I've heard that about the canvas versions of the flap wallets (like Emilie and Sarah), so I've decided to steer away from those. My first choice would be the Emilie in empreinte, but I don't like the interior colour of the noir version (is that weird)?

Glad to hear about the zip around versions - Clemence and the Zippy. I think I'm leaning more towards that as I do think I want a canvas one but really not sure!

Yea, I agree it would look nicer if the entire wallet was black instead of having the beige in there.

I like canvas and find it durable. I have the 6 key holder in mono from 2005. The glazing came off a few years ago and I'm still using it without the glazing. The canvas hasn't cracked yet lol. I don't recommend this though. I will take it in soon to have it reglazed.

I have Emilie in both Damier Ebene and Empreinte Noir. Love the envelope style. I’ve stopped using the Zippy Epi for years as it’s the heaviest of the three long wallets I own. Emilie in canvas is lightweight but the leather button is an issue. If you have narrowed down your choices to Emilie then I suggest go for Empreinte. I have not faced any issues with the light coloured interior.
