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 large-format Hermès silk twill scarf set with artisanal accordion pleats (plissé). This vintage piece measures approximately 70 × 140 cm and features the multicolour Route 24 motif in light blue, gold and green.
Q: How does pleating affect the way it wears and measures? A: The listed 70 × 140 cm is the nominal size; pleating adds texture and a gentle stretch, so the scarf appears narrower and lengthens slightly when styled. As with all hand-rolled Hermès scarves, dimensions can vary a little. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: How should I clean a pleated Hermès silk scarf? A: Avoid contact with rain or water and do not wash. Entrust the scarf to a professional dry cleaner, ideally one experienced with luxury silk and pleated textiles. Store it untied when not in use to preserve the silk and print.
Q: Can I iron or steam the pleats? A: No. Heat and steam can relax or flatten plissé permanently. Do not iron or press the scarf; if the pleats soften slightly with wear, correct storage will help maintain their shape.
Q: How do I store it to keep the pleats crisp? A: Keep it away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. To preserve the pleats, loosely roll the scarf around a clean cylinder and place it into a round box, or coil it gently without weight on top. Avoid hanging for long periods or compressing it under heavy items.
Q: Can the pleats be restored if they relax over time? A: Pleats may soften with regular wear. Availability of re‑pleating through Hermès can vary by location and season; some clients use specialist pleating ateliers. We recommend consulting your local Hermès boutique or an expert pleater before proceeding, as timing, cost and results can differ.
Q: What is the Route 24 motif about? A: Route 24 is a contemporary Hermès design by Elias Kafouros celebrating travel and discovery, with playful references such as a horizon reflected in a helmet and nods to journeys by horse or motorbike.
Q: How can I style a 140 pleated scarf? A: Wear it draped as a lightweight stole, looped at the neck, tied as a headscarf, threaded through belt loops, or styled as a chic top. The pleats add grip and texture, making knots hold beautifully.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information notes that it comes with a box; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Each piece is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of silk quality, print precision, hand‑rolled edges, stamps and labels. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further details or photos on request.
