That’s good considering they tell you 8 weeks when placing the order. I’m getting really excited now. My card has now also been debited (with a saving of £12.00 using my UK card on the French website!). Fingers crossed my delivery will be as fast!I ordered on 6th October so just under 3 weeks![]()
Your color selection is beautiful! I want one exactly like yours!

I just learned today that personalisation existed. I'm shocked to say the least. France has some colors, not Casaque, Vif, or Shocking though.Please! Rouge Casaque, Rouge Vif, Rose Shocking!?!

Thank you, Lostinlondon. I already saw these colours so I thought they had added some of the colours JazzyMac mentioned in her post.
Hi and welcome to the H world! I have all of the leathers that you mentioned in calvis. All of them scratches because if you put them in your purse, it will scratch with whatever is in your purse (in my case it's my H bearn compact wallet that always goes together with the calvis). Epsom is very tough but the scratches show and scratches don't disappear when you try to buff with your fingers. Mysore and chamkila are both chevre, they are very prone to dents so you have to be careful with it being under anything heavy that could dent. The dents somehow disappear too if you "train" the leather back. Also, I can buff scratches with my fingers and often just disappears. Evercolor is somewhat similar to chevre but the leather is not as soft. A gold in evercolor would be a good choice. I have one in gold and I love it, I just forgot which leather.Hi. I'm new to the Hermes world. I have been wanting a calvi in a brown color for a while now and I'm finally ready to take the plunge. But which leather type is the best for the calvi in that color? On the website I can choose between Epsom, Mysore, Evercolor and Chamkila atm.
I've read that the Epsom is the most hardwearing but that it's also difficult (if not impossible) to salvage if it gets scuffed. And although I do like my SLGs to look pristine for as long as possible, I don't mind a pretty patina and softer leather with time. Looking only from the website my favorite texture/color might be Evercolor in Gold but is Evercolor prone to scratches? I hope some of you can help me with the decision![]()
Lol, no was just making fun. The European sites have 30 to 40 colors and color combinations (non-personalized), and USA has five or six colors.Thank you, Lostinlondon. I already saw these colours so I thought they had added some of the colours JazzyMac mentioned in her post.
