HK Hermes TPFers - where to dryclean your H scarves?

[zenith]

As above. Do you go to a special dry-cleaner or a normal dry clean shop like Clean Living would do? TIA

Zenith I can't help you with an HK dry-cleaner but you can wash scarves at home. It's not difficult and the results are excellent.

If you do choose to dry-clean make sure they know not to press the hems. Your local H should be able to recommend someone. HTH

zenith! Spill!!

 

[zenith]

Nothing to spill, Ms P! I have a couple of twillies that needed cleaning. You will be one of the first to know if I bought anything significant.

I was so excited for you, thinking you have finally come over to the silky side!

 

[zenith]

Thanks Handybags. Those pictures are not for the faint-hearted!!

^ I know - but it's OK. I promise. And CobaltBlu wouldn't lie.


Well not about scarves

OK - I confess. I just bought the Chasse en Inde silk mouselline pochette from one of the Jap ebay sellers. So I've officially moved up the scale from twilly to pocket squares.

I haven't decided if the larger scarves are really my thing but I think we officially turned autumn weather-wise this weekend and I'm dreaming of a cashmere GM shawl - but that has to wait a bit. ush:

I may try with one of the older twillies just for the heck of it.

 

[Handybags]

Good idea. Helps to get your confidence up. I must admit to never having washed my white scarves myself. Just haven't got them dirty enough yet. But the darker ones and the cashmeres - no probs.

 

[ms piggy]

I have yet to clean any of mine. Am seriously contemplating now - hand wash or dry clean.

 

[Handybags]

MsP - be brave.

I like handwashing I really think it gives a fresher result and I don't like the chemicals on my silks. I don't even like the perc-free ones.

Maybe just do one and see how you feel???

Pretty! I so wish I am living in a four seasons' climate. I have always love cold weather. The boots, the coats, the gloves, ahhhh.... and the cosy-ing up near the fire place...

 

[ms piggy]

Hmm, I think I might just try out with a Twilly and see. I too do not like the dry cleaning chemicals on silk.

LOL fire place... does not exist in HK. But I think I get what you mean. When DH and I visited a friend in a cute little town called Gams in Switzerland, they had a real fireplace. It was snowing outside and despite that, we had an afternoon BBQ and cosied up in the living room. The night after, everywhere was snow covered and everyone simply snow boarded down the slopes and we went snow walking. It was definitely surreal for a summer city girl like me.
