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 Carré 90 “Carpe Diem” silk scarf? A: It is a classic 90 x 90 cm Hermès square scarf crafted from 100% silk twill with hand‑rolled edges. This vintage piece features the multicoloured “Carpe Diem” motif in blue and complementary tones, offering a refined, collectible finish.
Q: What does “Carré 90” mean and what are the exact dimensions of this piece? A: “Carré” is French for “square.” The Carré 90 typically measures around 90 x 90 cm; slight variances can occur due to the hand‑rolled hems. This specific scarf is listed at approximately 90 x 90 cm—please see the measurements and photos for confirmation.
Q: Is this scarf unisex and how can I style it? A: Yes—Hermès carrés are worn by all genders. Fold it into a triangle and knot at the neck, wear it as a headscarf or bandana, wrap it as a belt, or tie it to a handbag handle for a personal touch. It can also be draped over shoulders or styled as a chic hair accessory.
Q: What material is it made from and where is it made? A: It is made from 100% silk and labelled Made in France, consistent with Hermès scarf craftsmanship.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑owned item? A: The scarf is in Very Good condition with a light trace of use. Please review the detailed photos and condition notes to understand the specific signs of wear.
Q: Does this listing include a box or any accessories? A: No. This item is delivered with no accessories. Everything included is shown and described in the listing.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès silk scarf? A: Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Keep silk away from rain, water, perfume and hairspray. Store it flat or gently rolled, out of direct sunlight, and avoid leaving it tightly knotted to prevent creases.
Q: Can I iron or steam it to remove creases? A: Yes—use a cool iron on the silk setting and press through a clean pressing cloth, avoiding direct pressure on the hand‑rolled edges. A gentle, short burst of steam from a distance can help relax folds; allow the scarf to dry and cool flat.
Q: Will the colours bleed or transfer? A: Printed silk can be sensitive to moisture and friction. Avoid getting the scarf wet and minimise rubbing against dark, unwashed denim or richly dyed leather. If it becomes damp, blot gently with a soft cloth and let it dry flat away from heat.
Q: Do Hermès scarves have serial numbers or date codes, and how is authenticity assessed? A: Hermès scarves typically do not have serial numbers or microchips. Authenticity is evaluated through the silk quality, print precision, hand‑rolled hems, the “Hermès Paris” signature within the design, and era‑appropriate care labels. A Retro Tale performs rigorous multi‑point authentication on every piece we sell.
