The apricot has my vote- it was on again briefly last week when the website went live, I hesitated and it was gone..phooey. I will live vicariously through you ( whichever you keep!)
Ooh I love the pink! @skybluesky has that one I think? I have the smooth Barenia Calvi with Poppy interior and I wish they made smooth B with pink inside
Yup, I have the one with pink! I think both are beautiful, but I'm a sucker for pink (which @peonies13 knows too well!) so I'm voting for the pink interior. But I think both are beautiful. Can you keep both?!?!
Hi cj, keep both!!!
They are gorgeous and there is nothing wrong with a spare, as you may never find these beauties again
Thank you everyone for the feedback! I think I am going to keep the apricot and return the pink for another Calvi in a bright color Mysore goatskin.
oh gosh I would LOVE a smooth Barenia Calvi! The Poppy interior sounds like such a perfect match.Ooh I love the pink! @skybluesky has that one I think? I have the smooth Barenia Calvi with Poppy interior and I wish they made smooth B with pink inside
The pink one actually was my first purchase and it’s such a lovely color. I would keep both but I’m on the lookout for a Calvi in smooth Barenia or a bright color in goatskin.
I was very tempted to keep both, but ultimately decided that I’d love a bright color Calvi (perhaps pink) In addition to a Barenia one.Hi cj, keep both!!!

LOL. Of course you'd suggest keeping them both you Calvi addict you (ah-hem, not that I should talk!!)
If you post a picture of it, we could likely help you identify the leather. I’ve seen them come in Chevre, Epsom, Evercolor, Swift, Madame, Barenia, and exotic but they are all individually priced by leather type so that is also a clue. I’d guess the receipt listing is just another one of Hermes’ sub-par technology accidents.I have a calvi in vert vertigo and on the receipt, the leather says veau aleatoire. I looked up literal translation, and aleatoire means random. Is the calvi really in a random leather? Just curious.
Thank you for indulging my curiosity. I don’t own anything in the same grain to compare it to. Maybe it’s evercolor?

That does look like evercolor to me!
I feel like I’ve seen aleatoire being named in certain SLGs; I am not sure exactly what H uses it for. Sometimes it’s like “aleatoire veau xxx” where xxx is the actual leather. For example I can find the following via Googling (the actual link is no longer active though). On the other hand, would not be surprised if it’s just yet another mistakes of H.com!
Yeah this was what was on the receipt. The calvi is very pretty though and leather is very beautiful, I might have to ask for a bag in one!
