I saw one alligator calvi at the FSH last December and price was like 1470 euros. I thought it was too much of a multiply of the regular leather one Now it seems that the price in the US is even more crazy.

Agreed! I am a big collector so i felt i had to add one to my collection and i love the color Malachite. The price is nuts though.
I am really excited to get an Ostrich Calvi, that is easier to justify.
I was told for Small Leather goods, belts, or anything that uses the center of the scales, it has a base price of what they charge for the skin then add the time/labor/ other materials on top of that.
In my opinion, the Calvi is too high but the most over priced exotic piece is the Izmir sandals. They are $4100+ in the US and don’t have all that much more croc/gator.
This is just so stunning, especially in Malachite. Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing this wonderful eye candy.Here is a picture of the Calvi closed.
gorgeous! May I confirm this is matte?Here is a picture of the Calvi closed.
It's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this stunning color.
I agree with you the gator Calvi price is a gut-punch, but I also find there is something so joyful about a Calvi in any skin, and that joy is (for me) amplified by the exotic skin versions in accordance with the multiplied price.
For those who are watching out for exotic Calvis: I've seen some more BE gator ones like mine in the past weeks in Europe (although I liked the scales much less on the ones I saw than I do mine), plus a stunning matte Bordeaux version that was so rich and lovely. I also spied a Rose Tyrian ostrich version of the Calvi's cousin, the Bastia. Seems like H is going all-in on exotic SLGs, and I'm pretty excited to see what all becomes available.
OMG THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!Here is a picture of the Calvi closed.
Just thought I post my recent purchase from Hermès! So in love but scared to use due to rainy conditions at the moment!

Sorry. This app has difficulty posting pics! Needs an update ASAP!
Please don't let rainy conditions stop you - it's not as if it's a bag that would be open to the elements.
In a few months you won't think twice.
Vlad and Megs have asked many times that we use mobile web rather than the old tPF app.
Your Calvi is stunning!
It's wonderful to have beautiful things like this calvi, but a waste of beauty to keep it safely in its dustbag or box for fear of a mark or other sign of use. Real enjoyment is using it, seeing it when you open your bag, etc. Unless you just want to be a collector, to have things just to admire in their pristine state. As PJW said, please use this beauty.
I am a huge fan of the Calvi and this is a stunner for sure! I know the price tag is steep, but I would buy one if I could find one that I liked. That's for sure!!! Congrats on this beauty!!
H is extending the exotic calvi offerings to ostrich now too.

I am salivating on this beautiful piece! I only own 1 Calvi in Cactus Evercolor Calfskin and love the functionality and compactibility and your post is helping me in my quest for a 2nd Calvi. I’m sure it’ll help me wait patiently on a Birdie Kelly.
