Thanks in advance
I hope to find some barenia items and would love an SLG if it holds up!
Congrats on your Barenia Calvi!
It's actually called Barenia Pop, not verso. 
I have this in a Bastia with orange poppy interior. 
Glad to see they're still making these as they were first launched back in 2016. 
Congrats on your Barenia Calvi!
Ah interesting
do you have to do something special to find them? I’ve never seen them at my home store or online.
Thanks for the info! How has your barenia Bastia held up so far?Congrats on your Barenia Calvi!
I was at my home store recently and asked my SA what colors the store currently had in Calvis and she opened up this drawer that I guess held all the store’s Calvi inventory and we found this Barenia Pop one in the drawer. They only had the one. It was so much fun to see so many different colors of Calvis all at onceAh interesting
So just ask your SA if they have any Barenia SLGs. You never know what’s tucked away. I always think walking into an Hermes store is like looking at an iceberg... so much is hidden beneath the surface 
. The information on TPF Has been invaluable to me as I build my H collection because I’ve found several times that asking my SA specific questions resulted in her pulling an item out that I would never have seen if I had just browsed what was on display. And I wouldn’t have known to ask if I hadn’t seen the info on TPF in the first place. So thank you again to all who post and so generously share their knowledge!
Does anyone know if the Calvi exists in verso with a Madame calfskin leather? I have so far only seen Epsom leather in verso but I find it too stiff.
I haven’t seen any Verso Calvis in Madame but I have a Verso in Mysore Goatskin (Celeste/Kraft), a Verso in Evercolor (Malachite/Bleu Atoll) and a Calvi Pop in Barenia (Fauve/Bleu Saphir). So there are alternatives to Epsom in Verso Calvis
Thank you that is very helpful. I just bought a Bastia in Mysore Goatskin, and although I find the leather gorgeous, I am worried that with a Calvi it will mould into the shape of the cards as the leather is quite soft. I am guessing I would have the same problem with Barenia and Evercolor leather?
Barenia is the softest of the 3 leathers in my Calvis but I just got the Barenia a couple of weeks ago so I can’t say from personal experience what will happen with prolonged use. But I’ve seen at least 2 different members post pics of their Barenia Calvis after more use and don’t recall seeing either showing the moulded outline of the credit cards. I’ve been using my Mysore for several months and have not seen any softening of the leather or remoulding of the leather to the contents so far.
For what it's worth, I have barenia calvis ( and bastias) . The calvis are both fauve ( smooth ) and the newer BF. Neither has "molded" to the shape of the cards inside, and both have held up beautifully. I would never be accused of babying my SLGs either!!
They are just the best (IMHO). Go for it and enjoy
I'm on the lookout for either ( both , who am I kidding) box and porc, so lets see.

I’ve been on the hunt for porc Calvi too. It’s on my wishlist with my SA. They made a few last year. I hope they make a few more this year.
If you don’t stuff your calvis full then cards are actually decently loose which makes it harder for the leather to mold around it.
I LOVE my porc Calvi. It was a pretty penny compared to chèvre, but totally luxurious in texture and the depth to the skin. Incredibly soft yet super durable.
I hope you track one down!
If you don't mind, could you post a picture- just so I can be insanely jealous? Thanks
