Space for Guys & their Hermès

[walds11]

Much as I hate to disagree with Okiern, the Bastia is not wide enough to take credit/debit cards.
The popular Hermes option is the Calvi.
I am sure Okiern and I would agree that you should try for an example in barenia.

The MC2 Copernic is a great card holder billfold, but I think that would not be small enough for you

Calvi and Bastia in barenia with midnight blue linings.

The Calvi is worth a look. It’s compact and something different than what I’ve carried.

The Mc2 Copernic is slightly smaller length wise compared to the Poker (4.3” vs 4.6”), but has more card slots ( 8 plus 2
additional pockets vs 4 with money clip). You would think the wallet with the less card slots with the money clip would be smaller...?

I definitely prefer the Hermès “jungle” models. That’s where Hermès uses different color materials inside/outside, right?

I believe you may be referring to the petit H creations. I believe there was a jungle theme once, as well as an elephant and a croc/gator hippo

This?

Yes, I’ve seen that...

This?

But why does Hermès use the “jungle” reference in the Poker title?

I found the small model, but it’s no longer available

Haven’t a clue. I didn’t know these exist! (shows you how much I search for men’s wallets) I look mostly at larger wallets, IE zippered wallets, and they put those in the ladies section mostly

I love the poker bill clip and I am thinking of getting that as well. I was also looking into the Valextra coin purse to fit my cards. I like the security of the zipper.

Also, Valextra makes wonderful card cases.

I need to locate the poker bill clip, small model. It’s not available online, but wonder if it’s available in stores. Do you think customer service can look up availability in stores across the country?

You can try! I've never dealt with Hermes customer service to be honest so I'm not too sure. But, it's not a super rare item or anything so you can go into your local Hermes and just ask. I've done that a few times and I've always found the items I was looking for. I am looking for the small model as well.

Good idea. I will stop by my local Hermès boutique and ask. I’ve browsed there a lot, but haven’t bought anything yet.

Hermes wallets are too large for my taste and I prefer the super compact Calvi to carry cards and cash. It is slim and keeps the content really secure.

Yeah I always prefer going into the boutique. You also might run into a piece that you may not have known even existed from Hermes. I always find new wallet designs when I got into the boutique.

Agreed. And it’s always good to build a relationship with an SA at the boutique.

I find that card holders with external slots tend to look kind of ugly with credit cards or cash sticking out of the slots. I use the Envelope MM as a wallet and find it perfect. Holds a couple cards and a few folded bills (may not fit Euros). And it looks the same whether empty or full. Comes in mysore or sometimes Barenia.

I’ve been using card holders for the longest time and want to switch to a traditional bi-fold for that very reason. It’s gotta be a super slim bi-fold though. I carry 5 cards and a few bills in front pocket, so not a loaded wallet
