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 is the Hermès Clou de Selle motif? A: Clou de Selle is one of Hermès’ most recognisable house signatures, inspired by the saddle nail used in the brand’s equestrian heritage. It gives this pin brooch a distinctly Hermès look while remaining refined and understated.
Q: What size is this brooch? A: This piece measures approximately 7 cm in length, 1.5 cm in width and 0.5 cm in depth. Its slim stick-pin shape makes it easy to wear as a subtle accent rather than an oversized statement piece.
Q: How can this brooch be worn? A: It can be styled on a blazer lapel, coat, scarf, knitwear, hat or dress. Its elongated pin shape also works well for adding a polished vintage touch to tailored looks.
Q: Can it be used to secure a scarf? A: Yes, this style can be worn on scarves as well as jackets. For best results, use it on fabrics with enough structure to support the pin comfortably, and fasten the end cap carefully before wearing.
Q: Is it suitable for delicate fabrics? A: Extra care is recommended on delicate materials such as fine silk, chiffon or open knits, as the pin creates a puncture point. Structured fabrics such as wool, cashmere blends, denim and suiting usually provide a more secure hold.
Q: What condition is this vintage brooch in? A: It is listed in very good condition. The hardware remains shiny and shows light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with no additional product information included. If a box, pouch or authenticity card is not listed on the product page, it is not included with the brooch.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, clean cloth after wear and store it separately in a dry place. Avoid direct contact with perfume, cosmetics, chlorinated water, salt water, humidity and excessive heat, and remove it before exercise, swimming or household cleaning.
Q: How do you authenticate this Hermès brooch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by experts using detailed checks of construction, finish, signatures, hardware and overall design consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of the vintage items we offer.
