The price in CNY is so much more than USD! But, that's how it always seems to be

Maybe Box is not a good idea for Calvi/Calvi Duo
Yea... I feel like Box is a really great heritage leather, but on something that gets so much touching all over... could look disheveled after some use. I think Box is better suited for bags that don't get used daily, something that you bring out every once in a while.Maybe Box is not a good idea for Calvi/Calvi Duo
Oh thanks for this! Was LITERALLY about to buy it on the site then thought to check back up on this thread first and I’m so glad I did 🤣 as much as I love box, it might not be the ideal choice for calvis 😅 my other two are epsom - one is over 5 years old and the other is a year old and both are still basically flawless lol
Good to know! I'll definitely consider epsom for the calvi if I still want it in the future!
I am not exactly a fan of my Calvi SLG. I wish I got box leather. I think it would be more rigid and hold my cards better. They tend to slide out. I ended up using the Calvis for currency (which I rarely carry). The pre loved box calvi above does look a built sad, but Box leather can be SPAed beautifully. And patinated box is lustrous. IMO only, box and heritage leathers are best with signs of an active life lol.
Not the best pic but one of a calvi and my card case
ETA: I think my opinion is not a popular one. Bc I’m not crazy about pliable leather, I particularly dislike chèvre leather except as a lining. I only have one chèvre clutch. I did have a chèvre longue kelly wallet, and it simply got more limp and flaccid with use.

Is it just me or I really thought lizard calvi would be a lot more?
Yes that's how much my Noir lizard calvi was. I, too, was shocked at how relatively inexpesnsive it was. I am still on the hunt for a Bleu Saphir calvi!!
Do you have photos of your black lizard one? I wanna see how it wears as I've heard mixed things about lizard
Yes I posted it in this thread around the December time frame
Epsom is indestructible! My mom has a b25 in epsom which is around 10 years old I believe, give or take a couple years and it’s also still flawless. Here’s my most recent calvi I’ve been using daily for a year.
I will say, as I don’t need things to stay perfect, I think the box calvi would be fine if it’s just inside a bag most the time without rubbing on other things. I think my mauve Sylvestre calvi is still flawless cause my p18 has been my daily bag for a while and the calvi sits in its own pocket in my picotin insert so it never touches anything else lol
