What's a Calvi duo verso? Is this new? It is like the attempt of a Calvi+Bastia? Why the flap so the cards don't fall down to the other side? Sorry i am trying to picture the functionality of @Sanae gorgeous new Calvi (and nice cat too

I’m not a fan of Epsom tooHi girls!
What is in your opinion the most luxurious Hermes leather for a Calvi or Bastia? Is it Chamkila, Evercolor or Mysore?
And which one like an Hermes collectionist/hardcore fan would find more exotic?
I'm not a fan of the Epsom and when i was at the store really quick i noticed that i disliked Epsom a lot and that i liked Evercolor more than Swift leather. It was really quick so i couldn't get hold of Chamkila/Mysore. There was a previous post who told me the differences which i appreciate a lot and i just wanted to know what was your pick of you Hermes fan of leathers other than Epsom.
I disliked Epsom because for me it felt like cardboard. I don't know, it felt cheap (i beg your pardon). I prefer softer things to the touch and when i could compare for example Epsom to Evercolor, it was no contest for me. Evercolor team more than Epsom.
Also which one of the leathers does colors look more vibrant?
and is it possible to use a Calvi as a Bastia too? Like decide if you want to keep cards or coins, while the Bastia because of size can't hold cards. Sorry for all the questions, hopefully with all your help i undertstand better which combo/materials to choose if i go for a Calvi or Bastia in the near future. The store is not in my city so more or less the first feedback i got is from you guys and when i get to the store i will have a better idea of my likings.
I really loved Box leather for Calvi and Bastia 
it looks so luxurious, is soft to the touch but still enough stiff. unfortunately, this skin does not come in many colors, mainly black, I also saw one Calvi in dark red Box (I think it was Rouge H, but don’t remember well). I posted photos of my Calvi in black Box here on page 50

Thank you Miss Dolly
, basically the additional compartment with a snap buttoned flap helps to secure contents such as coins, small jewelleries, pills etc whatever you’d like to carry
I think @momoc is likely correct that the folks at H.com were just careless with their photoshop re-colorings of various verso colorways. I would expect the outside of the coin flap to always be the exterior/main color and the inside of the coin pocket to match the inside of the other half/card slot. Beautiful combo though!
Yes, the Calvi Duo is a brand new release that is just starting to hit the websites and boutique shelves. It’s a good substitute for carrying a Bastia and Calvi together, especially if you plan on fewer cards in the Calvi.What's a Calvi duo verso? Is this new? It is like the attempt of a Calvi+Bastia?

If you like leathers that becomes softer and softer, I'd say Mysore or Evercolor.
The exotic of exotics is an exotic... there's an electric blue croc in this thread that is just to die for.
If you want coin AND cards, check out the new Calvi Duo which we've been discussing these past few days, it's a Calvi with a coin pocket, so definitely the answer to the Calvi lover's dreams in my opinion

Calvi Duo?!
Had not heard of this until now! Scrolling up in this thread now...I was pretty excited too! Can’t wait to see new colours appear.Calvi Duo?!
Yes, I look forward to seeing what pops up!
Darn Hermes, always creating new things to love, making it hard to be an 
! Do we know if the snap side will still hold cards? Or maybe the flap reduces the available height, thereby preventing that? I love options, and would be nice to have less-used cards on the snap side, a bit more secure.Hi girls!

I have two calvi - an evercolor and Mysore. The ever color is very soft and luxurious and I got it in a color that I would normally not choose (green) bc the texture was so nice. My Mysore one is in my favorite color (lime) but I do prefer the evercolor one. I use both. You can’t put coins in the calvi, so one of each, would be ideal. I don’t have a Bastia.
I just ordered the Calvi duo in Rouge H chevre. Looking forward to it.
I just ordered my Calvi Duo in Etoupe! Will post photos once i get it tomorrow! So Excited! BTW, im in Singapore and the Calvi Duo can only be purchased on the website, the SA at Stores does not know what Calvi Duo is. They thought im talking about a bi-color calvi.... lol
People on tPF always know more than the SAs about the new stuff.
