Hey all! I just recently purchased and received my Calvi cardholder in Epsom leather (my first Hermes purchase!) and I noticed something so I thought I’d try tPF community for some advice: I have noticed that the item is puffier on the side it opens versus the folding side when it’s empty (see pic) and I’m not sure if this is normal behavior or if I should exchange it...(in the reveals I have seen on youtube they seem to be consistently thick)

Completely normal, especially in Epsom which is a bit sturdier than some of the other calvi leathers. There is more material on the open end due to the folds of the leather. It will probably flatten out with use. Congrats!
 
I kinda went a bit nuts just before the h.com shut down because of the pandemic. :amazed: I saw a bunch of colors I didn’t already have and decided why not since I wouldn’t be doing any shopping for the next few months. I didn’t see any ostrich or box leather Calvis listed so I’ll still be hunting for examples of those leathers when things open back up. The rose jaipur I ended up putting with the reds. It just didn’t seem to belong with the pinks.83B34B40-FCD9-417C-88CD-14A589D545B5.jpeg B212BBA7-53E2-43C5-B8EC-D6C7DC041BC3.jpeg 5BF5E747-3AAD-4F61-BF70-466B2205592B.jpeg CCB2DA4B-B306-43EA-9C06-FBB94AF09C1D.jpeg 7496D4D8-E88A-44F8-8549-9AD8119ABFC4.jpeg 8A10E543-CE89-4451-8B0A-3C4B9EA28C76.jpeg 9D11C9B7-6A6F-4B53-84AC-89E31F51BC34.jpeg 21327FF2-FA94-4735-9692-DB495D6AD6C0.jpeg

I literally gasped out loud when I saw this. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
 
Amazing calvi collection! I've never seen so many colors all together no matter what boutique I'm in. Is there a color you don' t have?
Yes there are at least 3 colors I don’t have that I spotted on the US h.com after the deadline had passed for shipping. I also don’t have standard colors like etoupe. I decided to go after the brighter colors then work my way over to the neutrals later. Plus with each season as new colors are introduced, at least some of those colors will show up in Calvis. Like Bleu Brume and vert Criquet are new this year. So there will always be more colors for me to chase.

Amazing collection! Thank you for posting them with all the colour/leather details. Enjoy them all - I would not be able to pick a favourite.

I thought that I was bad! I pale behind as I have half of your collection. Can you tell me what zipped up container you're using to put these? Such a great idea to organize these beauties.
