Box Calvi Card Case Black

The Hermès Calvi Card Case in Black Box Calfskin is a minimalist, architectural accessory renowned for its “origami-like” construction and high-gloss heritage leather. Named after the Corsican town of Calvi, it is an everyday essential designed with a clever interplay of leather folds rather than traditional stitching.

Core Design & Material

• Material: Crafted from Black Box calfskin, Hermès’ oldest and most iconic leather, known for its smooth, shiny finish and rigid structure.

• Texture & Feel: Box leather has a polished, ultra-smooth feel and a deep tone that develops a rich patina over time.

• Structure: Known as “boardy” in leatherworking, this stiff leather allows the Calvi to keep its shape exceptionally well over years of use.

• Hardware: Features a single, central snap closure (palladium), often accented with a “Clou de Selle” branded stud.

Specifications & Capacity

The symmetrical design opens to reveal two equal compartments for organization:

• Approximate Dimensions: Measures roughly 4.1″ L x 2.8″ H x 0.5″ D (approx. 10.5 x 7 x 1.3 cm).

• Capacity: Comfortably fits approximately 20 standard credit cards (roughly 10 per side), though it can also store business cards or folded currency.

• Origin: Handcrafted in France.
