Once a minimalist SLG content to hold cards, folded cash and coins, the handy Calvi Duo from Hermès now packs an even greater punch. The dachshund edition Hermès introduced during fall-winter 2025 merely signalled the beginning. Now, several new printed variations officially join the lineup, each bringing playful colour and personality directly into your pocket.

Amongst the new designs are a stirrup rendered in bold ink-like strokes, wild-haired horses that reveal themselves when fully open, and a charming gentleman in a top hat watering an apple tree. There is also a navy variation with geometric origami-esque paper boats. Meanwhile, the beloved Teckel à Collier remains a core offering, depicting a dachshund trotting across the Rouge De Cœur leather wearing an elegant Hermès collar.
Every printed Calvi Duo arrives crafted from Swift calfskin, one of Hermès’ smoothest and most supple leathers. More importantly, it showcases colour exceptionally well, reflecting light evenly on vibrant tones for an almost glossy appearance. Naturally, this elevates the price slightly above classic Epsom versions, while the additional printed detailing bumps the retail price up to SGD1450.
Beyond the new artwork and leather treatment, however, Hermès’ Calvi Duo’s functionality remains reassuringly familiar. Inside sits the secondary snap-button compartment responsible for the ‘duo’ in its name, essentially creating one cardholder within another. Consequently, this compact accessory retains its practical charm while carrying considerably more personality than before.
