Sweden is a small country (only 9 million people). It is also a country that has always been at the forefront of both developing and using new technology. So in a country where the digital influence is really strong, why can they still have Filofax binder models and a wide range of inserts which are not available in any other country?  Sweden has surely proved that the market does not necessarily need to be large in order to offer such things. Why does the UK not follow the same model I wonder?

    1. That is what I find so strange, as Sweden is a much smaller country. And the Swedish paper is so much better too. I guess it is all printed in the country where it is sold.

      1. Presumably these are seasonal and they restock over the summer? If so, and if you remember, please would you post the link? I use a French diary most years, so hey, Swedish inserts will be cool!

      1. Hi,
        Following your post, I bought the planner and love it, but am now unable to find the refills.
        I checked the link above, to no avail! Any help welcome!

      2. I will have a look the next time I am near a place that sells refills if they have any that I can send to you. I cannot promise though as I have just realised that I have not seen them for a while.

  5. Oh what a question? Perhaps because Filofax UK are chasing the fashionable rather than the workable? Wish these binders were available here; they look rather good items for a teacher to have!
