A big thank you to one of our readers Maria for sending me these scans. The leaflet came with a Filofax Kensington she bought recently that looks like it was 'New Old Stock' a great find in red from 2001.
Technology has changed a lot in the last 20+ years, but our Filofax organisers have not changed that much!

When Filofax introduced the Filofax Norfolk models and the Malden Compact Zip in 2022, I noticed a variation in pricing between UK, France and USA.
I took a snap shot of the prices at the time of the launch and the exchange rates applicable on that day in early December.
This is what I found:
Since then the USA prices have been changed on the Norfolk models, the Compact Zip price is still the same. Today in mid January I did the same exercise but widened the scope of the models to compare. Here are the results, again using the same methodology and the exchange rate on the day of the sample.
The exchange rates have changed of course, but using France as a comparison to USA, the range of price increase variation is much less compared to USA. (103.84-124.08%= 20.24% compared to 108.66-141.82= 33.16%)
Filofax as a whole has to make a profit and has to cover its costs of shipping and selling in different markets etc. Therefore the prices will vary between markets, but should the mark up on different models and sizes vary so much?
You might think if you live in the USA that you might save money if you shopped on Filofax UK, but don't forget to take in to account bank charges for foreign currency exchange, shipping costs etc. If you are in Europe and buying from UK you also need to take in to account import duty and handling fees.
Have you ever purchased a Filofax from an overseas Filofax store?
