With the rising popularity of mini wallets and compact card-and-coin cases, the Calvi Duo has garnered special attention in recent years. Despite its small size, it wins over users with its blend of practicality and refined design.
Here, we’ll introduce the Calvi Duo’s standout features, how to make the most of its functionality, and the colors that are currently in demand.
The Hermès Calvi Duo is a mini wallet that combines simplicity with thoughtful design. Its slim, horizontal silhouette features a two-pocket layout, offering an efficient way to organize your essential cards and cash.
The Calvi Duo’s two pockets are thoughtfully crafted with different sizes and shapes, making it easy to organize cards, folded bills, and coins according to your needs.
The luxurious leather texture revealed when opening the flap, paired with the signature Hermès clasp, showcases the brand’s commitment to exceptional quality and detail.
The standout feature of the Calvi Duo is its dual-pocket design, which maximizes the efficient storage of everyday essentials.
The main pocket comfortably holds around 4 to 5 cards. However, depending on the leather type, it may feel a bit stiff when new, so for smoother access, it’s best to keep it to 4 cards or fewer.
This pocket is ideal for your essential credit cards, loyalty cards, or transit passes—tailored to fit your lifestyle.
The second pocket is designed to hold folded bills and coins separately. Bills can be folded into thirds, but to maintain a slim profile, limiting it to about 2 bills is recommended. Likewise, to preserve the leather’s condition and avoid bulk, it’s best to carry around 5 coins at most.
