Thank you for the review, this is very helpful. I have to say I have a leather marc jacobs wallet in the exact same shape, that I have used and abused for 3 years now, without changing into any other wallet. It shows absolutely no wear, so this is definitely sad to see the quality.

If it's a quality issue though, LV are normally good at sorting it out, let's see what they say , I wouldn't rule it out just yet, only cause it's such a usable piece
Great review, I ordered this yesterday with the reverse print 550 euros but worked out cheaper than the £490 on the uk site. Have many LV pieces, some have been used to death and still look decent. Prices increases are crazy! My speedy 30 is now 3 times the price I paid and I’ve only used it 5 times at the most and they leather is still the same colour as new 🤣

Im sorry but you aren’t supposed to stuff it to that extent. You are essentially destroying the stitching, the piping and cracking the canvas. People can’t talk about glazing issues in cases like this. Sad to see this wallet destroyed like that. I have had mine since it came out. I put license and 4 cards in the back. I put 4 more card in the button and I put cash and receipts but everything has a limit.

Thanks for the honest review I brought my verso just before Christmas so a present to myself. I have only used it once so babying it a bit. I love the idea of the wristlet. I will be intrested to see what LV say on the peeling, as that slightly concerns me, but it wouldn't stop me using it. Never save anything for best as best might not come is my new mantra this year xx

Hi Friend! I can’t believe how much you fit in there! 🙈 Having worked there, the glazing is BOTH from wear and tear, AND the glazing is not as good as it used to be! Having said that, it’s worth a shot…they may or may not charge you. It’s good to point out that realistically, luxury can still wear and tear!

Hi Amelia, thank you for your indept and honest review! Perhaps I have a tip to downsize on the amount of cards..I use a mini size wallet from the brand Secrid, which stores a maximum of 8 cards I’m in The Netherlands and here we can use certain apps on our phone in which you could “store” loyalty cards. When shopping at a certain store, you open the app and search the needed card. And I don’t mean a separate app for every store (cause that’s another problem..an app for every other thing🤣) Have a wonderful weekend!

I think the glazing on canvas edge is a quality control issue. If I'm remembering right, the OnTheGo tote canvas straps (the ones inside) were replaced by leather for similar glazing problem with the original canvas. Also I believe the tote edges that were glazed canvas was rolling changed to a folded over sewn edge. I did see a video one with someone pointing out these changes. Anyway I hope when you talk to LV they will look after you, as they should.

Thank you for this, Amelia! I got the recto verso just like yours back in September. I really love it, want to switch back into it now. I have about five wallets I rotate through so they don't get a lot of hard wearing, plus I am minimalist in what I put in the wallet (most extra cards go into my mini o-case). But it is a shame to see all that peeling to the glazing like that. I hope you can get it fixed! It's a great wallet 💗

You could add a jump ring(they sell these with jewelry making supplies and amazon has them) to the ring on the victorine zipper pull so you can add a wristlet strap if you wanted.

Had 2 of the recto versa in monogram.. used it very lightly.. after not even 2 months, the glazing started to come up.. when back to my LV store and showed my SA and she exchanged it for me.. used it again, the same way, gently used it.. 4 months later , same thing , my SA checked again and luckily for me my SA exchanged it for the third time . However I believe this is a flaw for this piece and I won’t be using it again.. loved it but not for the price , don’t want to have to exchange anymore.

Mine is mint condition. I don’t use it as a daily wallet though - IMO it’s made more for a quick grab and go for a few cards and items for popping out for errands and light carry - that’s why I purchased - it wouldn’t work for me as a daily wallet. I almost purchased another in Empreinte but decided not to as it’s a bit limited for use.

Brilliant review as always! This is why I’ve strayed from canvas SLG’s. Besides my 6 ring key holder i use my main card in the back of - if i need a wallet I’ll go for a leather wallet. They get used and abused too much. My brazza wallet is TRASHED. The card slots are stretched out and bubbled, the glazing is a disgrace. I definitely need to send it to get fixed! Canvas is canvas and so I can’t expect the world. Going forward I think i’ll pay the extra and get leather. I’d die for an empreinte SLG!

Wow that amount of wear & tear is after 1 year is disappointing. I have a similar card case from a contemporary brand (Fossil Logan Card Case) which I’ve used everyday for close to 4 years now that has worn better than your Recto Verso. Granted it is leather and not canvas, but I would have expected LV canvas to wear better than a contemporary leather brand. I was looking at the recto verso to alternate with my aging Fossil card case, but I think I will go the empreinte leather option rather than the canvas.
