This one is rather special to me. The wonderful Karine saw it for sale in her group, thought I would like it and bought it for me from Jennifer, who had posted it for US sale only. I paid Karine, Karine paid Jennifer who sent it to Karine who sent it to me. It was beautifully packaged with bubble wrap and support inside the rings. There was a little note from Karine and a card from Jennifer inside it. The binder itself is gorgeous – Gucci, soft and supple with the most beautiful graining and leather lining inside flaps and pockets. The colour is divine – rich and sumptuous. It is flexible but not floppy and the square corners are something I love which you don’t see very often – one of the reasons I love my Kensingtons. Thank you Karine for going out of your way to help me with this, and Jennifer for the gorgeous card and message.
Karine has the blog The Streamlined Life, which has a corresponding Facebook Group. Karine describes her work as Bringing order to your whole life by planning, tracking + designing small + permanent habit changes. I am always inspired when I see her posts in my Facebook feed as I am in her Facebook group.
Hi Janet, I’ve looked at your blog often but this is the first time I’ve written. I bought the gucci planner off ebay after looking at yours. I’m sure I read somewhere in your blog that there’s a serial number on the inside of the secretarial pocket. Or was I mistaken? Mine doesn’t have it 🙁
Yes mine has one but it was quite hard to find.
Lovely! Interesting to see a rare secretarial flap.
I had the luxury of handling this planner and it is a true classic beauty. It epitomizes 1980s Gucci. I hope you use it in good health, Janet.
I was lucky enough to hold this planner in my hands and it is a true classic beauty. It is the essence of what Gucci was in the1980s. I hope you will wear it and use it in good health, Janet.
