Thank you for a fun and very inspiring week @HermesEchidna, it's always great to see our scarves in a new light and learn something in the process! And thank you @Cookiefiend for the poetic introduction to doubles week!
I have two 90 DFs that I love and normally take with me when travelling, but I managed to escape the cold North and am currently vacationing in Bali, where it's way too hot and humid to wear any scarves, let alone two. I brought along a few twillys though (that I can wear for about 5 min.), so took a quick mod shot earlier. The Savana Dance twilly is not officially a DF, but it does have two distinct sides and is the closest I'm going to get to being on theme this week.

I so wish I could have made this DF work for me @frenchgirl-- the blue side is so stunning. Congratulations!
Thank you @GloWW0rM -- it was a lesson taught by the relative limitations of the scarf "notebook" I use for travel, which has eight slots. So for longer trips, the DF scarves are great: one slot, two sides, many options! And thank you -- the colors of the Etriers Remix GT remind me of you with the strong green and blue colors!
Ah, thank you! She does seem to love any kind of craft-play @bunnycat, though a glue stick is a bit of a peril around a scarf!You've got your small craft partner started beading right!
We are twins @Awillow-- count me in the "love it" crowd and I especially love it with your window pane flannel shirt! And I think I even remember your post about this lucky pre-pandemic purchase!I have three doubleface scarves. All were bought the week before the pandemic while I was at a conference in Chicago. (I hate to think what that says about me!Loathe to do anything by halves!)
At any rate, here is one - C'est la Fete - a scarf it seems people love or hate(If they had had @lanit 's orange/blue, I would own four!)

What an awesome leap o'leopards!
And what a great idea for travel... one that I've never thought of!
Thank you @Cookiefiend and @Snausages-- I am definitely up for a double gav option but I tried double 90s only once before and felt a bit engulfed-- that's even more silk than a 140!
I love the double twillies @Snausages and definitely adding that to the repertoire-- I have so few I will be struggling for a match as pretty as this one!
Thank you on all counts @Jereni!
This is a spectacular gav combo @Cordeliere-- really really great colors together! And your sunny gav is just the right Vitamin H during the cold mid-winter...
Thank you so much @Croisette7-- and I do believe my grand-little has a promising future in jewelry design
How lovely on powder blue @SilkCouture-- I had this cw firmly catalogued in my mind as "autumn-warm" or "summer-bright" but this looks quite serene and spring-like!
It looks particularly fetching in @blydia's ever-so-useful Rando Knot @Pirula-- delighted to be twins!
Please don't get rid of either gav @Nomad! They look amazing together. Now if only I could remember how I did this...but I do think you need a moyenne CdA or one of the lightweight large ones... but I love both your ties here!I am cleaning and organizing ye olde bedroom and scarf drawers on this freezing Sunday. Turtleneck on even inside my home today!
I was trying to cull one of these gavs, but alas it proved impossible with this darn doubles week!!
I really like the two together.
I was trying to do @LKBNOLA ’s double gav look with the ?butterflywings tie? n chain d’ancre scarf ring. But I only have this tiny one or a really heavy one which would be too heavy for gavs. And I couldn’t get enough scarf through the small hole.

You look lovely and cozy @balthis and what's this about not being good with selfies? I think you aced it!
Those charming and fun cats have a way of weakening resolve @Meadi! I am living proof...
That's a beautiful green border @HermesEchidna and super great earrings!
Oh my -- @violetkool-- this is truly wonderful on you! As for make-up -- smart to think about the tie-- FWIW, my rule is scarf goes on after the tinted moisturizer and before lipstick!
Oh how wonderful does Bali sound when it is 18 degrees outside @LeneCPH! You look wonderful and so does the twilly for its five minute cameo appearance! I hope you have a marvelous and relaxing vacation.Thank you for a fun and very inspiring week @HermesEchidna, it's always great to see our scarves in a new light and learn something in the process!

First wear of my new double face Sous le Charme d’Orphee today. Lookin forward to a relative heat wave this week!
I am solo grand-parenting today (and scarf-less at the moment having just managed school drop-off) but I wanted to weigh in on the discussion between @Redbirdhermes and @textilegirl on the nature of the DF format not being a "true" double in most cases. It is often the case that the two sides are the same design exactly but rendered in monochrome or limited colors but there are quite a few where the "other" or B Side, if you will, adds some elements. I am thinking of Pani Le Shar where one side is a bandana rendering, while the other is blue and in particular, Hermes Factory, where the one side is vignettes and the other is a "color-block" version that almost seems like a dip-dye. So while it is not as markedly different as @Redbirdhermes' example, here are archive photos of both sides of Factory...

