Q: How should I care for a vintage cashmere and silk Hermès scarf?
A: We recommend gentle handling and specialist dry cleaning when needed. Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the fabric, keep it away from rough jewellery or sharp fastenings, and store it flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Q: What should I do if the scarf gets a pull or snag?
A: Do not cut the thread. Cashmere and silk blends can be delicate, so it is best to handle the area as little as possible and consult a trusted textile specialist or luxury dry cleaner for advice on restoring the fabric safely.
