I purchased my first Calvi. Waiting for the arrival. I had my heart set on a Chanel irridescent card holder (which I had already purchased). But knowing this finish doesn’t wear well over the years, I decided on a Calvi in Mysore. I tend to keep my items for years and wanted something that would hold up with time. The Chanel went back!

Many members have shared on this thread the various things they store in their Calvi aside from cards. Feel free to do a search or have a read through. ;)

thanks, I’ve both searched and read through most (though admittedly not all) of the thread and most of the suggestions involve storing things (eg tissues, headphones, etc) that still involve carrying the holder in a purse on a daily basis rather than using it in a lower wear-and-tear part of one’s life (like at home or on a desk). I’m really looking for the latter kind of idea

also, it’s a 51 page thread and “low impact calvi uses” is hardly the main topic... I think it’s more than reasonable to ask the question directly and solicit specific ideas rather than read the entire thread front to back

Hi everyone,

I know this is not the best forum to ask, but i have a dilemma.

Louis Vuitton Watercolor Multicolor Pocket Organizer (it has yet to release) - 295 Euros
or Personalized Calvi Electric Blue/Swift Leather/Rose Pourpre. - 326 Euros

It will be my forever cardholder. I am female, young and love colors. Like multicolor in strategic goods. Electric Blue shade from Hermes is my favorite color. From Hermes i like the quality. From LV probably the hype? That the PO would be a hot item and more people would want it, and as it's not personalized it would hold resale value if i decide to part with it. (I mean in the extreme case i would like to sell it)

I want it to last me a couple years. I am careful with my items and treat them right. But truthfully without being too partialized to one brand or the other what have you noticed with both per your experience. I want it to be my go to/forever cardholder that i always like while seeing it.

Also, does anyone has a Calvi Rose Pourpre interior photo that can share? Better if its on the Swift leather. I want to appreciate the vividness of the colors. I have seen the Electric Blue Swift in video and i think photo, and i like it. What i don't know is how the Rose Pourpre looks like in Calvi. Also - btw what do you think about that combo?

It totally depends on how you want to use it! Seeing as you mentioned it will be your forever cardholder, I’m assuming it will be your daily go to. If you plan on using it exclusively for cards and cards only I would go for the H.
If you plan to also use it for cash notes (like a small wallet to use in a mini bag) I would go for the pocket organizer! It’s a lot more practical to use in my opinion, because it has multiple different slots.
I do recommend to go for what you really like and will love for years to come! Don’t get caught in the hype, just cause something is a hot item :)

that color combo will be beautiful! But swift for every day would make me a little nervous, to be honest, although I’m not the most careful with my things

Two neutral beauties in my collection:

Calvi Black Epsom (A Classic!)
Calvi Gris Mouette Epsom (Purchased yesterday - wonderful surprise from my SA)

Can anyone advise if there will be risk of colour transfer with GM on denim? I am conscious whether I need to be a bit more careful with this piece. TIA

Now on the hunt for a pop of colour or that elusive Calvi in Barenia/Box.

I'm thrilled for you! I LOVE this one ( and hate to not use it, to the point that I now use 2 calvis at a time- just so I can give all equal time out!). Have a wonderful time getting that patina going.:yes:

Thank you. My SA was laughing at how excited I was when she pulled this one out of the drawer :yahoo:
