The flaps are meant to hold the index strips in place, although I can't say how securely they wouldgmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772023016889832202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-60577015699774479052014-11-12T03:08:52.584-05:002014-11-12T03:08:52.584-05:00Yes, it seems to have the same purpose.

They measure 3" by 1/4" (full page width) and are said to be held in place by some kind of transparent flap (made of acetate they say in the Filofax Catalogue).<br /><br />Maybe the use of Post-It Notes has knocked off the Datex.Dirk Mehldauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971555081550154032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-13633429094408481732014-11-11T19:46:45.201-05:002014-11-11T19:46:45.201-05:00Thanks for your reply.

I didn't realise there was this air of secrecy or mystery around the subject!<br />I often see planners for sale on eBay/other places that are advertised as discontinued but find there isn't really a way to confirm this. It also seems particularly difficult to ascertain when it comes to colours rather than models.

Sometimes Filofax even moves stock between countries to enable sufficient supplies to be maintained in a particular market whilst phasing that model out in other countries. Dealers get regular literature updates about models and colours being discontinued, but that rarely reaches us, the customer.

Items may quickly sell out at one retailer but remain in stock for years at another. This is, apparently, why Filofax is reluctant to disclose the official discontinuation status of a model; even if it has been discontinued and will no longer be produced, it may Josh LaPortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772883862662679235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-62058633004984179342014-11-11T15:38:24.922-05:002014-11-11T15:38:24.922-05:00Interesting.

Is it simply a case of it not being on the Filofax website? It's just because there are some models/colours that are not available via Filofax but there are plenty of them via sites such as eBay/Amazon/WHSmith etc. For example, the Pocket Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-46551314237996960662014-11-11T09:30:42.627-05:002014-11-11T09:30:42.627-05:00I wondered if anyone has any experience of the Mal...I wondered if anyone has any experience of the Malden Large Zipped Purse? http://www.filofax.co.uk/malden-large-zipped-purse-2.html<br /><br />I want a new purse for Christmas and as Mulberry is sadly out of my reach, I spotted this and thought it would be a nice leather alternative (and stop some of my craving for something in the Malden family).<br />I wanted some more detailed pictures of the Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593515473807107735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-67990978562510992422014-11-11T08:54:26.899-05:002014-11-11T08:54:26.899-05:00Did you print the blank first page?
