Q: What are the dimensions and how much can it hold? A: The approximate measurements are 10 x 7 x 1 cm (W x H x D). It typically holds around 8–10 standard cards split across the two pockets, plus a few folded banknotes or business cards. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette and the press‑stud.
Q: What sizes of cards or devices fit, and can it hold an AirTag? A: It fits standard credit‑card sized items (around 85.6 x 54 mm), many transit passes and ID cards. An AirTag can fit, but may add bulk; avoid sharp or thick objects that press against the leather or closure.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the Hermès Calvi card holder? A: The Calvi is a compact Hermès small leather good featuring an envelope-inspired design with two internal compartments and a press‑stud closure. Details can vary by model and year—please review our photos and description for the exact features of this piece.
Q: What are the dimensions and how much can it hold? A: The approximate measurements are 10 x 7 x 1 cm (W x H x D). It typically holds around 8–10 standard cards split across the two pockets, plus a few folded banknotes or business cards. Avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette and the press‑stud.
Q: Is it suitable for coins, keys or a passport? A: The standard Calvi does not have a dedicated coin pocket or zip, so loose coins and keys are not recommended and it is too small for a passport. For coins, many customers choose the Hermès Bastia coin purse or a Calvi variant with additional compartments. If carrying small loose items, place them in a separate pouch to protect the leather.
Q: What materials and hardware are typical, and what are the specifics of this piece? A: Calvi card holders commonly come in Epsom, Chèvre or Evercolor leathers with a metal press‑stud. This item is crafted in brown grained leather in Camel with silver‑toned hardware and features two internal compartments and a press‑stud closure—see our photos for close‑ups.
Q: Is the Calvi unisex and how can I use it? A: Yes—it's widely used by all genders as a slim wallet, card case or business card holder. It suits daily carry in small bags or coat pockets and works well for travel cards, IDs and minimal cash.
Q: How should I care for and clean the leather and hardware? A: Keep leather away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly if needed. Avoid soaps, solvents and alcohol‑based cleaners. Polish the press‑stud lightly with a dry microfibre cloth. Store empty or lightly filled, away from heat and humidity, and avoid contact with abrasive items to minimise scratches.
Q: Will the leather stretch or soften over time? A: Grained leathers soften with use and may mould slightly to the contents. Overstuffing can stretch the pockets and stress the closure. For longevity, keep the load moderate and rotate cards periodically.
Q: Does it have a blind stamp or microchip, and how is authenticity verified? A: Hermès small leather goods typically feature a blind stamp indicating the year and craftsperson; newer items may also include an embedded microchip. The blind stamp on this piece reads “U” (2022). A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hardware—stamps or chips alone are not definitive.
Q: What sizes of cards or devices fit, and can it hold an AirTag? A: It fits standard credit‑card sized items (around 85.6 x 54 mm), many transit passes and ID cards. An AirTag can fit, but may add bulk; avoid sharp or thick objects that press against the leather or closure.
Q: What is included with this item and where is it made? A: Inclusions vary for vintage and pre‑owned pieces—please check the Accessories section. This listing indicates “no accessories”. The country of origin label shows France for this piece.
