Oh that's good to know that it's holding up well. Is this Calvi your daily Calvi?

I use a compact bearn for my frequently used cards and cash (I prefer to not have to roll up $$)
The calvi is great for my gift cards or merchandise credits that I don’t store in my main wallet but still like to have with me. I usually have my calvi and bastia along for the ride, with my main wallet.
Just passed up a box duo calvi because I wanted the pretty color of the chèvre calvi but oml I cannot stop thinking of the box duo. I literally carry 4 cards and maybe a $20 so the duo seemed silly. But box is so so so gorgeous!
I just bought a black Calvi card holder and I haven't used it yet lol...is it worth it to keep it? I see people say that love it than some say no because the card slip out. Need some thoughts if I should keep it or not.
When I got my calvi I originally got it because it just seemed like the thing I “had to have” but I didn’t know what exactly to do with it. I love using it as a place to put all my gift cards that I would normally place inside a drawer and not have on me when needed. Now I always have my calvi on me with those cards so if I happen to be in one of those stores, the gift card or store credit is on me!
There’s an old thread for that but unfortunately not very active and filled with Bastia
Here it is: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/show-me-your-creative-uses-for-calvi-and-bastia-slgs.962334/
I don’t like Calvi but Calvi duo is my wallet now. A few cards, bills at the back and coins for supermarket trolley in the coin compartment, I am all set.
Calvi duo in chèvre - am I going to be sorry with the purchase because it will look mangled in a few months? It’s gorgeous and a fabulous colour but I want something that will look good for a long time.
Mine in mauve sylvestre still look good after couple years ! I do rotate my SLGs though.
Maybe give a box calvi a try. I recently got a box calvi in Rouge H. I have a gold calvi duo in epsom that I use everyday for cash, business cards, odds and ends. This calvi will house my CCs and membership cards. The box is indeed gorgeous!
I bet that verso calvi looks amazing. As for box calvi, I have only seen it in 3 colors, black, a midnight blue (really really dark blue hue) and the rough H. I would love to see what other colors it comes in. If you ever come across one, please do share pics.
Also comes in Rouge Piment.
I have the blue abysse and black ones...I long for one of the reds!!

I love box but they are so hard to find. I’ve tried on three trips to Paris with no luck, even when I got a bag! I will keep my eye out!
Depending on where you are located, the US website has a blue box Calvi and i have seen the black as well as the Rough H ones from time to time. If you visit your SA in person, he/she can place an online order on your behalf for one of these. Good luck!
