An elegant finishing touch for brunch, gallery openings or after-work drinks, this navy-and-white Hermès Eperon d'Or Bandana silk Twilly can be tied on a bag handle, worn as a hair ribbon, or knotted at the neck for refined, effortless style.
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 this Twilly? A: It measures approximately 86 x 5 cm and is crafted from 100% silk twill with pointed ends. As with all pre‑owned pieces, measurements may vary slightly—please refer to the Measurements section on this page for exact figures.
Q: What does the Eperon d'Or Bandana motif refer to? A: It blends Hermès’ classic equestrian Eperon d’Or elements (such as bits and stirrups) with a Western‑inspired bandana look, incorporating paisley and dot details for a graphic, versatile style.
Q: How can I wear a Hermès Twilly? A: Popular options include wrapping a bag handle and finishing with a bow, tying it as a slim neck scarf, using it as a hair ribbon or headband, or wearing it as a bracelet. Its slim, elongated shape is designed for easy styling on both leather goods and outfits.
Q: Will one Twilly cover a Birkin or Kelly handle? A: Yes—one Twilly typically wraps a single handle. To cover both handles of a Birkin or Kelly you will usually need two Twillies. Adjust the tightness and position as you wrap to keep the ends even and secure.
Q: Does a Twilly help protect bag handles? A: Yes. Wrapping handles with a Twilly helps reduce contact with skin oils, lotions and dirt, which can slow visible darkening or wear on leather handles. Remove and rewrap periodically to allow the leather to breathe and to check for any trapped moisture or debris.
Q: How should I care for Hermès silk Twillies? A: Follow the care label; Hermès silk is typically dry‑clean only. Avoid rain, perfumes and direct heat. Store rolled or laid flat in a cool, dark place (the box is ideal). For light creases, use a cool iron on the reverse with a pressing cloth or ask a trusted specialist to steam. Do not rub stains; blot gently and seek professional care if needed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This pre‑owned Twilly comes with a box as listed under Accessories. If an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: What is the condition of this Twilly? A: Very good pre‑owned condition with light traces of use. Minor creasing or slight pulls typical of gentle wear may be present; please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: Is this piece authentic? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality, print clarity, stitching, labels and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: What is the colourway of this Twilly? A: Navy and white as shown. Please note that colours may vary slightly depending on screen settings and lighting.