At least it wasn't make up!
Wonderful introduction, Cookie, and great examples. I also want to thank @HermesEchidna for her terrific hosting, information and many examples.
I have doubled up on gavs but I am not so sure they were very successful pairings. Sangles and Pegase Pop - like.
Forceds de la Vie and Baobab Cat - hmmm…
Tapis Persans and Pique Fleuri de Provence - ok
I just love this, RBH! It’s gorgeous with your sweater.
I’m fully prepared to cut H a little slack for artistic vision, but I think if there’s any writing on the scarf, including the house name and artist’s signature, it should be rendered properly. I know there have been several Della Cav iterations, and I’m away without my scarf at hand, but I particularly remember the figures and writing being exactly rendered in different colors and legible on each side as this was the subject of a lengthy discussion with my SA. What I’m less fond of is where it seems very little of the scarf design is reversed, and there’s simply a different color wash through which can be seen the ‘A’ side design in reverse. (I hope that makes some sense.) What’s so marvelous about @Redbirdhermes’ Formule Chic is that it’s a completely different design. That is certainly worth the price of admission in my estimation but I’m not convinced regarding, for example, Tapis de Selle. https://assets.hermes.com/is/image/...rf-90--904040S 02-flat-wm-5-0-0-800-800_g.jpg.
I actually like them all @Karenska and I think the size is what makes them successful. I’m not sure the same combos would work as well with two 90s. Of course that’s what this week is all about!
ETA: I agree, the Tapis/Fluerie combo is especially good!
Thank you so much, Textilegirl, I appreciate the feedback. I agree that it’s probably easier (at least for me) to wear two gavs or ‘danas than two 90s.
I honestly think that Sangles works with almost everything, which is probably why the design keeps popping up. And your two florals in matching colorways are perfect together. I was going to say that the different scales made the Forceds/Baobab problematic, but then I recalled my purchase last fall of my Sangles en Zigzag Fleuries maxi twilly, and I eat my words.
This is further proof that Sangles goes with anything.
All your combos are lovely, @Karenska.
Responding to you and @Lellabelle, I got this Alternateur solely because of the blue side, it is exquisite. I know this has been discussed before, but the sad reality is one is highly unlikely to fall in love with both sides of a DF. Hermes has this perverse habit of creating DF scarves for two entirely different skin tones. The only exception for me was Orphee, where one side is total magic and the other mostly tolerable but wearable.
IMHO the Tapis Persans and Pique Fleuri de Provence pairing is fabulous. Looking at the part closer to your neck, they almost look like the same scarf. Your sweater is the perfect backdrop. Well done. I had wanted a Pique Fleuri de Provence gas and kind of got over it. You have re-kindled my silk lust.
I'm wearing my double face Le Jardin des Peintres today. I purchased this scarf because I liked the cyclamen color on the B side, and it was my favorite design of the S/S 2023 season with cyclamen.
This is a variation of what @LKBNOLA was discussing with her Hermes Factory, where the back is also vividly colored. With Peintres the design on the front has been rendered in a more graphic format, instead of a finesse style with a solid color overlay. Like many Hermes design variations, I suspect that this alteration was done by in-house designers. For example, in-house designers are certainly at work on the many new scarf designs that Hermes produces that are attributed to the long-departed Hugo Grygkar.
Here is an archive photo with my preferred B side showing.
Here is my scarf of the day photo of Le Jardin des Peintres with the A side out. I do find that having a beautiful color on the back of the scarf means I spent less time fiddling with it to keep the back from showing. Who would want to hide the cyclamen??

Lovely cw - the naughty bees are my favorite part of this scarf too - it amuses me so much!Hi @Karenska, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and colleague. It's such a sad thing, one that I experienced twice in the past 2 years. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.
Life keeps getting in the way of my scarf fun so I'm just now getting you this pic, my apologies for the delay. Here's my Objects de Curiosites, which I absolutely adore, especially the bee border (mostly the naughty bees who wander). I've really enjoyed wearing it lately with a purple top, I like the contrast with the hem.

Fabulous! Definitely a double, maybe even a double double... I laughed twice, and two giraffes = awesome sauce!
It's beautiful!!
wow - what a gorgeous look and thank you for sharing it with us!Thank you for a fun and very inspiring week @HermesEchidna, it's always great to see our scarves in a new light and learn something in the process! And thank you @Cookiefiend for the poetic introduction to doubles week!

I just love this cw, it's beautiful!
So interesting! They do look so different!
I feel that Sous le Charme d’Orphee is very different too, each side is completely different colors (though there are some of each side's colors on either side)... now I'm going to have to go home and really look at my DSs!
I think they're all marvelous, even BC because who wouldn't want a sweet kitty snuggling up regardless of color?
I do especially like the last pairing tho!
Yes yes yes - Sangles does go with everything!
Another giggle at having to eat your words... H Magic strikes again!
