FAQs

General

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the series and format:

Archival Portrait, $500 to $950
Archival Square, $400 to $850
Open Series, $290 to $470

The scarf is not included in commission pricing. Add-ons (brand logo, design extension) are priced separately. See Commission for full details, or begin an inquiry for an itemized quotation.

How long does it take?

Archival Series commissions are assembled and sealed by hand, five to seven weeks from payment and receipt of the textile.

Open Series pieces ship within one to two business days when in stock. If a color or size isn't currently available, it's a pre-order, arriving in four to six weeks.

Shipping within the United States adds four to five business days, insured.

How do I book a consultation?

About Your Scarf

Do you work with all scarf brands?

Yes. We work with scarves from a range of brands, from luxury maisons and independent designers to personal heirlooms. If it holds meaning to you, we can frame it.

ACRYLAÉ STUDIO is an independent framing studio and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any textile brand or fashion house. Any brand names referenced on this site describe the textile a client has brought to us and do not imply a business relationship with that brand. All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

What scarf sizes do you accept?

We work with a range of scarf sizes, with 70 cm and 90 cm being the most common. We also accommodate Pocket Squares (45 cm), Shawls (140 cm), and other sizes. Please inquire during your consultation for custom sizing options.

Can you source a scarf on my behalf?

Yes, sourcing is available upon request. For scarves currently available through brand boutiques, we can assist with purchase at no additional sourcing fee.

For limited editions and archived seasons, we source through trusted resale channels, with a sourcing fee based on the rarity and value of the piece. Details are discussed during your consultation.

Is my scarf safe while in your care?

Absolutely. Every piece is handled with the utmost care from the moment it arrives. Upon intake, we record an unboxing video documenting the condition of your scarf.

For clients who would like additional traceability, you may choose to apply your own discreet identification method prior to sending the piece, such as a small mark on the care tag or another area of your choosing. Your piece remains yours, from start to finish.

Will my scarf be altered or damaged in any way?

Your scarf will not be cut, trimmed, or permanently altered in any way. It is mounted using acid-free, archival-grade materials that are specifically designed for delicate silk fabrics, ensuring the piece remains preserved and protected for the long term.

About Design

What is a design extension?

A design extension brings the scarf's print beyond its edges and onto the frame itself. Custom patterns are applied to the front and back panels of the frame, extending the composition across the entire piece and transforming your framed scarf into a cohesive, mixed-media work of art. The result is something entirely its own: part textile, part sculpture, part heirloom.

Can I be involved in the design decisions?

Every commission is guided by our studio to ensure a balanced, architectural result. For popular scarf designs, we offer a curated selection of pre-designed layouts for you to choose from.

For fully custom commissions, you are welcome to share your vision and preferences, and our designer will develop a proposal for your review. You may also provide your own design artwork if you have a specific direction in mind.

Ordering & Delivery

How do I send my scarf to you?

Once your consultation is confirmed and payment is received, we will provide a prepaid, insured shipping label for sending your scarf to our studio. Please pack your scarf securely, ideally including the original box, and drop it off at your nearest carrier location.

Complimentary pickup service is available for certain areas within Los Angeles. Please inquire during your consultation.

When and how do I pay?

We begin with a complimentary consultation to understand your piece and vision. Once we've aligned on the direction, full payment is required to proceed with design and production.

We accept all major credit cards. A secure payment link will be sent upon confirmation of your commission. All prices are subject to applicable sales tax.

As every piece is custom made for you, we are unable to accept returns or issue refunds once the commission has begun.

What if my piece arrives damaged?

Every piece is carefully packaged and shipped with full tracking and insurance. In the rare event that your piece arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of both the packaging and the piece. We will review the case and arrange repair, replacement, or an insurance claim as appropriate.

What do you recommend for hanging hardware?

Each frame arrives ready to hang, with hanging hardware included for ease of installation. For smaller frames, standard screws are typically sufficient. For larger or heavier pieces, wall anchors and professional installation are strongly recommended.

Professional on-site installation is available as an optional service for clients in select Los Angeles areas.
