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 material of this Hermès Twilly? A: This is the classic Twilly format, measuring approximately 85 × 5 cm and crafted from 100% silk twill. It is made in France and features a multicolour equestrian print with a yellow base and purple and orange accents.
Q: How can I wear or use a Twilly? A: Twillies are extremely versatile. Popular uses include wrapping a bag handle, tying as a slim neck ribbon, wearing as a wrist bracelet, styling as a hair ribbon or headband, or adding a bow to a hat or ponytail. You can also tie it around a belt loop or use it as a decorative bow on small accessories.
Q: Will one Twilly cover both handles of a Birkin or Kelly? A: One classic Twilly typically wraps a single handle on most Birkin and Kelly sizes. To cover both handles, you usually need two Twillies. Coverage can vary by knot style and how tightly you wrap.
Q: How should I care for and clean a silk Twilly? A: Avoid contact with water, oils, and cosmetics. If cleaning is needed, use a professional dry cleaner experienced with fine silks. Blot accidental spills immediately with a clean, lint‑free cloth—do not rub. Store it flat or loosely rolled, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Can I iron or steam the Twilly to remove creases? A: Yes. Use a cool iron on the silk setting and press through a thin cotton cloth. Alternatively, steam lightly from a short distance. Avoid prolonged direct heat on the edges and do not press hard to prevent shine marks.
Q: Will the colours transfer onto my bag handles or clothing? A: High‑quality silk dyes are designed to be colourfast, but any dyed fabric can transfer if wet or subjected to friction. Ensure your bag handles are clean and dry before wrapping, avoid heavy rain, and allow the Twilly to dry fully if it gets damp. Rotate and occasionally remove the wrap to let leather breathe.
Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès Twilly? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly examined by our in‑house experts. We review silk quality and hand‑feel, print precision, labels and markings, stitching, and compare details with verified references. Scarves and Twillies do not carry serial numbers; label styles can vary by season and era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What does the condition grade mean for this piece? A: This Twilly is in very good condition with light traces of use. You can expect minor signs such as faint creasing or a subtle pull typical of careful wear. Please review the photos for the exact state.
Q: Are any accessories included with this Twilly? A: This listing is sold without accessories. If items like a box, ribbon, or care card are not listed under Accessories, they are not included.
Q: How can I prevent snags or pulls, and what should I do if one occurs? A: Keep the Twilly away from sharp jewellery, zips, and rough surfaces, especially when wrapped on a bag handle. If a pull happens, do not cut the thread; gently massage the fabric around the area to even out the tension, or consult a specialist in silk repair.
