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.


The rings are perfect on this one, the central spine even has a Filofax "F" logo in the middle.



As I bought this one from a charity store it does have some minor damage, time to get sewing!

    Just stumbled in here, oops!

    I have the very Chester Tapestry as pictured above. They are legend to be almost as rare as hens teeth. It was gifted to me by my daughter, must be 20 odd years ago. It has been a well looked after present, superceded by a plain grey Urban. Nothing wrong with the Tapestry, it is as new and lives the looked after role of contacts and address/phone book,the Urban my day to day all in one tome. I value both, they are with me to stay.

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

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.

Updated List Of Organisers

-
Well Christmas as usual has been a whirlwind and eaten up all my time but finally i'm back in the office getting on with things. First up is my list of organiser brands that you may have seen before, I've added about another 40 names I have found over the last few months. I have also added 2 new sections, branded Filofax and Funfax, I will be reviewing these in a blog post very soon. If any of you have any examples or photos you would like to share, please do so in the comments. ​ I’ve spent the last few months trawling the internet searching for websites that are related to planners and organisers and here is what 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
