Just a note for people who are contemplating the mini or pocket for wallet use. If you want just one planner/organizer for everything so both a planner and wallet and you live a simple life (ie. not a wife/mom, not a student, job does not require you to jot things down or have many appointment), then a pocket can work as your stand alone organizer. I use just solely the pocket size for 8 months straight and it works great.
Filofax should hire you!
1/2022 - Super video. Would like to see an updated version of this video for 2022, plus options for vegan or faux leather planners. I don't use leather, and it is so hard to find non-leather planners other than plastic ones. Looking for a compact small, wallet-sized vegan leather or non-leather planner (not plastic). Thanks so much!
Jennifer, I can't tell you how many times I have come back to watch this video! Thank you for your info!
Thank you super comprehensive. I am just getting into the filofax rabbit hole x
I'm a new Filofax user (I'm awaiting my Personal Finsbury to arrive) and still learning about the world of Filofax and all the different models. This video has helped so much! I've watched so many videos about particular models individually but seeing them all together and compared side by side has been really helpful! I had pretty much discredited the pocket model as something I would never use because I thought it was much smaller than it really is.
I've watched this video several times. I actually bought the Malden Purple personal, and Malden purple Compact Zip. I would say you did a great job. I would like the get a mini and an A5 later. I'm so excited and hope I get organized. I used planners when the kids were little but haven't since I've been single. I really could use it. I love to make list but lose them. So I think I'm on my way for organization. Thank you for a great job...and BTW I will still watch this video again. (wish they still have the gray color)
Loving your knowledge of organisers, such a pleasure to watch
Your collection is beautiful! Thank you for the in depth info on the many different sizes and varieties. I learned so much. I just ordered my very first Filofax I can't wait to get it. ;)
This video was a great help in helping me choose my next organizer
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this explicit explination. You helped me A LOT with finally deciding which Filofx I'm getting. :)
I found your video when looking for organizer sizes. Very helpful :) I didn't know what to get but after looking at this video I knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much
SUPER HELPFUL!! I've been trying to figure out which one to get and you just helped me decide. Thank you!!
this is the best video about different organizers i have seen so far. thank you! it helped a lot
This was really helpful! Ordered my first Filofax today and I'm so excited to start using it.
Thank you for the video :D
Wow! Amazing. Thank you for this video. Can't decide between Personal and Compact Zip.
Thank you so much ! I want to purchase a Filofax, and this provides just what I need !
snap! yesterday arrived my first filofax that I bought on ebay. It it cost me like 35 bucks frome some 2nd hand seller (very good one), and its an A5... but I should've seen this video before ordering. A5 is quite heavy, and I personally think I'm not gonna fill it all up. Personal should be the perfect for me as a begginer. Thanks for your video!
Ah, this is JUST what I was looking for! thanks :)
Awesome video thank you and helped me make my mind up about upgrading
Great researched video and extremely helpful.
thank you so much for making such a helpful and informative video. I thought I'd want an A5 but after watching this realised a personal will be much more practical. thank you 😊
Thank youmuch
very for the wonderful video about on how i should choose my organizer, excellent bec. actually if i do search and plan to buy one for me ,i have difficulty on which one to finally pick up.. now your ideas in this video helped and educate me more. thanks..
Thank you for this video. I have been wanting to invest in one with so many people swearing in them. I am a single mother college student working on becoming a nurse that has her own business so I am crazy busy and has to be organized or i will drown. I like the comparisons and descriptions you give because reading about them on the website I cant visualize as well as see them to figure out what I need. So again thank you and I am for sure ordering my first filofax.
Hey Purpley, I am glad I ran across this video..I hope it helps me..I'm driving myself crazy trying to pick a fliofax.
Thank you so much for answering all the questions I had!
Great video, really enjoyed watching ☺️ thank you for sharing your knowledge and showing your collection xx
Thank you very much! This has been super helpful for me!
Great video, love it. I was thinking to have A5 and the personal one, cuz I like to leave one n home and one on the go like go out. Lol
You are very good at making these videos, much better than Filofax own website! thank you for sharing with us, I always enjoy watching your videos :)
Do you work for Filofax?! I know this video is almost 4 years old, but you're probably the first person I've come across that has THE MOST number of filofax's lol...and you know quite a bit! They should pay you! lol
Linda C The part at 11:08 is incorrect. Filofax does not make a personal size with 25mm rings. Gillio Firenze and Van der Spek do. All Filofax personal size binders have the industry standard 23mm rings, except for a few rare vintage models like the Cavendish and Portland Grand, which have 30mm. Of course, this does not include Filofax Compact size, with smaller 15mm rings.
