What is the standard size of Hermès’s classic carré silk scarf?

The standard size of Hermès’s classic carré silk scarf is 90 by 90 centimetres.

The French word “carré” means square, and the 90-centimetre format became the signature size of Hermès’s silk scarves. A carré can be worn around the neck, folded as a head covering, tied to a handbag, or arranged in other ways.

Hermès introduced its first silk scarf in 1937, and the format became one of the house’s most recognizable products. Each design is printed on silk and is associated with an illustrator or artist, while the borders and detailed color work are central to the finished appearance.

Hermès also produces scarves in other sizes, so not every Hermès silk scarf measures 90 by 90 centimetres. The answer refers specifically to the classic carré format, not the company’s entire range of silk accessories.
