Hermès Calvi Duo: First Impressions, Worth it?

[@StyledByGwenny]

That colour! 😍🩷💖 I've had my eye on one of these for a while now. 😘

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Gwenny! 🥰. I was always in the fence about this but I heard so many good things that I have in! I think you are overdue to get one!

[@fuchsiafloyd]

It is such a pretty color! I'm glad you are enjoying it and thanks for the review...I'm thinking on it.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Eva! 🥰. I think you would really like it! It is compact, now that I’ve used it it’s starting to flatten out, so perfect for small bags.

[@LuMiLevelUp]

You always find the cooles Amazon products Dawn 💕

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Mary! 🥰. I have another cool one on order! Try this balm though, it’s nice!

[@Jorgelinas.Journey]

Great video Dawn! I love what you did with your bag of the day! I have the original Calvi and I really like it and this version looks so neat!

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Jorgelina! 🥰. Everyone loves their Calvi. I have to use this a while to test it fully!

[@maryannbecker9666]

Great video as usual, Dawn! The color of Calvi Duo is gorgeous. I hope the boys are doing well!🐈‍⬛

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Maryann! 🥰. The boys are wonderful! They are too busy birdwatching lately to make videos!

[@YotaStyle]

I need to try the lippy, if it’s similar to Dior. Love the color of your Hermes Calvi. I am loving pink lately!!! Great review Dawn!

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Yota! 🥰. I would say it’s as good as Dior. It feels great on! I really like this pink and the Rose Sakura the best of the Hermès pinks.

[@YotaStyle]

@@dawnlovescouture2644 I do too Dawn that Rose Sakura is beautiful!!!

I love the colour, so pretty ❤

[@monarch6443]

Hi Dawn! Thank you so much for this review. I have the Calvi Duo on my wishlist because I wanted a small SLG for my mini Evelyn. I now know this isn't for me. Thanks so much for your review, this has been very helpful.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Monarch! 🥰. I’m glad this is helpful. I like it, but I honestly think it’s only useful stuffed. I usually take a flat cardholder or my Chanel flap cardholder when I carry my Mini Evelyne.

[@WineNHandbags]

I have that MZW bag in the larger size in a shimmery pale pink and it is the BEST travel bag ever! The back on the larger size has the slat so that it can slip over the handles of a roller bag. Love some MZW!!! Thanks for showing the smaller size. It is gorgeous as a purse!

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Oh the pale pink must be beautiful! 🥰. These are excellent travel bags in the larger size. I use this bag and the small Sutton for work, they hold whatever I need to take for the day.

[@Davids_Closet]

Oh that bag has a very unique “mouth”. I need to check out that brand! Also love this wallet. That color is to die!!❤

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks David! 🥰. MZ Wallace makes great travel bags, definitely take a look!

[@JoleeSO]

Nice review Dawn💜🐦‍⬛

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Jolee! 🥰

[@danielas8096]

Hi Dawn! Love the color of your calvi duo. I usually carry my calvi and my Bastia together but I think I like the calvi duo much better. It’s more useful.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Daniela! 🥰. You made your own duo! 💕. If I didn’t get the duo, I would have probably gotten a Bastia just to carry folded cash. But this keeps everything in one place!

[@KenyshaIrieTV]

Love the color and SLG Dawn! 💕

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Kenysha! 🥰

[@lisatakeitorleaveit]

Great review! Love the color :-)

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Lisa! 🥰. It’s a good neutral pink. I still love my Coach zippy though! 🤗

[@camiscloset2369]

I love the color. Its great that you can hold a lot yet it’s still pretty compact.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Cami! 🥰. I think it will get slimmer as it gets used. This Evercolor leather is pretty soft and will soften more in time.

[@landalanda]

I love to own a duo as I love my Calvi and Bastia. I want one in a beautiful color pop of colors like yours. In case you didn’t know, the proper way to open a Calvi is like a book and not like an envelope. Then your 2 cards will not fall out. I’m not sure why everyone likes to open it like an envelope. 😊 I’ve naturally open it like a book. Also, to get to your coins out of that pocket, pull on the flap straight up and it lifts your money and coins up to the surface for easy access. That’s how that side functions. Hope these tips help. 😊

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks. 🙂. I have opened it like a book and the cards slide toward the center. No matter how you open it, the cards are very loose inside and unless it’s stuffed, the cards slide around. Yes, I know about pulling the flap out to access coins. Someone else told me it functions that way. I haven’t put many coins inside.

[@MissysBeautyandLuxury]

Oooh! love the lip color on you! MZW! Dawn I have one of these in my cart and just have not pulled the trigger yet! Gosh I love the iridescent color!! 🥰🥰🥰 Calvi Duo is gorgeous!! Maybe Kevin will let me dip my toes in the water of Hermès this way! LOL TFS!!

