Gillio Slim Compagna

This is the Gillio Slim Compagna in Rosewood Matt Croco printed leather. It's a mixture of red and brown. The photos are a fairly accurate rendition of the colour of the leather. 

This colour leather has been available for other Compagna models, but it has only recently been released in the Slim size. 

'Slim' size takes regular Personal size (Medium/Standard) pages (171x95mm). The 'Slim' is now fitted with 16mm Krause rings. You can't put these new Krause rings in to older Slim Compagnas as the mounting point distance is different at 131mm the older rings had a mounting point spacing of 118mm.

Slim is a popular size/model combining the size of personal with a relatively slim and practical size.

The interior. I was sent the gold rings in addition to the usual silver Krause rings. I decided this colour leather suited the gold rings best so I swapped them out, 


The inside front cover has a secretarial flap pocket with three card slots and a business card/ticket pocket at the base. 


The inside back cover has a secretarial flap pocket with three card slots and an elasticated pen loop. 


The Compagna Slim comes with the full width back pocket, which is useful for loose papers. 


The Krause rings measure 16mm internal diameter. Most Filofax Compacts use 15 mm rings. Gillio Compact might be a better description especially as it has a clasp. 


Thank you to Gillio Firenze in Belgium for supplying the sample for me to examine and review.
