Also I see what you mean about bendy card. I thought Filofax used a ring mechanism on card for the Temperley Ikat? The back of the binder is made to slot into the (so called) clutch bag.

I used an A5 size and what annoyed me was no closure as things fell out in my bag (I resorted to a headband to hold it together).

Could be a tight squeeze. You could slide it into the notebook slot though. <br />LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-79792058375984990892013-01-16T11:02:35.814-05:002013-01-16T11:02:35.814-05:00Thanks for that, I'll have a look.
