I own one A5 vintage pink Malden (very crinkly), one red personal and two mini Maldens of which I adore the mini in grey the most. Why that? Of course for the quality of the binder especially the leather quality that counts as high as a proper ring mechanism. And here is my mourning point: neither of them have increased over the last decade.

I had seen Maldens when they first came out several years ago, when they were buttery soft, squishy and floppy. When I got mine I was enormously disappointed with the dry, crinkly leather. Despite multiple cream treatments it never got better. Also it was so stiff it closed on its own, and when I tried to get it Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-51749469224186521062014-04-21T00:47:12.905-04:002014-04-21T00:47:12.905-04:00Felt this way when I finally got my hands on a per...Felt this way when I finally got my hands on a personal Baroque. For a long time I lusted over photos of them online. Contacted several owners asking them if they would be willing to part with theirs. Went as far as contacting Filofax retailers worldwide and finally got one shipped to me all the way from Switzerland (I'm from the US), paid a whopper for the Filofax itself plus the Simply Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146196026133917319noreply@blogger.com
