Hello everyone,
I’m seeking insight into the possible era and history of a vintage Hermès Carré 90 scarf I recently purchased.
The design is *“Les Clés (The Keys)”*, with a white base and bordeaux tones.
What’s puzzling is that the scarf has:
- A small white care tag marked “100% SOIE” (typically seen in scarves from the 1950s–60s), and
- A © copyright mark printed directly in the design (commonly appearing in the 1970s–80s)
This combination of early-style care tag and later-era copyright makes me wonder:
- Was this scarf produced during a transitional period?
- Or could it be reconstructed or altered at some point?
I previously posted this question in the scarf authentication thread, but was kindly informed by a moderator that it did not fit that category and should be asked elsewhere.
I’m not necessarily asking for authentication here—rather, I’m hoping to learn whether others have seen similar combinations, and to better understand how Hermès care tags and copyright marks have evolved over the decades.
Thank you so much for your time and help. I’ve attached photos for reference.
