Storage

Following on from my earlier post about 'collectors' and the 'collection' of Filofax organisers. 

How do you store your unused organisers? 

Here are some simple and common sense suggestions.

• Keep your organisers in dry conditions.
• Keep them out of direct sunlight, otherwise you might find the cover fades over time.  
• Inspect your stored organisers on a regular basis (set a reminder to inspect them) 
• Check the rings for surface rust. (See this post for tips on removing the rust)
• Use a leather care balm/polish only occasionally. Test it on an unseen section of leather in case of the loss of dye. 
• Don't store organisers pressed against each other. Organisers such as the Filofax Original are prone to colour transfer when stored like that. 
• Consider storing organisers in boxes or cloth bags. (see below) 

If you don't have the original box for your organiser, there are plenty of suitable cardboard boxes available on line. Search for 'cardboard shipping box or similar. UK link or USA link 

Similarly you can buy cotton storage bags quite cheaply. UK link or USA link

Van der Spek also sell their own branded storage bags. Link here

How do you store your organisers that aren't in daily use?
