Gillio A5 Compagna

For the last couple of weeks I've been revisiting my Gillio Compagna A5 in Navy Blue. I bought this a few years ago when they released the navy blue, definitely my sort of colour!

It originally came with 25 mm rings, but I've retro-fitted it with 30mm rings and they work just fine with no issues of overhang of the tabs and pen etc. 


Because the Compagna only has one pen loop I'm using a pen loop that fits on the clasp which came from Moterm, not the same colour I know but it works! Gillio now sell similar accessories, I will have to see if they do them in navy blue. 


This arrangement does work though and allows me to use my usual pen and pencil combination in my organiser. 

The internal layout suits my basic needs just fine. 


The back cover has a zip pocket and slip pockets too. It's a shame that the interior leather doesn't extend under the pockets. This is the back, but the front is just the same. 

Despite only having one fitted pen loop, I enjoy using the A5 Compagna, it's got quite a heft to it and the quality of the leather is very good and it does lay flat even with the full width back pocket.
