The Hermès Calvi Card Case in Celeste Epsom Leather is a minimalist, envelope-style accessory celebrated for its sleek design and durable, scratch-resistant finish. Named after the Corsican town of Calvi, this card holder is crafted from a single piece of leather folded and secured by a single snap closure.
Core Design & Material
-
Material (Epsom): A heat-pressed, machine-printed calfskin leather introduced in 2004. It is highly valued for being scratch-resistant, water-resistant, and its ability to hold a rigid, structured shape over time.
-
Color (Celeste): A fresh, vibrant light blue that serves as a popular accent shade in the Hermès palette. In Epsom leather, the color remains deep and uniform due to the embossed grain.
-
Hardware: Features a single palladium-plated silver snap closure.
-
Construction: Symmetrical design with two internal card slots created by clever leather folds.
Specifications & Utility
-
Dimensions: Approximately 10.5 cm L x 7 cm H x 1.3 cm D (roughly 4.1″ x 2.8″ x 0.5″).
-
Capacity: The main pockets can comfortably hold 4 to 7 cards, and one side can be used for folded bills.
-
Hand: The leather has a dry, firm feel and is initially stiff, though it may soften slightly with extended use.
