Got my recto verso today and tried the reverse Cardholder inside the slipped pocket - it was tight when it was empty
Thanks for sharing, this was a lot of fun to look at!!
Wow awesome comparison pics! You have a great SLG collection @meeh16 ! Thanks for the YSL comparison pics. I like the LV better for functionality and slimmer profile. Do you think you’ll keep both?
I picked up my recto verso today too! I find that the key chain (no keys attached) just can’t fit in the pouch with anything else in it. I’ve tried cards and cash and if the keychain is in there the zipper gets a bit curved. If you keep the keychain outside it can hold a lot of cards. It definitely is a slim card case, but very functional. I replaced 3 SLGs (neo cartes holder, key cles, and additional card pouch) with the RV. Surprised how easy the cards slide in and out of the slots as well. I was expecting it to be really tight like my neo cartes, but it’s very smooth. Even with 4 cards in. So happy I got my hands on this hot piece. It’s crazy how hard it is to get one of these!

Thank you. Will be downsizing soon. Waiting for my daughter to decide which one she would like to keep. I don't carry tons of cash hence I can keep the keychain inside the zipped pocket.
Love the pieces and that background surface pattern is divine!!!
As promised, Empreinte with comparisons and thoughts.
I love it!, but it’s a tad to slim and distorts with my daily dailies. It does fit in the mini but would take up all the room. I don’t believe the leather would hold up over time with my items inside as a daily use carry. My 6 key is a workhorse and last 2 pics show the Verso and my 6 key with the same contents.
3 card, 2 bills, 2 business cards, 3 keys, 1 building fob, and my car fob. The 6 key just does a better job housing all my grab and go essentials. Does it fit? Yes. Does it fit well?
Conclusion: Sadly it’s probably going back.

Inspired by you, I actually ended up also buying the 6 key holder (after returning the recto verso). Been using it for a week now and I love it. Fits everything i need and is small and compact
@evelyn_132 I have had mine for a week and am liking it. I used to carry a key cles for my keys, a card holder, and sometimes a coin pouch. The recto Verso is a 3-in-1 for me now. It’s a very slim profile though. I carry mainly cards (about 8), cash, house keys and my car key fob. It’s pretty much maxed out at this imo. And my car fob has to go outside the pouch. I’d say if you’re someone that is used to a light wallet this would work for you. If you like a full wallet, you’ll need other SLGs in addition. I love how it fits easily in my wave bum bag or I can run quick errands and have everything i need on the RV.
I’ve seen several reviews compare it to the Emprinte key pouch which is much cheaper and seems to hold a similar amount. I’d still chose the RV because i really like the way it looks. It’s a functional but very compact piece.
