Yep.. and mine was too stiff/weird feeling even with the cards only. I think the problem was the back cardslots combined with the very slim ”bottom” of the zipper compartment..

If the YSL had the hidden pocket I’d get that over the recto. Wasn’t interested in the recto till I saw this picture. Looks so nice with the reverse card holder (though i am sure it leaves less space in the zip pocket if you carry this way.
the recto in mono is sold out in Canada ☹️. Has anyone gotten theirs recently? Wondering if they are backordered in production.

It would be tight to use other spots if someone actually used their cardholder in the hidden pocket so don’t let this picture fool you
oh that is pretty and I have the reverse cardholder. Hoping to be able to get the recto verso within the next two weeks.
Can't wait to play around with it. I made up my mind to buy it and will be selling some of my slgs that are sitting inside the drawer and accumulating dust
One just came into my store AND i was able to get a reverse cardholder too!! Picking it all up Saturday!! Will share pics!
I am selling my neo cartes card holder to make room for these two too. I think the mono recto will be really stiff. My neo cartes is still stiff with 4 cards in the back after 5 months of using it. The emprinte leather is soft so I think it’ll be easier to break in, but I am really on the fence about the look (and price). I really want an emprinte piece, but all my stuff is mono right now. I like how some people clip their recto verso to their bags, looks cute. I think mono on mono would look better. The emprinte seems to be available everywhere too, so not as hard to get.
i am still in shock at my luck. Literally saw two mono rectos online last night and both gone an hour before the store opened. i have the best SA ever!
I can't believe I missed out on the neo cartes card holder - it looks like it has been discontinued.
Congrats! can't wait to see some pics
It’s still on the Canadian website. When you search it only comes up with the epi leather but if you go into the details page and change the material it’s there. Think it must just be a search engine glitch!
Thanks but I live in Italy and they only have the epi available.
Maybe I can take a look when i pick up my recto verso tomorrow morning
After a week of waiting, finally able to pick this beauty up
here are some pics against the Porte Carte Zippé
Against the YSL Small Envelope Wallet
Against the Round coin case and vintage
