Filofax The Original Personal Organiser - Red

I ordered this Filofax in Pillarbox Red which is a lovely, deeps red,. As it was £25 cheaper than buying it from FIlofax direct I expected it to be old stock and come with an out of date diary but was pleasantly surprised. The planner arrived in an unbranded box and it protected by a clear plastic sleeve, it arrived in perfect condition. The design is very minimal and sleek and the leather seems thick and good quality. The planner comes with a diary, contacts pages, a ruler, lots of coloured notepaper, dividers and even a notepad which slots in at the back. A really good looking, unfussy planner.

Impressive collection of inserts inside a "never-going-to-lose-it" planner. Feels nice, looks spectacular (incredibly bright) and I can't wait to use it. It's such a practical way to manage your life. I've been watching far too many pinterest clips and reading blogs on how to organise your life and I can't wait to get creative and do things my way (washi tape, labels and post-it notes on order as well of course). Once it's all on paper it can get out of my head. I'm not a 'fluorescent pink' kind of person...or rather I didn't think I was till I saw this. Then again, I own 6 Filofaxes of all shapes and colours including a more professional looking A4 Raspberry Finsbury for work, so I'm going to use this for my more creative home life side. The personal size is great to transport about in a reasonable sized handbag and is sure to illicit some comments when you pull it out in a cafe. inserts include: - A 2016 diary (week on 2 pages), - 4 x 'to do' pages, - lined notepaper - square notepaper - blue, green and pink notepaper - contacts notepaper - narrow filofax notebook in the back with perforated pages so you can pull out your notes (shopping list perhaps) - ruler - clear envelope It's worth buying a 6-hole diary punch to insert your own paper as well. I purchased the Rapesco model which works really well. Treat yourself or a friend :-)

I have a fair few of the original Filofaxes but I always really just wanted this colour, and it hasn’t disappointed me. It is the prettiest, most girly pink and I love it! I am not so worried about the inserts as I make my own, however, they are ok. I am super worried about marking it though and so will make a soft drawstring bag for it as it will go everywhere with me, replacing the coral colour one I am using at present. I thought it would be pink enough for me but it isn’t! I could not be without a filofax and love the design of the original. It is very well made from the best quality leather. I took a risk and purchased for £45 with the description saying that there would be minor damage to the packaging and inserts, however, the actual Filofax and inserts are perfect but it arrived without the box. It also had the original plastic and tissue cover wrapped around it. Very happy as I’ve never paid full price for any of my Filofaxes!

This beautiful Filofax comes with a 2017 diary, notes, contacts, grid paper, dividers, plastic top opening envelope and a slim notepad. The colour is close to what appeared on my screen and looks even better in real life. The Original is made of a single piece of thick leather and the item feels well made. It has stood up to regular heavy daily usage during which I have thrown this from bag to desk and treated quite roughly and it hasn't marked or dented. The leather is patent but it's subtle as the colour seems to absorb a lot of the obvious shine that you get with the darker colours like purple and black. This looks good but at the same time is appropriate for business use. I enjoy using it and would recommend. One thing to note, as with any patent item, this shouldn't really come into contact with ink type - keep away from receipts, papers, documents etc as the patent coating may absorb ink.

The colour is amazing and the leather is very thick and of good quality, the refill pack that came with it was a little disappointing, only a few sheets of this and that and not a 2020 diary as much as a undated diary to write your own dates on. I bought this for work as carrying diary’s and note books etc was getting a nightmare to fit into handbags, at lease I can customise this with what I need into one folder. The only thing that lets this down is the size of the ring binders, I consider them a little small for an A5 organiser, and there’s plenty of room to make them bigger, by the time you have your yearly diary, contacts and dividers there’s more than half of the space taken up, then you have to work out what’s more important to fit in the rest eg. Lined paper, blank paper etc. Your not going to fit everything you want in there. I would of given it 5* if the ring binder was bigger

Purchased this item despite reading many negative reviews so didnt have high hopes for it to arrive intact. I was very pleasantly surprised. The organiser itself is top quality, no issues and really beautiful without any marks or imperfections. Clasp & metal binder working well. Many reviews had mentioned missing inserts however i received it all - a ruler, storage wallet, long thin notebook, 2025 diary, dividers, dotted plain & ruled paper (plus three sets of coloured lined paper), to do lists, address/contacts pages. i even received a 2022 diary pack (presumably they are letting customers do the recycling for them). Overall, extremely pleased since it was much cheaper than buying directly from Filofax.

What a shocker!!! I expected the outer cover to be stiff but when it arrived it was pliable and soft to the touch which is gorgeous. 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' (NI No., Bank/Building Soc No., Doctor, Dentist - this is in several languages) - 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 (hooray) - The Most Important Page Of All - The Filofax Registration page(*) (*) For those who don't know about this page, you register your Filofax on their website [...] and complete some personal information which gives you 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. Well, done, Filofax. I was delighted to find the diary has a vertical diary layout (those people who use Erin Condren 'Life Planners' and the like will know how beneficial a vertical layout is) where the day's hours are shown from 8am to 8pm but there is space to enter your tasks before/after if you need to. One thing I found out - and this is important to note - is that there is no guarantee what type of diary layout you will get from Filofax: for some reason, it's the luck of the draw - I don't know why this is so. HOWEVER, if you are disappointed and get a vertical layout and you'd prefer a horizontal one (or vice versa), don't feel that you have to settle with what you get: you CAN customise your Filofax, remember. I have another Filofax (the Domino A5 in turquoise) into which I've put the pages from an Erin Condren-type planner I had lying about: I just cut the pages down to A5 size (and also the Jan-Dec tabs which had a lovely quote on them) and used them in my Filofax instead of the horizontal diary that (unfortunately) came with that particular one. All you need is one of those paper cutters from craft shops and off you go. It also has two elastic pen loops, a slightly larger elastic piece (don't know what you'd put in there), a deep pocket (not a top-opening 'secretarial' pocket) and two slots into which you slide cards in from the left, not from the top, on the inside cover. Plus it has an original 'Filofax, The Original, Est 1921' button to close it with - gorgeous. If you want to keep it clean, I agree with reviewer 'Seahorse' - get a plastic cover for it, but I don't mind if it gets 'worn' over the years because it ain't going anywhere.

I love the Filofax Original a5 planners! I have eight of them all in a5 and use them for different purposes. The black is my desk planner (catch-all), the navy is for health (med, weight, moods, allergies etc), the nude for home management, the brown for finances, the red for Christmas, the purple for literature (books, magazines, etc), the fuchsia for leisure (parties, holidays, birthdays, projects etc) and the dark aqua is for my son with Down-syndrome as it is his favourite color and his room etc is also aqua. ;-) And yes, I am already looking for the next one as a travel planner to hold all passports, tickets, reservations, travel diary etc. You might think I am crazy but life is full of challenges and these binders make me happy and help me organise my days, keep track of things and save time. I love the smell and the touch of the leather. I enjoy making them look attractive from the inside - candy for the eye. :-)) I have had my black and nude one for two years and they still look like new. I also have two Original personal sized planners to carry in my handbag but I honestly prefer the a5. Its easier to print out a5 or a4 and fold it in half. When I have to take my boys to the doctor I can just grab the navy planner and I am prepared. I often make my own inserts to track things etc. When I read a book I tend do research on certain topics, make printouts and then put them in the planner. The glossy planners are just as beautiful as the non-glossy ones, only the non-glossy ones smell and feel more like leather. I love them both!

若干大きいかな？とも思いましたが、やはりこのサイズが、一番使い易いですね。

It is just beautiful such great quality!!!
