Perfect for elevating everyday essentials, this Hermès Carmen tassel key ring lends a chic touch to your keys or handbag—ideal for daily errands, weekend outings, or travel. A thoughtful vintage gift that brings subtle luxury to any occasion.
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 materials is the Hermès Carmen Key Ring made from? A: The Carmen is typically crafted from soft Milo lambskin with a silver-tone (often palladium-plated) metal ring and is made in France. For the exact materials of this specific piece, please refer to the product information on this page.
Q: Can I use it as a bag charm as well as a key ring? A: Yes. Many owners loop the ring through a bag’s handle or hardware to wear it as a playful charm. To minimise rubbing, avoid constant friction against delicate leathers or hardware and consider using a small connector clip if you prefer quick on/off.
Q: What size is it? A: Dimensions can vary slightly by production run. Hermès lists the Carmen at approximately 11.5 cm in height; please refer to the Measurements section on this page for this exact item’s sizing.
Q: How many keys fit comfortably? A: The split ring suits a small everyday set of keys. To preserve the tassel’s shape and the ring’s finish, avoid overloading or attaching very heavy fobs.
Q: Is the ring engraved and how do I attach keys? A: The metal ring is typically engraved Hermès Paris and uses a classic split-ring mechanism—gently twist the ring to slide keys on. The tassel component is fixed and not designed to detach from the ring.
Q: How should I care for Milo lambskin? A: Keep it away from water, oils, inks, perfume and prolonged direct sunlight or heat. If it becomes wet, blot immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. Store in a temperate, dry place and allow it to rest between uses. For professional care, consult Hermès after‑sales service.
Q: Will the colour transfer or rub off? A: Light-coloured leathers can pick up dye from dark/raw textiles with repeated friction. Avoid prolonged contact with denim and similar fabrics, and store separately from items that may transfer colour.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. If a box or dust bag is not stated there, it is not included. For this piece, the product information notes no extras are included.
Q: Is the Carmen unisex? A: Yes. Its clean, minimal design works for anyone—use it to organise keys or to add a touch of colour to a favourite bag.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Each piece is rigorously examined by our specialists through multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, hardware and maker’s markings. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
