Paperchase patterned vinyl organiser

-
I may trade under the name of the Filofaxist but I have an appreciation of all things from the world of planners and organisation, so today's review is about a paperchase binder. 


  

Paperchase have been stockists of Filofax  products for many years and until recently had a good selection of quality items, sadly this seems no longer to be the case. They do offer their own range of planners, something I've looked at many times whilst browsing through their store, most of it looks like chintz, not something that appeals to me. 


I like my planners to be business like and functional, not flowery and pretty, I'm using it for work or ideas and sometimes journalling. This binder is only a half decent product with not a great deal worth getting excited about, not something I would pay full price for.
I can say it's not the worst binder I have ever seen nor is it the best, it's made of cheap plastic material, the inserts are plain and boring but it would at least perform it's main function of being a useful little organiser.

I would always rather spend my money on a good quality Filofax so it's no surprise that i'm not a big fan.If you can find a good use for it then it might be worth owning, i'm sticking this one on eBay though!

      Hi Saskia, you are probably quite right! I'd not thought who it would be marketed to, I'm more of a plain brown leather Filofax type of guy.

      I'm pretty sure Paperchase offer plenty of different sizes, the quality really isn't there though so be careful!

Galen Leather card book

I've had this in my stash for a few weeks now and haven't gotten around to doing anything with it, until now.  It's no bigger than a credit card and is ideally suited to fit in a wallet or possibly a card slot in a Filofax or organiser. Like many other Galen Leather notebooks it's made by Tomoe River and is very thin but also high quality. I'm yet to find a pen to go with it  but it's pretty unlikely I ever will! I will be keeping mine in my Filofax Malen Ochre Wallet as a back up notebook.

Seriously, will this ever end? I've been creating and updating this list for 3 years now, I love doing it but I never get chance anymore. I have a full time job, a business on the side and a ever-demanding 4 year old so never get time to do things for myself. This is the most up-to-date version for summer 2020 and I hope you like it. ​ This is my most up to date list of ring bound organisers, planners, and notebooks that I have found. There so many more brands out there than I could have imagined, I thought that this market would be shrinking in modern times, not expanding! Wherever possible I have added a hyperlink to the exact page that contains the organisers, if none are currently listed, I have linked to the main webpage or parent company. In some instances, I could not find a website for the manufacturer, so I have linked it to a google images search instead. On some rarer occasions, I have added a link to either an eBay or Amazon listing instead. This is by no m

Filofax Personal Chester-Tapestry

If anyone has any details on the production or dates of manufacture on this model please do get in touch,  the filofaxist at G mail dot com. I don't ever profess to be an expert at this but I do believe this is quite a rare Filofax and is known as a Chester "tapestry" which is no surprise considering the look of it! Whilst not to my taste the cover is quite smart and definitely good quality if not a little garish. The internal lettering makes no claims of it being made from Leather but it does feel like it, at least the outer part looks like leather. The inside has more of a PU leather feel about it but i'm not completely sure. The left inside pocket has 6 credit card slots and a full length pocket underneath. It of course has the brand name and title with is in a lovely gold print which gives it that extra feel of quality. There's another full length pocket on the right internal side, one pen loop and a press stud enclosure.
