Wonder what 'Recovery Actions Underway' means? Hope it didn't end up on the Soprano Delivery truck at JFK

Maybe I missed it but does the card holder have a money clip on the back?

No. It has two card slots on the other side. And one center slot.

You're still OK. They know where it is. It may have been misrouted.

Do look for tire tracks on the package when you get it (not entirely joking).

Thanks for confirming the $800 but I've been saying all along that there will be no duty due on the wallet!

Honestly it seems like when a service like UPS, FedEx or a courier is used I get a fee for higher value shipments and when the Postal Service is used I do NOT. Companies (vs individual sellers) generally will only use courier type services so my gut is that you should plan on paying around 10% of the value in customs fees.
6 Credit Card wallet in Steely Gray with black interior is out of stock according to email I got this morning.

Maybe now people will believe it! Probably takes a member with more posts to make it believable.

Just arrived.
Pretty nice piece overall. Hopefully it stretches a little bit as I can't fit everything I usually carry. The slot holders, so far, are genuinely for one card a piece. Took a bunch of pictures. Hopefully they answer most questions.



Most of what was in my old wallet



Vs older LV I've used in the past. Quality seems pretty on par. The Lv may be a bit softer due to use.

That's a lot of stuff you fit in there. NICE!

So what was the total USD on that one with shipping?

In reality I only use one or two, Amex and debit (unless traveling for work when I'll use corp card and priority pass), so I'll probably thin the herd.

Amex charged me a little over $206

WOW that's a great price.

So you can hold two cards on either side?

You didn't seem too overwhelmed in your post--you happy with it?

Yeah, I have license and C&C in one slot, then one card per in the other three. Luckily for the wallet I had an outing the other day and spent most my cash on mulligans and 50/50 tickets

I haven't really had much time to check it all out etc, I was "listening" to a conference call while posting the "review"
For the price I don't think it can be beat, in terms of luxury card holders.
I'll probably use and abuse it over the course of the next couple weeks/months and check back in with an update.

Also, I'm happy I went with the yellow stitching as in person it really comes off as a nice accent to the wallet, not an overwhelmingly large border.

It looks great. I like that yellow trim detail. It pops, but it's not overwhelming. .

Woo hoo - ordered!





FYI for those wondering how order process works:
If we ship those items outside the European Union, you will pay the prices without taxes which we will provide you upon your order confirmation.

In addition, with regards to Incoterms (DAT ICC 2010 (Delivered At Terminal)), please note that the Maison Fauré Le Page assumes the responsibility to deliver every item purchased to the destination that will be indicated on the invoice form. Payment of custom taxes/rights, once the destination country is reached (if applicable), will be at the expense of the purchaser. Fauré Le Page has no visibility on custom taxes.

To estimate the shipping cost, we will need the exact delivery address with the Zip code. The cost will depend on the size and the weigh of the package. Therefore, the expedition fee will be confirmed at the end. Our transporter is TNT.

Finally to proceed to the payment, you will receive a link from our Bank to proceed to the payment on their secured website. This link will be available for a few hours only.

As soon as the payment is complete we will proceed to the shipment.

Congrats, Tex. I hope you like it.

The wife received her Tote, which she absolutely loves. I'll try to post photos when I have time. Today we are having a pre-site inspection for kitchen remodel so it will be busy.