Great video, you personify the Filofax brand. I’m looking to buy a new organiser today, thanks for your guidance. Greetings from the UK. 👍
I love your collection . thank u for the in depth info. x
I'm so happy I just buy my first Filofax A5, For me is the best size because a used to have always normal agendas with the same size that the A5. And I have a cakes business so it's perfect and with this video I see all the differences between everyone. Thank you so much for this video, I can wait to have it, because I live in Venezuela and I ordered to be ship to my brother's in Fl. here do not sell washi tape and all the cute things that you guys used to decorate the pages It's to bad
Thank you Gilofsummer. It is a small world definitely! nice to meet you, Espero disfrutar pronto de mi Filofax aun no a llegado a Fl para que despues me lo envie mi familia a Venezuela.
Brilliant video! very informative and well-explained :) Thank you!
Mei-Ling Grey Thank you. I appreciate your feedback.
Jen,
Yep....found a new, still in box Panama on ebay for a great deal. It just arrived and it's lush! I had written to you because I just can't find a lot of info on this filofax.... It's almost too pretty to use, but I'll force myself lol. I have a pocket Maulden I'm using as a wallet.
Donna
Malden are great and I do own a personal size one but I just want to mention that they are slightly fatter looking than other organizers of the same size whether it be a pocket or personal or what have you. Since the leather is so flexible it can fit more than other Filofaxes of the same size. BUT if you are that kinda person that has way too many things to fit in and don't wanna go a size up then the malden is a good choice. I find it does get too heavy after a while.
thanks for this great video
Super helpful, thank you so much! 😄
hi there, can you write in the description all the sizes so I can go back to this video for reference...
I love this video and your collection but I wish I waited to buy inserts until after but oh well just buy another down the road
So helpful!! Thank you so much!!
Great video! I wish you would have included pricing on each planner.
I am from Venezuela too! and I have a personal size Chamelon and I love it! You will love it too ;) They are so precious
excellent video thanks so much for posting.
Best wishes
Billie
Thanks for the review. Very informative.
I LOVED this video...Thanks!
Another great video!!
Very informative video. TFS! I really needed this info. :)
Thanks for the video! I've narrowed it down to the pocket or compact, haha :)
Jen,
Great video. I love watching all of your videos and have learned so much from you. I am curious, have you ever heard of the personal Panama? I know it was available several years ago and I would love to learn more about this model if you have any information. Thanks!
I have been lucky to find multiple filofaxs in charity shops all for a few pounds each i have 12 and am using them as junk journals , glue books .and writing in them i adore them all.
Planner galore 😍
Such a useful video!!!!!
I'm going to choose the holborn personal for my 1st planner. And carry it with me. I love all the pockets. What do you think or would u choose differently?
Thankyou so much this helps alot
Dang I remember watching this channel al the time back in the day
Great video! What other pocket and mini size models with the full length pocket for cash? Other than the Malden, I mean?
What an excellent video. I will be referring to this often as I purchase a couple (lol) organizers. TFS
The A4 organisers don't accomodate US letter sized paper, but DIN A4, which belongs to the international standard (ISO) paper sizes. The A4 is exactly twice as big as the A5. In fact, if you cut down an A4 piece of paper by half, you get two A5. One of the advantages of the ISO sizes is that each size in the series is half the previous one, and all of them (4A0, 2A0, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10) have the exact same proportions, which allows for scalling. Each size is 70% the previous one, so that you can use a copy machine or a printer and scale an original 70% to get it printed in the next smaller size.
The Deskfax from Filofax holds the B5 size paper. Like the A series, the B series papers also keep the same proportions and each size (B0, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, and B10) goes in between two of the A series sizes. B0 goes between 2A0 and A0, B5 goes between A4 and A5, etc. The Filofax Deskfax has nine rings in three sets at the exact same distance as in the Personal size. Therefore, a personal insert would fit in either the top six or the bottom six rings.
For the sake of completion (LOL) the ISO C series (C0, C1, ..., C10) determines the standard size for envelopes, being each envelope size on the series larger than the correspondent A size, so that it can accomodate it inside. For example, the C4 envelope (229x324mm) accomodates A4 paper (210x297mm).
The A4 standard punch has four holes spaced 80mm (8cm). For that reason, that standard punch is also known as the 888.
where did you get your purple pen holder? Thanks!
Great job!
Hope u and your family are well. Loved your videos. Wish u were back
Hi! Yes, we are doing well. Thanks for stopping by and sending your well wishes. I'm glad you loved my videos. I can't believe that it was almost 10 years ago! How time flies.
Do you know where I can find a personal Malden with the 30 mm rings?
