The Bastia and Calvi are two classic SLGs that are must-haves in any Hermès fan’s wardrobe. Despite featuring a similar shape, there are subtle differences between the two, and the reason for this refresher post. Craving for a timeless SLG that will never go out of style? Do read on.
The Bastia is a change purse and not a cardholder, so regular credit cards won’t easily fit. However, it is ideal for coins, keys and even a small stack of folded notes, all fitting neatly within the 8.5 cm by 8 cm case. The chic and practical design comes in a wide array of colours to boot.
As for the Calvi, think of it as two cardholders in one. It opens via a snap button closure to reveal roomy compartments on either side. The symmetrical SLG boasts its fair share of fans, especially gaining popularity as a unisex option in recent years. Like the Bastia, the Calvi also comes in classic and seasonal hues.
Prices for the Bastia and the Calvi start at SGD410 and SGD610 respectively. Naturally, those in Mysore goatskin and dual-tone verso styles will cost more. Whether you plan on getting one or both, you will find a wide range available at Hermès Singapore boutiques today.
