Three questions you should ask yourself:
1) Are you looking for a particular leather?
2) Are you looking for colourful/playful or conservative?
3) Do you prefer the slit card slots of the Citizen Twill or the standard card slots of the Copernic?

I find the Copernic has come in more leather choices over the past few years: Evercalf, Evercolor, Evergrain, Epsom, Alligator, Ostrich, Barenia. I have mostly seen Citizen Twills in fewer leather choices: Evergrain, Evercolor, Epsom, Swift although I haven't seen a Swift Citizen Twill in some time.

Over the past couple of years, the Copernic has had the "Jungle" and "Colorblock" models with bi-colour and multi-colour panels. Personally I don't like them but I'm sure it appeals to enough people for them to continue with the "Colourblock" models. I haven't seen the Jungle models recently and I expect them to be discontinued.

The Citizen Twill is often offered in far more colourful options than the Copernic (the "Colorblock" models aside). So if you are looking for fun/playful, the Citizen Twill would be my choice.

I'm not a fan of the slit pockets of the Citizen Twill but I do love the silk lining because it's far more playful while the Copernic would be my choice for a formal looking bi-fold.

I've never been a fan of the Poker or any money-clip wallet to be honest. I prefer using a separate money clip and cardholder if I don't want the bulk of a bi-fold wallet.

I hope this helps.

I prefer the Citizen Twill card holder in Epsom calfskin. Epsom is much more durable than other calfskins. It’s resistant to scratching, also lightweight and cleans with a simple wipe using a damp cloth. The only Epsom calfskin color available on hermes.com is black. I prefer blue or navy. They have swift calfskin in blue and navy...

I'm not a big fan of the slit pockets of the Citizen Twill either. Is there a functional purpose of the slit pockets vs. full length pockets? Aesthetics?

What may be a deal breaker is that I don’t think half folded US bills fit in center slot without sticking out.
 
I know cargo birkin is limited edition but for a canvas bag to go for 22,000+USD... I have to say this is crazy! I was planning to try my best to get one for my hubby but that price just took the wind out of my sails lol.

That IS crazy!

And we don't yet know what this bag is like on the inside i.e. leather lined with pockets etc, or fully canvas.
 
Thanks @Flowerlily for bumping the thread! We've all been far too quiet of late...

In between lusting after a Kelly Dépêches 25 and adjusting to the 'new normal' of life during Covid, I've been spending far too long stalking the various H websites to keep me immersed in the orange glow and I've seen a couple of Spring/Summer'20 season bags popping up.

And speaking of the Kelly Dépêches 25, for any of you who have bought one, or tried one on in-store, what are your thoughts?

Would love to see some pics and hear stories of how you have been wearing and using them. Thanks!