Sooo helpful, thank you! :)
So helpful! Thank you! :)
holy crap your beautiful =) Exactly the info I been looking for thanks so MUCH.
Thank you so helpful!!
where can you get the Filofax mini and pocket size personal organiser
Could you please tell me the brand name of your A5 filofax organizer? I love the soft thin cover.
Oh NO! You didn't show my favorite Saffiano filofax!!!! I LOVE your collection! There all look great!!!!
What are the cheapest Filofaxes cos I really want to get one but I am not sure which one to get
I use the personal size as I can tell by your explanation but the pockets on mine are very similar to the pockets on the compact ( except the zippered pocket)but mine has pretty large rings so does the person come in different pocket designs.
do you can make a video about websites with cheap filofaxes
Thank you very much for your helpful video! :3 Now I know that "compact" is the right filofax size for me! :D In Germany all CZcamsrs use only Personal or A5, so I have never seen a Compact before... =/
Fabulous video lots of interesting information :-)
Do you know what the charleston looks like on the inside.
Girl you have so much patience.
I am thinking of switching to a Filofax from my Covey. I have loved my Covey planner, but there is something very personal about the Filofax. If anyone out there that has changed from Covey to Filofax, let me know what you think?
Thanks,
Lori Mc
Would you recommend a personal size for high school students? Or would it be a bit too small? Just for exam periods and due dates, small notes, then other things in life.
Can I put personal inserts in a A5 ?
What is the one @20:00 mins the crocodile cover one it is lovely I'd like one of those
Wow what a collection I only have one and I got it at a thrift store for 1.00
Super helpful video. Thank you so much. I'm about to order my first Filofax but I'm not really sure which size to get. I found a planner that I really like however it's only available in either pocket or compact size. Which one would you recommend?
+AnnyLovesPink I would recommend the Personal size. With that you can judge whether or not you will need something smaller (Pocket or Compact), or bigger (A5). Good luck! =)
***** thank you but my problem is that the one i want isn't available in personal. i guess i will have to get two lol the pocket and personal one
Thank you - I know this is an old video but very helpful!
I'm glad you can still find it helpful! =)
Can I use slightly larger sheets in the personal Filofax? I really like the cover size, but I would prefer slightly larger sheets
Thank for doing this, very helpful! Hugs - Jess
Thank you !!!!
I keep getting the error code no stream
Great video Jen!!! TFS Hugs, T
Hi loved this video....I am just about ready to purchase........a Filofax Pocket Classic?in red?...but am still hesitating...this video has helped.....just wondering...do u think I will notice a huge...difference in the personal/or pocket? I'm scared..lol j.k.. but it IS a big step...thanks so much.............
There is a size difference. Think about how you would be using this organiser and what types of information you may be writing in it. It also will depend on your handwriting, do you write big or small? I think this post on my blog will help you determine that: www.mypurpleylife.com/2013/09/how-to-choose-insertsrefills-for-filofax.html

I was wondering, does the filofax inserts fit into a collins organiser?
Thank you for your question. Collins
organiser refills are designed to fit all other leading brands of
personal organisers, please refer to the size guide on the Collins website to ensure you
buy the right one.
Are They Moving Away From The Purple Malden Or Malden Period? No Finsbury. I Did Go The UK They Didn't Have It Neither. I'm From The USA Myself and They Don't Have Much. Are They A Seasonal Company? Enjoyed The Video. I Love Purple Myself. Many Blessings And All Smiles.
+myrene copeland
I know your comment is a year old, but had to respond. "Are they a seasonal company"? NO! Their history goes back to 1921 !!!!! Check this link!
www.filofax.co.uk/visual-history
This next link will take you to all the current filofaxes available from the UK company, don't know where you visited in the UK, but just because they didn't have either where you shopped, doesn't mean they aren't available here. And yes, they still do the Malden.

I want to buy one right now and use it. but it's the middle of the year. will the paper have the year or no year. that way I can fix it up and start at the month I'm using it
+sheila aini Thanks for your question. If you purchase one now, usually it will come with half of 2015 and all of 2016. I would suggest emailing them just to make sure.
Goes for drink and at the end asks if you want to come back to look at her filofax’s . I would
Ering if you happen to know which minis and.pockets do come.with the full length back pocket besides the malden and metropol??
I think this link will help you out. philofaxy.blogspot.com/2013/03/wallet-pockets.html
Thanks
Where did you get your pen loops?
Mochithings.com has some cute ones. I also get mine from The Container Store.
What is your opinion of their non leather models? I will not use leather, since I don't want a baby cow to be slaughtered for its skin. But I often find that many planners in a vegan material are not as durable and they often do not put as much care into the making..
