On FFAF #32, our readers got a really great thread going about their preferred Filofax sizes and how they use them. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's really great reading!
I saw one on EBay in January or February. It wasn't in great shape, but I would have liked to get it. But early on it went up fairly high, and I think it went for over $100.
They do have quite an allure, but I'm not totally convinced about their practicality. Anyone with a desire to try a duplex binder could consider the example available here. Of course it's not so luxurious as a vintage leather model, although Filofax themselves also used to offer non-leather duplex variants.
On a different subject, I enjoyed the column here on index cards, which have a lot in common with the good old filo. I guess cards encourage you to lay them out and arrange them, and have more of a physical "presence" because of their thickness. They don't have such a convenient binding mechanism though. (BTW The "alarming effort" mentioned in the column can be found more conveniently here.)
Has anyone seen a Piazza organizer that didn't have the suede inlay? I ask because I recently won an eBay auction for one that has a leather inlay with a crosshatch pattern on it. Definitely not like I'd seen in stores. This was also not obvious from the photos.
I'd like to think this is authentic but can't be sure. The quality is top notch tho!
I have a personal Piazza in citrus that has the leather inlay with crosshatch pattern. I got mine directly from the Filofax website. I love mine, hope you enjoy yours too!
Does anyone else remember or have a Filofax Duplex binder?

Not made any more, and I've not seen any on Ebay either?

Hey all!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen a Piazza organizer that didn't have the suede inlay? I ask because I recently won an eBay auction for one that has a leather inlay with a crosshatch pattern on it. Definitely not like I'd seen in stores. This was also not obvious from the photos.

Has anyone seen one like it?
Thx! :)
