From Fashion to Fine Art: The Vintage Luxe Up Philosophy
Where Craft Meets Conscious Design
Hermès scarves are meant to be displayed, not stored away. Our framing process turns these delicate silks into estate-quality art that preserves their design, history, and technical skill.
Almost 50% of U.S. adults have art in their homes, yet Hermès scarves stand out with their illustrated silk compositions from one of the world’s most admired luxury houses. A framed Hermès scarf joins fashion heritage with stronger interior design impact.
At Vintage Luxe Up mix design, sustainability, and purpose to set high standards for modern luxury and to create some of the best framed scarf art available today.
A Legacy of Taste and Vision
Vintage Luxe Up was founded in 2020 by industry veteran David Altman, whose decades in luxury retail, including Hermès and Neiman Marcus, shaped a philosophy that "doing good and doing beautiful can coexist."
The brand is rooted in curating beauty responsibly: preserving textiles, supporting artisans, and giving new life to heirloom silks.
Sourcing Authentic Hermès Scarves: The First Step in Preservation
Authenticity at the Core
Each Hermès scarf we frame is independently authenticated through reputable dealers and collectors. Only pristine, verified vintage silks are selected so the final framed Hermès scarf meets museum-level standards.
Variety Second to None
Our collection includes scarves ranging from 10" to 42", and each chosen for its beauty and rarity.
Beyond our in-stock collection, we specialize in custom commissions are completed within a few weeks; thus, customers can perfectly match the piece to their environment, whether they need a dramatic fireplace focal point, a big sofa centerpiece, an elegant hallway installation, or a grouping of small scarves in a gallery-style arrangement.
Sustainability in Every Choice
Sourcing from secondary markets not only helps us to minimize textile waste but also to support luxury in the circular mode. Each framed Hermès scarf extends the life of heirloom silk that might otherwise be discarded: saving water, dye, and energy that new textiles would require.
Crafted by Local Artisans
All framing is done in our hometown of Lexington, Kentucky, supporting local craftsmanship and preserving traditional artisan techniques. This local production ensures quality and reduces environmental impact.
Giving Back Through Beauty
Ten percent of full-priced sales are donated to verified charities. Each framed scarf becomes not only a collectible but a contribution to the greater good.
Behind the Frame: Our Artisan Process
Each framed Hermès scarf undergoes a museum-quality framing process executed by master artisans.
Step 1: Inspection and Selection
We examine every scarf for condition, vibrancy, and composition. Our artisans determine the most striking layout to highlight motifs and color, ensuring your finished piece will shine in any placement, from fireplace wall to curated hallway gallery.
Step 2: Silk Preparation
Scarves are professionally cleaned, gently pressed, and prepared using archival techniques that maintain the silk's natural drape and luminosity.
Step 3: Hand Mounting with Archival Precision
We use custom mats and reversible hand-stitching, never adhesives, to protect the delicate silk weave. This method ensures breathability, longevity, and reversibility.
Step 4: Custom Framing
We select from custom gilt wood, silver gilt, and specialty moldings chosen specifically for each scarf's palette and personality. Every frame is unique; no molding is used twice.
Step 5: The Finishing Touch
Framed in our Lexington atelier, each piece is handcrafted, individually numbered, signed, and ready to hang.
Display and Care: Keeping Your Framed Scarf Timeless
Ready to Hang, Ready to Admire
Hermès scarves are remarkably versatile as wall art. Their color, texture, and storytelling make them suitable for countless styling possibilities:
-
Over a Fireplace
Larger scarves (32 "–42") create a bold, dramatic centerpiece worthy of the room's focal point.
-
Over a Sofa
Medium sizes add an elegant pop of color or pattern to balance furniture lines.
-
In Hallways
Smaller and mid-size scarves turn narrow spaces into curated gallery paths.
-
Groupings / Gallery Walls
Designers often create collections of two, three, or six framed scarves to form visually compelling grids or asymmetrical installations. Silk adds a soft luminescence that flat artwork can't replicate.
Preservation Tips
-
Keep your framed scarf out of direct sunlight.
-
Dust gently with a microfiber cloth.
-
Professional cleaning of the glass is recommended for long-term clarity.
