I'm not sure what I'd do with a hermes scarf! Probably buy it its own bed to sleep in. Do post a pic if you buy the one you have your eye on, it sounds glorious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098843 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 10:01:29 +0000 Staysfit 2098843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 3 Hermes scarves. &nbsp;I store them in the original boxes. &nbsp;They were folded when I received them, and they stay that way in the boxes and ha e been fine. &nbsp;I keep the rest of my scarves, most of them silk, in the pockets of an over the door shoe container. &nbsp;They are loosely folded or rolled. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098835 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 04:42:19 +0000 Suz 2098835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold/roll mine and store in fabric boxes. I don't own anything as precious as a Hermes, but my silks don't seem to suffer from this treatment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098831 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 04:14:08 +0000 Gretchen 2098831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold mine and hang on pant hangers on the same rail as dresses.

I have a number of lovely silk scarves. I’m always on the lookout for scarves at consignment store and have had great success over dying them by hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098682 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 14:05:55 +0000 Janet 2098682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do a sort of combo fold/roll, depending on the scarf’s size and thickness. Then they are “filed” in fabric storage boxes in an armoire — Similar to the Marie Kondo video. The boxes work almost like removable shelves. Yes, I have a lot of scarves. Hope you share a photo of the Hermès! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098680 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:37:04 +0000 Sisi 2098680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not like folding, if I could I would not fold anything. I think&nbsp;that a hanger is a good idea.&nbsp;My method:&nbsp;I roll the scarf&nbsp;around my hand, then slip it&nbsp;off and put the "roll" in an old tin cookie box, without the lid, in a drawer. This way I can see them all in one go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098677 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:20:57 +0000 April 2098677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the Hermes silk, what about hanging it on a velvel slim hanger?&nbsp; They are genius at holding slippery items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098675 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:12:35 +0000 Katerina 2098675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I store mine folded in shallow IKEA drawers. I have many silk scarves I have owned for more than 20 years and they are in excellent condition - I don’t think the folding has made any damage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098614 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 01:38:34 +0000 Angie 2098614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check out how Maria Kondo does it.

My closet is a 100 years old. There will be no storing of scarves unfolded... Altho I suppose conceivably, I could hang them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098594 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 00:07:31 +0000 Carla 2098594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not going to be much help, because I say wear it - don’t store it!</p> <p>I store my (few) scarves folded, but not folded small IYKWIM in a drawer that has very little else and where there is lots of room. &nbsp;But if I have the scarf in rotation, I just drape it over a hanger under a coat, in my front closet - because I’m likely to wear it every day. &nbsp;A Hermes scarf is #bucketlist - but I’m still playing with thrifted silk scarves ATM.</p> <p>Please post pics of your Hermes pets, MsMaven. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storing-scarves-especially-silk#post-2098591 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 23:51:06 +0000 MsMaven 2098591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you store scarves flat? How do you store them so you can see them?</p> <p>So I've been perusing the Hermes website. I bought my first an only Hermes scarf in the late '80s after our first trip to Europe--mainly Paris. It seemed like every woman over 30 had a draped Hermes scarf to wear with her neat little suit. But I digress. I bought a scarf here after we got back and had it for years.</p> <p>I've wanted an Hermes panther or tiger scarf for a while, but the colors weren't quite right. I may have found one. The care instructions say store flat, without folds. I don't have a cupboard or drawer big enough to lay a scarf flat, especially if it it 36 x 36. Right now I have mine draped over non-slip hangars in my closet, least folds manageable, where I can see them.</p> <p>My dermatologist advises me to wear a scarf around my neck, especially in summer. Too much sun exposure in back and I never seem to get the sunscreen spread out enough. So I also have a growing collection of smaller square cotton scarves and bandanas. I keep them folded once in a drawer for now.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I get the scarf that is calling to me, I'm not sure how I can store it. </p>
