care labels and printing quality should be consistent with Hermès standards. A Retro Tale performs multi‑point authentication on every piece and stands behind its authenticity.
Q: Will the colours match the photos exactly? A: We strive for accurate photography, but colours may vary slightly due to lighting and screen settings. This piece features a white and red ground with multicolour Reprise detailing.
