Filofax The Original Personal Organiser - Red

Perfect! Flawless leather and craftsmanship, lots and lots of inserts, calendar actually current year (this week I got stung elsewhere, where the calendar was 2 years out of date!), I’m very happy with the item and would buy again.

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.

I'm so glad I ordered this filofax organiser, I absolutely love the colour and has everything in there i need for my business great size ( personal) and love the fact I can add to it. Highly recommend

Beautiful little Filofax, gorgeous color. 4 stars because I ordered the rose pocket, but I received the patent rose pocket… I don’t like the patent models because they get scratches more easily, but I decided to keep it anyway because there wasn’t a replacement available for it... Also this planner came from Germany, I would have been informed about that. Overall it is very lovely.

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.

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!

Just what I was looking for. And the quality is great. Can’t go wrong with Filofax.

0 STARS! I have ordered 2 of these now. The first was used and inserts were missing and the second was received in a tien open bag with no box. See photo...
