It’s amazing how a few pleats
Can transform the whole look
Just based on the bounce alone, Hermes Plisse (or pleated) scarves are some of my favorites. And if you don’t know what I mean, watch the tutorial above. Let’s talk about how to find them and some details to look for.

How Can I Buy an Hermes Pleated Scarf?
Pleating Service
Hermes used to give you the option to pleat your scarves and this is probably my favorite service that has been discontinued in the early 2000’s, however it is still available as a “request service” today. Your silk scarf will be sent to Paris and can take 4-6 weeks.
2. In Store as of Spring/Summer 2023
In Spring/Summer 2023 Hermes brought back the pleated silk scarf in the form of “Eleftheria” pleated scarf 140. And in Spring/Summer 2024 offered the “Twilly au Bloc” pleated scarf 90 as their second offering of a pleated option.
5. Second Hand
At the moment there are many Hermes pleated scarves on the secondhand market and pricing usually lands within the $100-$300 range depending on condition.

How Do I Maintain the Pleats on an Hermes Pleated Scarf?
I find the pleats quite easy to maintain as long as:
Kept away from moisture or too much humidity
Stored in the box with the pleats evenly spaced
Do not tie it too tightly for too long or it can damage the pleats
