What are the standard dimensions of an Hermès carré silk scarf?

The standard dimensions of an Hermès carré silk scarf are 90 by 90 centimetres.

“Carré” means “square” in French, and the 90-centimetre format became the best-known size for Hermès silk scarves. The house introduced its first silk scarf, Jeu des Omnibus et Dames Blanches, in 1937. Although Hermès now produces scarves in multiple sizes and shapes, the 90-by-90-centimetre carré remains the classic reference.

Hermès scarves are known for detailed printed designs, hand-rolled edges, and silk twill construction. A single design can involve many colours and a lengthy production process. The square format allows the artwork to be displayed in different ways when folded or tied.

The term carré can cause confusion because it describes the square scarf format, not one particular print. Hermès also sells larger shawls, narrow twillies, and other silk accessories. Therefore, the answer refers to the standard classic carré rather than every scarf made by the company.
