Filofax A5 Finsbury raspberry 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 :)

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.

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! The cover is textured, not smooth, and is soft and slightly padded. Inside you get: - 6 tabs labelled 1-6 - 4 x 'To Do' pages - 8 x lined pages - 4 x graph pages - 6 x plain pages - 8 x 'Contacts' pages - 8 x coloured lined pages (grey, green, rose) - 2017 months on one page - 3 x pages of 'Personal Information' - the usual 'world time zone' pages that no-one ever uses - 1 x plastic pocket (top opening) at the back - 1 x unruled pad that slots in on the back cover - 2017 diary - VERTICAL LAYOUT - The Filofax Registration page(*) (*) This enables you to register your Filofax on their website which issues you with a Registration Code that you insert on the reverse (keep a note of this number somewhere separate). If you lose your Filofax, whoever finds it can ring the relevant number printed on the sheet, and FILOFAX will either pick the Filofax up by courier or send a pre-paid envelope to the finder and return it to the rightful owner. Now THAT'S what I call attention to detail. It also has two self-coloured pen loops front and back (not elastic), 6 credit-card type slots inside the front cover (one for a photo) and also a zip running along the outer edge of the front cover which is very useful. On the inside back cover, you can slip in an A5 note pad if you wish. NOTE: this version DOES NOT have an original 'Filofax, The Original, Est 1921' button to close it - it's just the raspberry leather, button-less. If you want to keep it clean, I agree with reviewer 'Seahorse' - get a plastic cover for it but as it's a darker colour it won't necessarily show the dirt. This one's a keeper!

I've lusted after Filofax since I was little, when my favourite teacher in primary school had one. Back then I had to make-do with a FunFax (remember them?), and I have no idea why it's taken me so long to buy myself a proper, grown-up Filofax. However, after getting fed up with those slimline diaries you can get anywhere, I decided to invest in something that will last. This Filofax is a gorgeous raspberry colour - it's a pinky-purple, rather than Barbie pink. It's a Personal size binder, so it's not too large, and is easy to carry around as your everyday diary. It has lots of useful slots on the inside front cover (for books of stamps, credit cards etc). On the back cover is a zipped pocket and, of course, the all-important pen loop. It came with the Filofax week on two pages 2014 diary inserts in white - these are OK, however you do get some show-through depending on what pen you use. I think I will order the Cotton Cream paper for next year. You also get five card dividers, a large names/addresses/websites section, several to-do pages and lots of notepaper in shades of white, pink, blue and yellow. Oh, and the ID page - don't forget to register your Filofax! Overall, I am very pleased with this binder. I like how you can customise your inserts so you only have what you really need. I envisage this item planning my way through several years to come!

I'm a big fan of Filofax and have had many versions. I felt like it was time for a new one and was delighted to find this at such a reasonable price. The Filofax itself is a raspberry colour and feels really well made. It comes with a 2017 diary and has many pockets for various bits and pieces (receipts, documents etc). At the front, there are some card slots and a slot for photos. The ruler/page marker it comes with is also super handy. In my opinion, it is the perfect size for your handbag. I would have loved to give this five stars as it is lovely and a super price. My only issue is it doesn't come with a box. This isn't an issue for me, but it would be if it was a gift. I would also have expected it to be boxed at its RRP. I would still give this 4.5 stars though and highly recommend it.

I wanted something that I could sit in front of customers with. Its a gorgeous colour, it opens flat and stays flat (I believe the smaller ones don't from past experience) It looks professional and at this price as apposed to the RRP price it is superb value! It comes with the 2014 diary already in there amongst the notepad, address book and 'things to do' pad. A lovely thing to have, I should imagine it will last a long time as the leather is good quality. Great to receive as a present or to treat yourself to something that you can use for organising yourself in your business and personal life!

Already a fan of Filofax binders, I bought this personal-sized Finsbury from the 'Used' section of Amazon, and was delighted to receive this obviously brand-new product (still in its wrapping, except that the plastic sleeve was upside down). The outside is very attractive 'pebbled' leather with a stitched seam running around the outside of the binder, and the Filofax 'F' logo embossed along the spine at the bottom. The binder does not lie 'flat' when first opened, but can be 'trained' to do so. Inside, the left side has two rows of three credit-card sized notches running top to bottom, with a full-height slip pocket running behind the credit card pockets. The back cover has a full-height zipped pocket with the zip on the right, and a leather pen loop is situated under the fastening flap (which is secured with a press stud). This binder contained a current diary, a set of dividers, a plastic pocket, a plastic fly-leaf, and a selection of other inserts. I am very happy with this binder, and would definitely buy Filofax from Amazon again.

Love this Filofax. Worth the extra money. Feels and is high quality. Beautiful colour too and feels nice leather to touch. It has many options for how to lay it out inside and all different inserts you can get. I recommend looking on YouTube for Filofax ideas of what others are doing with theirs. There are creative ideas you'd never even thought of. I upgraded to this from a Personal Pink Domino and this is so much more luxurious and more room to write. The personal was too cramped. It takes up more handbag space for sure but I don't mind that. It's been carried around a while now and still looks like brand new. I love to write and plan in it.

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.

Super!

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
