Help Build a Timeline for Hermès Scarf Labels!

Hello everyone,

I’m working on a new section for the Scarfsage website, dedicated to tracking the evolution of Hermès scarf labels over time.

If you have a vintage Hermès scarf, I’d greatly appreciate your help! Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • A clear photo of the label
  • The approximate time period it’s from (if you know)

Your contributions will help create a timeline that will be a valuable resource for anyone trying to date or learn more about their Hermès scarves.

Thank you !

Best regards,
Baptiste

Yay - a great idea to build a database of labels!
So I dig out all my vintage (pre 1980s) carres, camera poised eagerly… and I find that not one single scarf still has the label. I can’t believe it.
As a poor substitute, here are a range of labels from a range of dates from mid 1990s to mid 2000s. I’m 100% sure of the date in each case. Most were acquired when in either the UK or the US - there may well be label differences depending on national labelling regulations which I suspect become more detailed in recent times.

No, I forgot about a very elderly Brides de Gala - if it is correct that this design was not reissued before 2015, then this is definitely a 1957 original - its fragile and supple enough to be that old.
It has just one small label. It is carefully sewn into the rolled hem, and looks to me that it was integral / original to the scarf:

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks so much for sharing detailed pictures of label! I really appreciate it. I’ll start working on the label timeline page.
