Hermès Silk Twilly

Q: What size is this Hermès Silk Twilly?
A: This piece measures approximately 85 x 5 cm, which is the slim, ribbon-style format Hermès Twillies are known for. It is designed to be easy to tie around bag handles, the neck, the wrist or in the hair.

Q: How can I wear a Hermès Twilly?
A: A Twilly is one of the most versatile silk accessories. It can be styled around a handbag handle, tied at the neck, worn as a hair ribbon, wrapped around the wrist, or knotted as a small accent on a ponytail or hat.

Q: Can this Twilly be used to wrap a bag handle?
A: Yes. Twillies are commonly used on handbag handles both for decoration and to help reduce direct contact from hand creams, oils and everyday wear. Whether you use it purely for style or for added protection is entirely a personal choice.

Q: Do I need one or two Twillies for a handbag?
A: That depends on the look you want. One Twilly is often enough for a single handle, a decorative knot or an asymmetric styling detail. If you want both top handles wrapped in a matching way, you would usually need two.

Q: Will this size fit every bag handle?
A: It suits many top-handle and smaller structured bags, but the exact fit depends on the handle length, thickness and the wrapping style you prefer. On shorter handles it usually wraps well; on larger bags it may work better as an accent tie rather than a full handle cover.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: This Hermès Silk Twilly is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. As this is a vintage or second-hand silk accessory, minor signs of previous wear should be expected and are part of its character.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This item is listed with no accessories. Any inclusions are shown in the product information, so if an original box, receipt or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.

Q: How should I care for a silk Twilly?
A: Silk should be handled gently. Avoid rain, water, perfume, oils and other chemicals where possible. When not in use, store it flat and untied, and if cleaning is needed, professional dry cleaning is the safest option.

Q: Is this an authentic Hermès item?
A: Yes. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity before sale. When buying second-hand Hermès, buyers typically look at silk quality, finishing, print clarity, construction and overall consistency, and this piece has been selected accordingly.

Q: Is each Hermès Twilly design the same?
A: No. While the format is consistent, Hermès releases Twillies in a wide variety of prints and colour combinations. This piece is listed as multicolour, making it easy to use as a small statement accessory or to add contrast to a neutral bag or outfit.
