Dear all,

I have recently been gifted a Calvi and whilst I don't doubt its authentic it doesn't have a stamp on the inside. I don't have another to compare it to so just wondering if an epsom calvi should have a stamp.
Thanks

I am interested in the Calvi but not for credit cards and dollar bills.

I use my Compact Constance wallet for those items since it has so much room.

What I need is the “lightest smallest” SLG to use for my department store percentage off coupons. Some are like a charge card size and others are cut small from paper.

Do you think the Calvi is a good choice for this?

What kind of item do you use to store your coupons?

Thank you!

Is the biggest coupon you tend to have the size of a credit card? As long as you don't mind folding up the bigger ones, then a calvi can definitely be the way to go, or possibly a bastia. I'd recommend going into a store and trying them out!

I use my calvis for cash (might switch to a bastia for that), cards, insurance cards, receipts, eyeglasses wipes, so many random things.

Yes, I will fold the bigger thin paper coupons to fit.

I have been watching videos on u-tube and it looks like they have lots of room.

From your thoughts, I think the Calvi will work nicely for me.

Thank you so much for your reply :heart:

You can compare it vs the ones on the hermes website. There are a lot of epsom calvis listed.

@skybluesky @pillsandpurses @PJW5813 After waiting on this order, it's finally here - so excited! My Barenia Calvi Pop with orange poppy interior :smile: That barenia smell is no joke - so luxurious!

So... I realize I have more Calvis than I can logically use (I really love them, I can't stop myself!). So taking a poll: what besides cards/cash do you use your Calvi for? The more creative the better!

Gorgeous calvi! I’d love a barenia one. I tend to use a Moynat envelope pouch (passport size) for cards and cash now so my calvi holds an emergency wrapped (skinny type) sanitary towel on one side and a very small folded plastic bag (that fits my small umbrella when wet so I can pop it in my bag), a sealed hand wipe (the type you get from KFC) and a tissue in the other. I just pop it into any bag I take out for emergencies!

Good call! I use one of mine as a daily "kit" too - on one side I keep 2-3 bandaids, 2 individually packaged alcohol hand wipes and 1 flat-packet of travel floss. On the other side I keep 3 tiny ziplocks: one with advil/tylenol, another with tiny nail file (so it doesn't scratch thing), and the third with other meds and couple of oil blotting sheets folded in quarters tucked behind the meds. In the fold of the calvi I tuck a travel size tweezer-style cuticle nipper. I posted photos back on this post here if anyone wants to see.

Would love to know what else others carry / use Calvis for :) I might use one of my spares for receipts, but that seems so bland :)
