This is my.first.humble venture into Hermes - i just loverrrrrrve the pink so much that I HAD to get it in rose confetti color! However, i am starting to think i am crazy because it will surely get dirty faster than the darker colors?

Esp since i am using it to store coins? Does Hermes chevre require regular cleaning/ wipes down with baby wipes are like a no no .. I read?

Thanks for letting me share! I just can't resist the pink :( i am usually very rationale and am a black caviar for Chanel and damier ebene for LV kind of girl!! Lol

Help, please! For a Calvi that will be used as one of a few daily cardholders, often carried in a pocket of a jacket, sometimes in a back pocket of jeans, is there a better choice between chèvre Mysore and chèvre Chamkila? I've been trying to read what I can find here on these chèvres but the Chamkila is pretty new, aIui, so not a lot of info. Maybe it doesn't matter?

Just from looking at pictures of them I prefer the Chamkila, but I'm wondering which chèvre is more "sturdy" for daily use and wear, and not being overly babied?

My bastia in chèvre mysore has been forever shuffled about in my work bags and it still looks pretty good.

They are both Chevre leathers (ie goatskin) with just a slightly different texture and shine. Chamkila is new so you won’t be able to find any long term use reviews.

Thank you, I'll just go with the one I think looks best in pics. It's the Calvi in Anémone and on the EU website they have it in these two chèvre versions. I'm not an Hermès connoisseur, I doubt I'd have noticed much of a difference if I hadn't known there is supposed to be one :smile: Learning...
