  1. Hello Mr Philofaxy! When purchasing a filofax binder, if someone wanted a binder that could stand the test of time (from what's currently available at the filofax stores), I would guess that person would pick a leather binder. However, are there among the leather binders differences in the quality of the leather, and if so, which would have the best type of leather?

    1. I have the late noughties "Kendal" in oiled leather which holds up amazingly to wear and seems to soak up damage, so while I know you asked for current models, I recommend taking a look at the secondhand models as well.

  2. There are massive differences in the quality of leather used. Steve wrote an excellent post in 2017. https://philofaxy.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-perfect-organiser-part-4-leather.html?m=1

  3. I've been using an A5 Malden for work for 3 years now. I work from home 3 days a week go into work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so it's constantly shuttling back and forth between the house and the office. It's a slightly rustic/vintagey-looking design, so any scuffs or scratches make perfect sense (as opposed to my shiny Lockwoods, where I don't deal with scuffs so easily). It's heavy, which some people might not like, and certainly adds weight to my bag, especially since I have it stuffed. The upside to the weight is that it lays flat beautifully. I'm very happy with it.
