FilofaxMalden Leather Organizer Agenda Calendar Bundle with DiLoro Ballpoint Pen (Ochre 2023 With Pen, Pocket Paper Size 4.72" x 3.18")

I have purchased many planners over the years... Daytimer, then multiple Franklin Covey, a couple of zip around Kate Spade. I have a very nice Franklin compact in a similar style that works well, but that style is no longer available. I think this Filofax is nicer and the brown will wear better. The leather is nice quality, very soft and smells so good. It has card pockets, small zip compartment and an area in the back to slide in a note tablet. The calendar paper inserts that came with the planner do not have enough space for my needs. I prefer my Franklin Covey compact 2 page per day pages. Those pages will fit in the Filofax Personal size, but the tabs stick out a little. That does not bother me. The pen holder is a perfect snug fit for my Zebra F-301 fine pens. Larger pens will not fit and there is no elastic to add any stretch. It came with numbered 1 thru 6 tabs which I am using; a clear page protector; note pages and more.

The softness of the Malden feels so good. I really love my planner and me being rugged and stashing the planner in my handbag has really held up very well. Durable and even if it would get a few scratches from being inside the handbag, a little leather conditioner if needed and they will seem to disappear and give the planner character. It was worth the money I paid.

Beautiful. Appears just as advertised. It's a little less structured than I anticipated but I had no idea what to expect and I'm fine with it; it's not floppy by any means, just a nice soft leather, and all the pockets front and back are awesome. Because it's soft it's easy to cram those pockets full and it handles it well. The rings are a bit stiff but I imagine they will get easier with use; they are aligned well and operate properly. I Love it.

This is a beautiful color and works well. Personal is the perfect size and that is coming from a person who used an A5. The leather was uniform in color and will last for a long time. I carry this daily and have yet to see any wear.

Love the color and the smell of the leather. Just wish I had purchased a personal size instead of a pocket one. Other than that, it’s great!

This is my second filofax Malden. The first is an A5 in ochre. This one is a personal in Iris. They're absolutely supple and delightful to the touch. Lots of pockets and organization, and will last for many years

I was nervous that this A5 would be to big but it is perfect size. I love this size for journaling and everyday use. It is easy to write in and add different dividers for what a person needs. Love the quality and leather of the filofax. I have purchased other brands and never liked them like this filofax. It was hard to justify the cost of filofax but once I did I know it will be the last one I own. The quality and design is superb.

I actually think the item that I received is genuine, Filofax has just slashed the quality of their products. The personal size in my photo was bought about 6 years ago, and it's been sitting on a shelf unused for the vast majority of that time. It's had the lovely darker/more mottled look since day 1 . The A5 that I just received looks awful in comparison... like its been painted or something. I did end up placing an order for a second A5 to compare & return and they looked basically the same.If you order this, don't expect the leather to look anything like the photo.
