Hello! I have just inherited two Hermes scarves that were purchased in Paris in the late 60's early 70's. How can I find out information about them. They are even in their original boxes! Help!

hi - i'm very new to hermes scarf collecting and living in U.K - I call it collecting, well not really - just have one vintage Brides de Gala bought from eBay, hope to treat myself to a new one from Hermes in Bond St. anyhow i just wondered if there are any hints and tips to scarf cleaning, how to get rid of make-up and yellowing crease lines etc. all info would be welcomed, also maybe its me and maybe i'm not a scarf person although i so want to be, but does anyone wear the little pocket scarves, are they easier to tie around the neck as this Brides de Gala seems very large and i dont quite know how i will tie it. thanks again.

Hi - me again... if i washed my scarf would you iron it flat or fold it to give it creases? thankyou.

There's lots and lots of info on cleaning scarves on this board, please use the search function.
I wouldn't IRON creases into the scarf (can hurt the silk threads) but I would steam them in. Whether you want to do that or leave them flat, is a personal preference.

Vintage scarves - with ironed in creases - tend to have holes at the creases

I would iron it flat and fold into a square

I thought it would be interesting to post pics of a 35+ year old scarf I bought on eBay. I got the thumbs up on Authenticate This (thanks Seton!). The errors aren't ghastly as a whole but when you see the comparisons of the "good" side and "bad" side, it's kind of startling! I still love the scarf. Another fun fact - the scarf was so filthy when it arrived that I immediately hand washed it. I was so disgusted with all the dirt, stains and dried crud on the scarf (the seller stated it was in very good condition - maybe with beer goggles on!) that I gave up and threw it loose in the washing machine. I was fully prepared for it to be ruined but it came out quite fine. No runs of any kind! I even managed to plump up the flat ironed hems (ugggh) by rolling them between my thumbs and fingers. Enjoy!
