The Hermès Calvi Verso Card Case in Bleu Frida and Cuivre Chèvre Mysore is a vibrant, dual-toned accessory that showcases the house’s “Verso” concept featuring one color on the exterior and a contrasting shade on the interior. Its minimalist, “origami-style” design is crafted from a single piece of leather folded and secured by a single snap.
