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 an Hermès Carré 90? A: The classic Carré 90 measures approximately 90 × 90 cm (about 35.4 × 35.4 inches) and is crafted from 100% silk twill. Because the edges are hand‑rolled, a few millimetres of variation is normal from scarf to scarf.
Q: What is the Fleurs & Raisins design and who created it? A: Fleurs & Raisins translates to Flowers & Grapes. The motif is attributed to Christiane Vauzelles and was first issued in 1981. It features abundant florals and grape clusters, often arranged with cornucopia details—an ode to harvest and abundance.
Q: Is this scarf vintage and where was it made? A: Yes—Fleurs & Raisins is a vintage Hermès design dating to the early 1980s. This piece is made in France, as is standard for Hermès silk carrés. Please see the Country of Origin and Condition details on this page for specifics.
Q: How can I wear a Carré 90? A: The 90 is exceptionally versatile: fold on the bias for a simple neck knot, style as a headscarf, transform into a chic halter or bandeau top, tie at the waist as a belt, or wrap a bag handle. Its generous size allows countless knots and drapes for all seasons.
Q: How should I care for and clean an Hermès silk scarf? A: Avoid contact with water, rain, perfume, and cosmetics. Store it flat and untied, away from direct light. For cleaning, Hermès recommends professional dry cleaning, taking care around the hand‑rolled hems. A specialist cleaner familiar with Hermès scarves is advised.
Q: Can I hand‑wash an Hermès scarf at home? A: While some collectors do hand‑wash at their own risk, Hermès advises against washing and recommends trusted professional dry cleaning. If you choose to hand‑wash, be aware this may affect colour, finish, or the rolled hems and could void care guidance from the maison.
Q: How can I tell if an Hermès scarf is authentic? A: Look for hand‑rolled hems that curl toward the print side, crisp and finely spaced stitching, rich silk twill with sharp register in the print, the Hermès Paris marking, and the designer’s signature within the artwork. As designs span decades, labels and stamps can vary by era—buy from reputable sellers. At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
Q: Why might measurements differ slightly from exactly 90 cm? A: Each scarf’s edges are rolled and stitched by hand, so small variations in size are expected. This artisanal finish is part of the charm and a hallmark of Hermès quality.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this specific piece, no accessories are included—feel free to contact us if you would like confirmation or additional photos.
