I second your experience. I got mine when it first came out and I love it. I carry four cards on the outside, things like AAA insurance card etc. in the zipper part cash in the front snap pocket usually just a couple of 20s and I don’t ever put my keys on/in any kind of key holder so that’s not an issue for me. If I have it in a bag i use the key holder to clip it in place. I like how flat it is because I can slip it in a pocket for dog walks. I do think it is overpriced, but LV has really raised all prices so many times lately that is their norm now. It’s kind of nice to truly be LV satisfied (for awhile this time I think!). But if you don’t carry a lot in a wallet I think this is a nice piece. I also love my coin card holder in mono eclipse/reverse and those are less expensive than the recto.

I agree. The price might be stiff but when I compared it to the price I paid for my porte carte zippé 2 years ago, I paid roughly $49 CAD more and it has 2 new features: key chain and flap section.
I am loving it. Although I find it a pain taking it in and out of my Gucci's kids' belt bag.
The neo cardholder was in stock over the weekend. I managed to buy it and will be delivered on Thursday. I will compare this with my reverse cardholder and see which one I will like best.
I have been stalking the website looking for a Recto Verso for a couple of months now, but it's never been available when I've checked (signed up for notifications and received one, once, but in the middle of the night and by morning it was unavailable again). I was originally looking for monogram, but I'm now wondering if maybe I'd prefer it in Empreinte. I really like the blue colour with the red accents.
Does anyone have this in Empreinte? How does that compare with monogram? Is it maybe a bit easier to fit things inside? I've noticed a few people commenting that there's not a lot of give in the monogram version.

Not sure where you’re located but the mono has been atb so many times on the EU website.
I personally have posted several times and managed to add two to my bag. It was atb 23, 25, 29, 30 Sept and 1st Oct. It seemed to me no one wanted it so a lot of us on the thread stopped posting it.
I’m in the UK. Someone on the “stalking” thread did tell me it was available, which I appreciated, but unfortunately by the time I saw their post it was gone. It’s never been available when I’ve checked. I’m not able to be checking tPF or the LV site all day, I guess it’s just luck if it happens to be available when one visits the site.
Ok. There’s no need to check the site all day just check availability during the restock times approx: (3-5am, 7-9.30am, 10.30-1.00pm and 4.30-6.00pm) and you should get it pretty easily.
Keep following the EU stalking and chatting thread for atb notifications. I just tagged you on there as these are both available.

I have the mono version. The empreinte is more expensive hence I settled on the empreinte key pouch after watching a video on Ytube where the mono was compared to the empreinte key pouch
I meant that the monogram version has never been available when I looked. I did notice that the Empreinte version has been available every time I’ve looked.
I didn’t know that there are restock times. I’ll keep an eye during those times, thanks.

On the EU thread we've managed to work out there's a trend to restocks and time windows for when hard to find (htf) items become available. If you're after the mono, I will tag you if I see it atb. As mentioned previously I stopped posting as no one in the group was looking for the RV.
My CA ordered one for me 2 weeks ago, its being delievered today!!
I hope it works for me. Its expensive, and I hope it holds everything I need it to. Ive gone through this thread several times and wasnt going to order it, but couldnt resist....

I got mine and while it doesn’t expand as much as I would like it fits into my mini bags with ease and has more organization than most wallets this size so I like it a lot!
I went in store to take a look at the Recto Verso empriente leather and the leather feels much more plastic-y vs my empriente Zoe wallet. What are people’s thoughts? Has the leather gotten more supple over time to those who currently own it?
