Hermès Calvi card holder
The Calvi is a Hermès card holder measuring 7 × 10.5 cm, sold online in three versions: the Calvi, the Calvi verso and the Calvi Duo Compact, the only one with a listed depth, 1.3 cm. UK prices run from £345 for a Calvi in Epsom calfskin to £730 for a Duo Compact in printed Swift calfskin.
What is the Hermès Calvi
The Calvi is a flat card holder, not a bag or a wallet. All three versions share the same 7 × 10.5 cm outline, and the French store lists the Duo Compact as a porte-cartes, a card holder. Hermès gives a depth only for the Duo Compact.
The range of materials is what separates the versions. Seven leathers appear on Calvi listings: Epsom and Evercolor calfskin, Mysore and Chamkila goatskin, Box calfskin, Barenia Faubourg, and Swift calfskin printed with the Habits de Cour Roi, Dame and Valet designs. The French store also lists a Duo Compact in Madame calfskin. Hardware is palladium plated.
Calvi versions and sizes
| Model | Dimensions, cm | Dimensions, inches |
|---|---|---|
| Calvi Duo Compact | 7 × 10.5 × 1.3 | 2.8″ × 4.1″ × 0.5″ |
| Calvi verso | 7 × 10.5 | 2.8″ × 4.1″ |
| Calvi | 7 × 10.5 | 2.8″ × 4.1″ |
Calvi
The plain Calvi is the least expensive way into the line: £345 in Epsom calfskin in the UK, €352 in France, $460 in the US and ¥70,400 in Japan. In the UK Evercolor costs £385, Mysore and Chamkila goatskin £410 each and Box calfskin £480. It measures 7 × 10.5 cm, with no depth given by Hermès. Its product name carries no version word, so its online appearances count in the line total rather than in a version row.
Calvi verso
The Calvi verso has the same 7 × 10.5 cm outline. It has been listed in Mysore goatskin and in Epsom and Evercolor calfskin, but the only official price we have is for Mysore: £410, €416 or $540, exactly the same as the plain Calvi in that leather. In our records the verso appears online far less often than the Duo Compact.
Calvi Duo Compact
The Calvi Duo Compact measures 7 × 10.5 × 1.3 cm and has the widest spread of materials and prices. In the UK it costs £480 in Epsom calfskin, £530 in Mysore or Chamkila goatskin, £540 in Barenia Faubourg or Evercolor, £660 in Box calfskin and £730 in printed Swift calfskin. In France the Epsom version costs €489 and the Madame calfskin version €510. Thirteen of the fifteen colours confirmed for the Calvi were recorded on the Duo Compact.
Hermès Calvi prices
Version and leather set the Calvi's price. In Epsom calfskin the Duo Compact costs £135 more than the plain Calvi in the UK; in Box calfskin the gap is £180, and in Mysore goatskin £120. Japanese prices exist only for the Calvi in Epsom and Mysore and for the Duo Compact in Mysore. Each country sets its own tax-inclusive price, so the figures do not convert neatly.

Calvi leathers and colours
Hermès describes Mysore goatskin as having an irregular grain made by boarding, rolling the leather against itself, and says it becomes more supple and satiny over time. Box calfskin, in the collections since 1920, is smooth and glossy, sensitive to scratches at first, and develops a patina. Chamkila goatskin has a small, very smooth and ultra-shiny grain.
| Leather | Appearance | Feel | Over time | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mysore goatskinsince 1990 | Irregular but harmonious grain; slight shine that reveals all the natural features of goatskin | Fairly dry; softens with time | Becomes more supple and satiny | duo, verso |
| Epsomsince 2004 | Small, regular and slightly glossy grain; uniform; deep colors | Dry, with a slightly "up and down" grain | Keeps its shape, scratch-resistant. The grain fades in areas exposed to a lot of contact or rubbing | duo, verso |
| Evercolorsince 2012 | Satiny; small, regular grain obtained by printing | Grain more visible than that of Evergrain calfskin | Softens and becomes shinier | duo, verso |
| Boxsince 1920 | Smooth and glossy; deep tone; long, fine grain | Polished and ultra-smooth | Delicate; sensitive to scratches at first, acquires a beautiful patina; the glossiness fades; keeps its shape | duo |
| Swiftsince 2004 | Almost smooth with a delicate shine; lightly marked grain that is sometimes hardly noticeable | Soft and tender | Becomes even more supple | duo |
| Chamkila goatskinsince 2018 | Small and irregular but harmonious grain | Small grain almost imperceptible to the touch | High propensity to develop a patina | duo |
| Barenia Faubourgsince 2016 | A minuscule printed grain which reproduces a drum grain | Waxy; velvety | Acquires a patina like Barenia; darkens in the most exposed areas | duo |

How to buy a Calvi
Online at hermes.com
All three Calvi versions have Hermès online product pages. Card holders are listed without notice, the same as bags, and a given leather and colour can sell out quickly, so seeing a listing early matters.
In a Hermès boutique
Small leather goods are part of boutique stock, which varies by store and by day. Buyers commonly report that a card holder is easier to find in a boutique than a bag, but Hermès publishes no rule about it.
On the resale market
Calvi card holders are resold and copied like bags. Buy from a reseller that authenticates each piece, and with retail prices starting at £345, check any second-hand price against the table above.
