Filofax A5 Finsbury Organiser - Black

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.

Just received this purchase and really pleased with it. Just what I needed. After having a personal organiser for many years, I decided that I needed something a little larger. This is ideal, beautiful colour, lovely leather lots of inserts. Highly recommend.

I couldn't make my mind up about the colour of the Raspberry A5 Filofax as they are so different from the advert picture. Wow this Filofax is extremely beautiful very well made with really soft sturdy leather, it has a bouncy feel to it and surprisingly quite large, an A4 was definitely not needed. It felt like Christmas morning opening the parcel to reveal how lovely it was and the amount of inserts amazed me especially as I'd ordered them separately! There was obviously the full 2021 Diary, Contacts, To Do Lists, Coloured paper, Numbered Dividers, Plastic Insert, Ruler - don't remember this amount of inserts years ago? The actual folder has a zipped pocket, card pockets one window and pen holder at the front and large pocket plus another pen holder at the back. I've decided the problems with mobiles are to stressful and have gone back to a physical file of facts! Superb not only do you save money but get a fantastic Filofax as well. Best item ever ordered from Amazon!

Ottimo prodotto e pellame, bellissima.

Ein hochwertiger Organizer in einem tollen Flieder-Blau-Ton! Die Farbe auf den Bildern entspricht der tatsächlichen Farbe 1:1. Der Organizer ist zudem sehr gut verarbeitet; dass es echtes Leder ist, sieht man. Ich war außerdem sehr positiv überrascht, dass er bei Bestellung in 10/2023 bereits mit Einlagen für 2024 kam!

Sehr schöner und hochwertiger Organizer. Filofax halt! Alles, rund um Bestellung und Lieferung auch perfekt.

Die Farbe ist der Hammer .....das Leder sehr weich und der leichte Ledergeruch sehr angenehm.Aktueller Kalender ist vorhanden.Mein neuer Liebling

Avevo già un'agenda filofax in ecopelle formato A5, mi sono trovata talmente bene che ho voluto investire in un'agenda esteticamene più bella. La scelta, tra le tante Filofax, è ricaduta su questo modello, e devo dire che mi ha soddisfatto, sia per il colore, sia per la presenza di anelli grandi e comodi anche la qualità della pelle è buona. Oltre ai vari inserti che non sto ad elencare essendo in descrizione, aggiungo che mi è arrivata con refill agenda anno 2023.Unico difetto, a mio parere, è la chiusura, avrei preferito la linguetta un po' più grande.Non la tengo in borsa ma la trasporto da casa/lavoro nello zaino con il pc.
