Q: Is this scarf vintage, and what condition is it in? A: Yes, this is a vintage piece. This particular item is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use, so you can expect gentle signs of previous wear consistent with age while still enjoying a very presentable overall look.
Q: How should I care for a vintage silk Hermès scarf? A: Hermès advises against washing scarves at home and recommends professional cleaning by a dry cleaner. It is also best to keep silk away from rain, as moisture can affect the printed finish.
