The Hermès Epsom Verso Calvi Duo Card Case in Alezan and Vert Peppermint is a highly practical and distinctive “compact” or “mini” wallet. This specific model belongs to the “Verso” line, meaning it features a dual-color design with contrasting interior and exterior leathers.
Core Design & Materials
-
Material (Epsom): A machine-printed calfskin characterized by a fine, regular grain and a semi-glossy finish. It is highly favored for its rigid structure, scratch resistance, and ability to maintain its shape over years of use.
-
Verso Colorway:
-
Alezan (Halzan): A warm, reddish-brown tan that typically serves as the primary exterior color.
-
Vert Peppermint: A bright, energetic green used for the interior pockets, providing a bold visual contrast when the case is opened.
-
-
The “Duo” Difference: Unlike the standard Calvi, the “Duo” features two different internal compartments: one open credit card slot and one flap pocket with a snap closure.
-
Hardware: Features a palladium-plated silver “Clou de Selle” snap closure.
