Ideal for wedding receptions or smart summer events, this vibrant Hermès silk pocket square brings a refined splash of colour to a blazer’s breast pocket. At 20 cm, it’s perfect for a crisp fold or soft puff, elevating formal and semi-formal looks with vintage charm.
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 how is this size best worn? A: It measures approximately 20 × 20 cm, which is ideal for a blazer’s breast pocket. The compact size also works as a subtle wrist wrap or tied to a bag handle, but it is not designed for adult neck wear.
Q: Which folds work best for a 20 cm silk pocket square? A: Simple folds prevent bulk with this compact format. Try the presidential/flat fold for a crisp line, a soft puff for a rounded look, or a two‑point fold for a little height. Adjust depth so only 1–2 cm shows above the pocket for a neat finish.
Q: How should I care for Hermès silk? A: Avoid contact with rain, water and cosmetics, and entrust cleaning to a professional dry cleaner experienced with fine silk. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store it flat or lightly folded, away from direct sunlight, and handle with clean, dry hands to preserve the colour and hand‑rolled hem.
Q: What do hand‑rolled edges mean? A: The edges are rolled and stitched by hand, giving a slightly rounded finish. Because this is handcrafted, tiny variations and minor size differences are normal and part of the piece’s character.
Q: Is this unisex? A: Yes. A silk pocket square is a timeless unisex styling piece that complements tailoring across wardrobes and occasions.
Q: How do you authenticate it, and what are typical Hermès hallmarks? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by specialists using multi‑point checks of fabric, print quality, stitching, stamps and finishing. Typical Hermès hallmarks include dense silk twill, hand‑rolled hems that roll toward the front, fine matching thread, and crisp printing. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: It is graded Very Good with a light trace of use. Please review the photos and product information for full details; any notable imperfections are documented there.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a shop card is included. If you need clarification, our team is happy to help.