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

[@YosheaLux]

I love the opening, It's pretty unique. One day I may get a wallet/cardholder from Hermes. We're supposed to get an Hermes store here where I live. We will see. Have an awesome day Dawn.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Deleen! 🥰. The one in Princeton just opened. Seems like Hermès is expanding so I hope you do.

Hi Dawn great video I love my Calvis but I don’t have a duo maybe next 💚💚💚

Hi Craig! 🥰. It’s time you added one! 🥰

[@Restless318]

love it for me coach zip case is the best

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

I do love that style! 🥰

[@beacuz]

Hi Dawn - it is all beautiful and so summer fun looking 😊. That lip balm and creamy bag with pops of color SLGs so summery-I like the strap, maybe Fuchsia Floyd will let you borrow her Ice Cream twilly for your ponytail 😊 you know that twilly will look good with the dragon fruit backpack too. OMG you have such pretty things

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Thanks Bea! 🥰. I think the next time she visits I may have to raid her bags! 🤣. That Twilly would be perfect in my Dragonfruit backpack! 💕. I think the nice thing about a fun color SLG is that you can use it all year and have a little bit of sunshine with you!

[@Raellescloset]

Hi ya Dawn! I love your MZ bag! I like the neon pink strap actually it pops against the cream color. Looks great for summer. I hope you get your earring repaired. 🙏 They are so precious! The Calvi color is beautiful! My kind of color! 🩷Thank you for sharing and stay cool! I just got back from walking Hogs and it’s too too hot for my liking! 🥵 Have a wonderful night with the boys! 💙💙😊

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Raelle! 🥰. OMG stay indoors now! It’s awful! I really love the MZ Wallace bags, especially for work. I do love the pink of the Calvi. I have to message my SA, I need my earring back!

[@jeanmoore3804]

I still prefer my Chanel card holder over everything else Dawn although like yourself I’ve only had mine a few weeks , I thought it was just me that the shoogling of the cards annoyed 😂. Take care. Jean xx

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Jean! 🥰. The Chanel flap cardholders are my favorite, as well as the Coach zippy wallet. I think we just need to adjust since this is a new style. Mine is already getting softer and flattening since I’ve been using it for close to a week now. I think I will end up liking it a lot.

[@jeanmoore3804]

@@dawnlovescouture2644 That's good to know it starts to flatten Dawn. I'll give it another go. Thank you xx

[@Anntea9699]

Hi Dawn: Thank you so much for the review. I love the color of your Calvi Duo. I have an orange bastia that I rotate for carrying coins and folded cash. I was so excited years ago to walk into a Hermes store and purchase it. But now, I look at it (simple as it is) and ask myself if it was worth the money. MY answer is: "No it's not." You can buy much more substantial things for what you pay for these little bastia purses. In this case, I feel like I'm only paying for a name.

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

I agree, I think with many of these luxury items that’s all there is. I wanted one because I thought it would be a good flat cardholder. It will flatten in time. It’s not my first Hermès purchase, and in fact I wouldn’t recommend it as a first purchase. I think their jewelry is a much better intro and a better price. But I do think this is versatile and I will get good use out of it. Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@Smilingcats_couture]

Love this Calvi Duo 💗 I definitely want one, just finishing up what I’m collecting then I’m saving for a Picotin and a Calvi Duo 🩷 It will be in 2025, but we all should have goals 😉💖

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

That’s a great goal, Laurie! 🥰. I have a few other things that I want to get from Hermès too. I want another shawl and I would love a good loafer if I can wear it. And the Picotin! 🥰

Hi dawn love the duo. Sold my regular Calvi. That one I did not like at all. Talk about cards sliding. Did you get yours online? I did get mine online it was a fluke one of those 3 am deals. I was shocked it was on there. The tongue on the Change holder part pulls all the way out. Didn’t know if you knew it’s pretty cool on the duo. Give tigee and Henry a hug

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Hi Kate! 🥰. I got it at the boutique. I didn’t have an Hermès slg and so many people talk about how functional these are. While it is, I didn’t realize that it is really meant to hold more than one or two cards. I will have to play around more with the change holder part. It fits a lot besides change!

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Ok, I tried and it does pull out! Thanks so much for letting me know! ❤. My SA is new, all the SA’s are at the boutique I go to, so she probably didn’t know.

Yes def a great piece. Very welcome enjoy

Trying to decide between duo and regular calvi….. do you have a regular calvi also?

Hi Michelle! 🥰. I just have the duo. Other than the extra compartment, they are the same. I think it’s handy to have that extra space, it can hold more than just change.
