ReplyDeleteI don't think you or I are the intended market for this one Joseph...
DeleteYou will either love it or hate it..
DeleteI am the intended market and I still don't like it! :)
ReplyDeleteNever mind... I've seen a lot lot worse in recent years!
DeleteRamsey, that made me LOL! I agree...
DeleteWhat are they thinking off? To me it seems that the trend is really girly style. Ugh. I really don't like it.
ReplyDeleteYou see how the print is larger on the strap than the rest of the binder? I *might* have liked this if it was all like that but the smaller sized flowers just look too busy to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Amanda. I would have preferred it with the larger print. This is one I will do without.
DeleteI'm glad I'm not alone on this, I will just keep on saving up for my aqua Malden instead.
DeleteShelf paper pattern?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the interior is pocketless like many of the other non-leather styles this year?
ReplyDeleteNo. For £26 you just get two pieces of polyurethane - one floral and one plain - glued together with a rivet ring sandwiched between them. No pockets (interior or exterior).. No pouches. No zips. Lots of profit.
DeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteMy granny had a frock with a pattern like that!
ReplyDeleteStrangely I really like it - maybe I'm getting all girly in my old age... :-)
ReplyDeletevery much my grandmothers planner..
ReplyDeleteI quite like the print - I wouldn't buy it now, but I might have done 10 years ago when I started using a Filofax as a student.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER - I really can't see why anyone would buy this rather than a paperchase organiser, which would be:
a) cheaper
b) have pockets
c) have a diary included
and d) have a wider choice of this sort of printed design.
I know where I'd spend my £26 if I were looking for a fun, cheap planner. I guess the more expensive price is for the 'Filofax' name?
Ewwwww! And I love flowery things usually. Just horrid.
ReplyDeletecute girly flowers can be produced in print in a really tasteful way, not sure what happened to this though...
ReplyDeleteShame that there are no pockets. But I do like the look of it. Very 70s. Wouldn't use it myself, but my DD would love it. I guess it's geared towards 10year old girls after all...

ReplyDeleteI agree with Jotje, another binder aimed at youngsters. I'm probably sounding peevish but I guessed it was yet another of the basic pocketless binders when the description said 'internal faux suede lining'. I just don't get why so many of these and invariably aimed at little girls.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colours, but very much for a teen. Maybe it has been launched just for the teen Christmas present item... as Christmas shopping will be coming up soon.... but not too soon I hope!!!!
ReplyDeleteDesigner on LSD?!!
ReplyDelete.. Probably high on the polyurethane (pu) trying to make it look like faux suede! I predict large numbers of these at less than half-price in TK Maxx this time next year..
DeleteAs Karen from "Will and Grace" might say, 'Filofax, that organiser hurts like a hangover'.
