If you’re familiar with this story, and have been following me along on Instagram, you would know that I have a special collection of {and connection to} these beautiful Hermes Samurai scarves. Ever since I got a hold of my own set, I had known I wanted to frame a few for a big wall in our home, & I knew exactly what sort of frame I was looking for! I was looking for someplace that could frame my scarves in acrylic, but because the scarves were large {38 x 38} I knew that might be expensive. With that being said, I knew I couldn’t afford the $600-$800 price tag per frame that so many frame shops quoted me, so I called {what felt like!} hundreds of shops until I found two shops willing to do the job for under $325!! Their information & details are below:
Bill’s Plastics – 2107 Sylvan Ave, Dallas, TX 75208
I found Bill’s Plastics through the girls at the Barbier-Mueller Samurai Museum. Bill’s has been working in acrylic for over 40 years and is known in Dallas for making the acrylic boxes and stands for all the local museums {think DMA, Perot, & of course – the Samurai Museum!} Bill charged us $295* a frame and did an incredible job. He was professional, kind, and worked very quickly – my scarves were ready for pick up in less than 1 week! The only downside is that his location is in a neighborhood I wouldn’t go to at night {if ya know what I mean} & there is no real storefront. BUT! Bill’s son himself said that 90% of the work they do is commercial, with clients like us only being a small part of their job so it makes sense to me that they wouldn’t really need a major storefront. *Note that I may have gotten this price from Bill due to the large number of scarves I was framing!
Decor Art & Frame – 5521 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206
I was introduced to Decor Art & Frame by Taelor Fisher who said their work was professional, & affordable. I have loved working with them so much {and found them to be both wonderful to work with and affordable!} that I have already had them frame two more pieces for me in the last month. While I was in there last, I asked them {out of curiosity} what they would charge to frame an Hermes scarf in acrylic and without skipping a beat they quoted me $325 – this is without negotiating! I couldn’t believe it. This offer was hundreds of dollars cheaper than other shops! Some plus sides to working with DA&F is that they are very centrally located, they have a store front, and they have a quick turnaround.
As you can see above, I recently had my very own frames hung in my home and I couldn’t be happier with the turnout! If custom framing isn’t for you, this DIY from Etsy seems like a great option! That seller has tons of options too if your scarf or art piece is a different size than mine.
If you have any questions on my acrylics frames don’t hesitate to reach out! Hope y’all are having a great week xx

Just found your post today, and it may be tha answer to my prayers! I have a scarf “collection”, some from my Mom and Aunt, some given to me. I want to decorate our home with these beautiful scarves, but have no idea how to do it ( I am NOT handy), and have not had luck finding anyone here on Nebraska to take this job on. Would you be willing to share any other ideas or insights with me so I can avoid a disaster? All advice is much appreciated!

Your collection is incredible! Did the framer give you supplies to hang them on the wall? Wondering how you hang an acrylic frame.
