Filofax Chameleon in Personal Size

-
I'm just in the process of having a good clear out after having moved house a few months ago, 
finally I'm getting around to sorting through the far too numerous binders and planners that I have. I was lucky enough to buy a large box of Filofaxes late lest year, 10 in total, I chose a few that I wanted to keep and plan to sell the rest via eBay. Today I am featuring the Filofax Chameleon in personal size, a organiser considered to be of high quality and potentially somewhat rare.


 This binder is made from leather and came in a variety of colours, externally it has a leather clasp with a stud and a rippled effect finish. When sold as new it would have contained a diary, a selection of papers and dividers as you would expect.

Whilst it's not my personal taste the whole planner has a quality feel and look about it and would appear to appeal to the upper end of the market.


Internally it has 23mm rings in stainless steel which has the Filofax logo etched onto it along with a pen loop made in the same leather as the organiser. On the left hand side there is a large pocket and top you will find space for 6 credit cards and another slot for a notepad or accessories.


 On the right (internal back) side you will find a zippered pocket wish would be ideal for storing coins and notes. It does only have the one pen loop, but I feel a 2nd loop would probably get in the way. Without being at the risk of sounding sexist, I would propose that the organiser is probably aimed at a more female market, however, I would quite happily use this as a secondary binder or maybe a place to store extra papers.



The binder overall is quite rigid and I find that difficult to deal with, I'm a Malden user so I love lots of "fold-ability" and this definitely doesn't have that. Many Filofax fans do like a more rigid organiser so with this one you wouldn't be disappointed! If you were considering to make a purchase of a chameleon I don't think you would be unhappy, it's definitely one of the better models that Filofax make and one that appears to still be quite popular.

    I think you mean that the rings are 23mm not 2.5 mm ;) Measure the internal diameter.

    Steve, you are of course absolutely correct, i'm still learning! I have amended my blog post accordingly. Is there such a thing as a Filofax rings size guide?

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

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

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.
