A5 Finsbury Slate Grey Organiser

I was given this filofax from this Amazon page a year ago. I am a final year university student now with a few paid work and voluntary roles. So I'm very busy and need to plan a lot. When this came in the post I was very impressed by the quality of the leather. It is vibrant and has plush and cushiony feel to it (huggable!). There is plently of room if you want to add a bunch of post it notes, stickers, credit card size cards and pens etc. I bought a bunch of extra refills such as graph paper etc. I also use a wallet insert to keep articles I get in class to read. So overall there is plenty of room. I left it until now to leave my review so that I could give honest feedback as to how well it stands up to being used multiple times a day. I'm very very happy with it. Looking at it right now it looks good as new. There are no scuff marks or scratches (even in the corners or opening tab), which I would have accepted because I throw this thing around in bags full of stationary, books and cans etc. A year a go I was prepared to say that you might as well get a cheaper diary because after a year they'll wear and tear the same. Which is what I said to my partner who bought it for me (hugs!) Now I'm saying that it's a great investment, it only if you know you'll use it. Though to be honest I've never been much of a paper planner until this thing. You will never look at your gorgeous raspberry filofax with anything but sheer glee. So yes I love it. I don't even need hole protectors to stop the page ripping because of the wire bar bindings. The paper is strong enough for those too. I am trying to come up with something to complain about here to give a balanced view. Hmm. Okay looking at it here the only thing I can see is that the inky fineliners I use are faintly visible on the reverse of the page. I press quite hard though but I know that some people find that very annoying. Generally the quality of the paper is amazing though, very thick and creamy. Also it is quite bulky, but that's to be expected for a quality a4 planner with enough room to carry a full diary and important documents and stationary and money. You could quite easily use it instead of a handbag ;) So to conclude, if I haven't convinced you that this filofax is worth it, I've just gone and bought some diary page refills despite their price. That is saying something as a poor student. P.s. in the photos bear in mind (pun intended) that Ive only got a few months of diary inserts left, it can fit much much more in it comfortably :)

I really like this new Filofax (well, new to me). It is very sturdily made from what feels to be good quality firm leather and feels like it is built to last. The item was delivered the next day after ordering and comes in a attractive box. It all feels very classy. Inside, the contents were: 2014 lined week on 2 pages diary. To Do lists. Address sheets. 5 different colours of notepaper. A ruler/Today guide. A double-sided plastic sheet credit card holder. A separate A5 6-holed notepad in the right hand slip compartment. The Finsbury itself has 2 pen loops, 3 credit card slots (as well as a 4th mesh/drivers license slot), 2 floppy disc pockets (which you could use for more cash/store cards etc.), a vertical zip pocket and a slip in vertical pocket (which is fairly tight when new) for loose papers etc. It's ideal for my needs. The size is just right for jotting down notes in a recliner (whereas an A4 is too big and a personal too small). And I can also take it out and about without it being too heavy or taking up too much room. A great thing about A5 is that you can print out your own inserts (either with A5 paper or A4 printed "2 pages per page" and cut in half). There are lots of "free Filofax printables" online if you search. You will also need Filofax's own A5 Metal Hole Punch , as nobody else seems to do them at present. The only real downside is that the pen loops are also leather and not elastic. I suppose that means they will last longer, but are just about the right width for a Parker Jotter. Anything thicker won't fit, but this isn't a major problem for me. Other than that it's a really nice bit of kit, which I'm really pleased with, and well worth the money. Make sure you go to their UK website first, so you can compare all their different models and see more photos and specs.

Have been watching Planner videos on You Tube and thats where I fell in love with this Filofax Organiser, loads of people recommend it. It is even more gorgeous than it looks, I am absolutely thrilled with it...the quality is definitely worth the price. I had a Personal sized Leather Filofax cover for years and years, they last for a very long time. Wanted to upgrade to an A5 sized Planner so this, for me, is the perfect choice. Only two very minor grumbles. It arrived with a 2016 diary, I would have preferred one that started now (ie; an academic year one for 2015-2016), as I'm now going to have to source something for the rest of 2015. The other 'grumble' is the credit card holder that comes with it has side slots, and the cards keep slipping out. My friend's one has top slots so things stay in place. I'll be keeping an eye out for one of those instead. Also came with strong A5 Plastic Pocket that takes all sorts, good supply of multi coloured and various types of paper, a transparent 'dashboard' for both front and back, and 6 dividers. It did NOT come with any address/contacts supplies, which did surprise me, so will have to buy those. This Filofax will hold a lot of stuff, I'm very much into the current "Planner" craze, but have also been a Filofax user for over 25 years, you simply can't replace something like this with technology - I trusted everything to a Smartphone and lived to regret it when the system messed up and wiped it all out and backup failed to work, happy to return to a trusted method now. Highly recommend.

La mia nuova agenda A5, utilizzata non per pianificazione, ma come archivio di informazioni per gestione casa-lavoro-finanze. Ben suddivisa, grande, solida, acquistata in sconto nell'unico colore disponibile per questo prezzo: un grigio perla che il produttore indica cone "slate grey", grigio ardesia. Un grigio in realtà molto chiaro e molto freddo: elegante, neutro. Non avrei comprato questa agenda se il costo fosse stato quello di lancio, non vado oltre una certa cifra per questo genere di prodotto. Ho potuto acquistarla per 70 euro circa. Gli inserti di pianificazione sono dello scorso anno, bene gli altri. Ottima per archiviare qualche documento, c'è spazio per banconote, stickers, carte. Il pellame è gradevole al tatto e alla vista. Possiedo ormai 4 Filofax, due A5, una personal e una pocket. La Finsbury ora acquistata sostituisce la mia vecchia Domino turchese, assolutamente integra ma che utilizzerò in altro modo. Le altre due agende che possiedo sono della linea Norfolk. La Finsbury ha anelli più piccoli, è più sottile. Le Norfolk sono invece più massicce. Medesima qualità.

Agenda FILOFAX FINSBURY A5 à couverture rigide : finitions parfaites, très beau cuir grainé sans défaut, couleur framboise splendide ! Par comparaison, je le préfère au FILOFAX MALDEN A5 de couleur "fushia" ( en fait plutôt violine/cyclamen ) dont la couverture est souple, en cuir lisse avec surpiqûres sellier. Le Finsbury est de style plus classique, et pour moi ses 2 avantages sont sa belle tenue ( couverture rigide ) et sa couleur magnifique... très classe ! NB : j'ai guetté une baisse de prix : à moins de 75€, c'est vraiment une belle affaire ! 👍 Organiseur livré avec recharge multilingue 2023 (1 semaine sur 2 pages, journées en colonnes horaires ) + 6 intercalaires + feuilles de répertoire (contacts) + feuilles "to do list" + feuilles blanches, lignées et petits carreaux + feuilles lignées de couleurs + 1 pochette transparente.

Super, je l’adore

great

Bellissima agenda in vera pelle e bellissimo colore, un po' più chiaro di come risulta in foto. Completa di tutto: settimanale su 2 pagine, divisori, fogli vari per note e contatti, righello segnapagina. Pagata €44.60, pochissimo rispetto al prezzo sul sito filofax.
