Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Hermès 140 Pleated Silk Scarf? A: It is a vintage Hermès scarf crafted from pleated silk (often called “Plissé”), featuring a multicolour ornate print. This piece is made in France and offers a textured, lightweight drape that adds dimension to any look.
Q: Is it square or rectangular, and what are the measurements? A: This specific scarf is rectangular and measures approximately 140 cm x 70 cm. Because of the pleating, dimensions are approximate when the fabric is fully relaxed.
Q: How does a pleated (Plissé) scarf differ from a standard flat carré? A: The Plissé has permanent accordion pleats set into the silk. The pleats add texture, elasticity and a sculptural drape, so it ties and falls differently from a flat scarf. It also requires more careful storage and heat avoidance to maintain the pleats.
Q: How should I store a pleated Hermès scarf to preserve the pleats? A: Roll it loosely rather than folding it flat. If you have a cylindrical form, wrap the scarf around it and coil it into a circle before placing it in a box or breathable pouch. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and pressure.
Q: Can I iron or steam a pleated silk scarf? A: Avoid ironing or steaming, as heat and moisture can relax or flatten the pleats. If the scarf becomes lightly creased from wear, allow it to rest rolled in a cool, dry place rather than applying heat.
Q: How do I clean a pleated silk scarf? A: Professional dry cleaning by a specialist familiar with pleated silk is recommended. Do not soak or machine‑wash. For minor spots, gently blot with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from heat—do not rub, wring or press.
Q: Will the pleats soften over time, and can they be restored? A: With wear, humidity and heat, pleats may gradually soften. Availability of re‑pleating services can vary by period and location; please check with your local Hermès boutique for current options. A Retro Tale does not perform re‑pleating in‑house.
Q: How can I style a 140 pleated scarf? A: Try it draped as a stole, looped once around the neck, knotted as a chic head wrap, or tied at the waist as a sash over dresses or tailoring. The pleats add volume and texture without weight, making it versatile from day to evening.
Q: Is this scarf unisex? A: Yes. The elongated 140 x 70 cm format and the dynamic pleats make it a stylish, gender‑neutral accessory that can be adapted to many wardrobes.
Q: What is included with this pre‑owned item? A: This listing is marked “no accessories,” so an original box, ribbon or booklet is not included. Please review the photos and description for the exact inclusions and condition.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: A Retro Tale performs rigorous multi‑point checks on every piece, reviewing silk quality, print definition, labels and finishing details to ensure authenticity.
