Croc calvis were $2600 around the time I purchased mine. I never seen light colored ones online though so yours are particular a beaut!

random question , have you found that the croc calvis are very round in shape compared to calfskin. My calfskin calvis usually flatten out after time. but my croc ones have stays inflated looking still.

I actually don’t have any regular leather calvis
But I have compared my new vert deau calvi to my older beton calvi and the beton calvi was noticeably flatter (purchased a year apart), and they’re both now flatter than my unused ostrich calvi!
Great ! I hope its able to flatten out after time. It's annoying sometimes because of its shape when I put it in suit pockets.I actually don’t have any regular leather calvis

A tip from my bf is to throw it in your back pocket and sit on it daily- his calvis became noticeably flatter after being in his possession

I know chevre is a softer skin so perhaps it's sitting in your bag and impacting other harsher materials perhaps?
I have a Calvi Duo.
Name and reference of mine: Porte-cartes Calvi Duo Compact - H083035CK9O
The reference for Calvi Duo is H083035. The following letters and numbers stands for leather and colour. In my case it is CK90, leather Epsom and color Jaune de Naples (yellow).
I hope that your SA can handle this. She has to know the code for both the leather and the color also, not just the code for the Calvi Duo itself.
I‘m sorry, but this isn’t all correct. CK stands for the hardware (palladium). All an SA needs is the first 6 digits and all various colors it comes in will show, no need for the full code including the color code. And a different leather means a different code.
Epsom: H083035
Mysore: H082977
Chamkila: H083416
Epsom verso: H083036
Mysore verso: H083038
There are also seasonal ones with print in Swift that each have their own code.
Above codes are all the SA needs to do a search. If you are certain of the color you want (and that the Calvi Duo actually comes in that color) you can just add CK and the specific color code for the single color ones to get the full code, but the verso options won’t work that way (those have a certain two letters after CK).
(An SA can also search by name if they want to.)

Whenever I ask her something by name she almost never finds it that way always asks if I have the code. The one time she did look up by name/look was when the SM was next to her when I asked, and she asked for his help. I don’t mind too much but I do miss my SA in Europe who wouldn’t just find things by name but would also find things I didn’t even know about, saying “this reminded me of you”.
Anyway I digress…
Super excited at the prospect of finding a calvi duo, my overused calvi definitely needs a partner in crime!
