Filofax 2011? [Updated]

On Twitter this afternoon @Filofax_UK said (Tweeted):
Getting up close & personal with the 2011 range - exciting! What would you like to see next year...?
Personally I would like to see the Malden in A5. So what would you like to see?

And after pointing out this post to Filofax UK they posted on Twitter......
Interesting list, wonder if any of those will come true...? (raises eyebrow secretively)
The truth is out there.... keep posting suggestions....

  1. An update to the diary line to include a variety of inserts (day per page, week on 2 pages, etc) that are printed so they can be TABBED BY THE MONTH.

    Franklin Covey does it...DayTimer does it...Day Runner does it.

    Filofax, it's time!

  2. I agree about more choice in the diary layouts - in all sizes please.

    Also much more cotton cream, especially in the A5 size, and a brown today market in A5! Just because we use A5 for work doesn't mean we don't want to look stylish!

  3. Purple Malden! Or some equivalent super-soft, smooth (non-textured) purple leather cover.

    And I agree, more diary formats! Personal week on 2 pages vertical with space for notes at the bottom of the page.

  4. And if you don't quite know what Laurie means... see the Tri-note!

  5. Actually this format already exists, just not for Filofax US or UK. It's Jotje's vertical week on 2 pg that I want!

  6. All diary refills to be available in English (only)!!! We want more space to write in....

  7. A personal Ikon.

  8. I would like to see the City Dweller insert pack available in A5 size instead of just pocket and personal, I would use it in my A5, and never does a week go bye, where a customer doesn't ask for it. I have fed this back to my filofax rep, but still waiting in hope...

  9. As I posted on twitter: a cotton cream day per page, but with the appointments in the top 1/3 of the page, and the bottom 2/3 for notes and/or todos - I have way more notes and tasks than appointments, but for the few appointments I do have I still like to have time slots. Oh, and make this for both personal and A5

  10. The grocery list inserts they used to make. I still have some left that I just can't bring myself to use since I know they are history. They had headings like Meats, Dairy, Frozen, Household, etc. Loved these to bits.

    Agree that an A5 Malden is needed!

  11. An insert to the A5 planners that hold 5-6 A7 cards. That way I can keep track of tasks/projects in a more dynamic way than using lists.
    @Luminosity6: Have you checked to see if diyplanner.com has a template like the one you ask about. Otherwise there are plenty of people willing to help make one. That way you can print it yourself and use as many as you would like! :-)

  12. I agree....

    Diary inserted that can be tabbed by month (I have made some tabs to seperate the months but the fact that they don't divide exactly really bugs me.... but that probably says more about my personality than any-thing else!!!).

    LOVE my Malden personal... and would support Lauries idea of a purple Malden.

    Any idea when the range will be launched?

    ReplyDelete
  13. New range will be due in spring 2011 - still quite a wait!
    I also want a purple personal Malden, although I love the Crimson to pieces.The purple should be like the Imperial Purple (Finchley), not a raspberry or pinkish purple!
    And the A5 Domino in lavender and grape!!

    And tabbed Month-on-two-pages. And/or arrange the weekly pages so that we can insert monthly tab dividers without splitting the week in half.

    Laurie, if you still want those pages, drop me a line. Have just mailed them to David. The store was sold out, but I can try to order another refill for you if you'd like!

  14. Thanks Jotje! Actually I'm doing well so far with my 2 Days Per Page. But I think the vertical weekly should be a standard format option.

    And oh yes, how could I possibly forget my desires for a truly slimline A5, and A5 Dominos in pink, grape and lavendar!

    In fact, a slimline A5 Domino would be a very good thing, and so would a slimline A5 Finsbury.

    I can already hardly wait to see the 2011 selection!

  15. I would like to see the travel pack available on the US site, don't see where that should be difficult. I refuse to pay the freight from England, also the old motor running record. I still use them and am able to make my own, but they are really a useful tool for taking care of one's vehicles.

  16. My main wishes for 2011 are a storage-box like that and the re-establishment of the purse

  17. Ditto what Yvotchka said about pages tabbed by the month.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Jan - Dec cream tabs for the pocket size.

    ReplyDelete
  19. When I placed my order the other day on Filofax UK I tried to order more Personal size cotton cream blank tabs but there were none! In fact, there were no blank non-colored tabs at all!! Please bring back the cotton cream blank tabs!!!

  20. I´m looking forward to starting my Filofax-experience. Just ordered my first Filofax (a used 2003 Hamilton Personal) to use as my calender and GTD-organizer.

    Cannot wait for it to arrive!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Gah! I was going to treat myself to a new filo in Jan, but now should I wait for the new range? What's a girl to do?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Nellie, that's asking for the obvious, isn't it? Of course you'll buy one Filo now. And then another one after the new range is out ... ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm with the majority here in wanting more selection on the inserts in all sizes!
    Instead of coming up with new binders, they should try to focus their attention to the inserts. Think about it, most people will only buy one or maybe two binders, but inserts?? just see how Yvotchka and Laurie keep changing formats almost every month!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Absolutely! Hey wait a minute...

    Nellie, the answer is: if you see something you really like now, you should buy it because Filofax phases out colors and styles frequently. If you wait, it might be gone! But, if you don't have your eye on anything specific, and can stand to wait ;) it might be fun to see what's new!

    With that in mind though, it can take several months for new items to become available in some places. For example, the Malden didn't come to the US until October (or was it November?) and due to production issues the Amethyst Deco is STILL not available as far as I know.

  25. I agree with Yvotchka,,,,tabbed monthly calendars and PLEASE have cotton cream for A5 and more inserts etc.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I agree with many of the comments here - inserts that are tabbed by the month, more variety in insert colors, new edition Maldens, A5 slimline. I also like Plaiditude's request for daily sheets that are 1/3 appointments and the remaining page for notes/to-dos.

    I don't think I have anything new to add...

  27. I would *definitely* like to see a greater range of diary inserts, including day on two pages and week on two pages vertical, with appointments, which I've just recently had to acquire from the Netherlands by Jotje doing me a favour, since they don't have internet purchases on their website. In fact, many of the EU websites *don't* have internet commerce functions, which seems positively ridiculous given the technological age in which we now live. We may still adhere to paper diaries, and for good reasons, but we also want to order stuff online! Why can't there be one central FF site, with all the refills on it, and internet shopping-enabled?

    I'd also like to see more cotton cream options in terms of inserts offered - and if there was a global site with a global range, the increased throughput of orders would make this more economical for FF themselves. So come on Filofax....please let us have an up to date ordering system!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'd like to see more slimlines!

    ReplyDelete
  29. David, did the package arrive yet? Hope it isn't stuck in customs or (worse yet) in the snow ....

  30. Well, the Filofax sale prompted me to buy a personal Amazona in Almond.

    :)
