I have not bought a new planner for years now. I use what I have, and sometimes find bargains in charity stores. For the past years I have been cycling through my pocket binders – Green Filofax Tejus, Black Van Der Spek Touch Me (what a great design!), Tan Filofax Belmont.
I spotted this Louis Vuitton epi leather binder in PM/pocket size on an auction a while back and could not stop thinking about it. At the same time, I sold two binders and a Hobonichi cover for the same amount as the binder cost. So I pounced. It came with box, dustbag, full refills, rulers and stickers.
I am happy with it so far. I really like being in a new cover, particularly after being in my same few favourites for so long. I use my planner constantly, and I really needed a refresh.
The LV dashboard is out of date but I like it, and keep my Oliclips on it. I have a silver one to match the rings but I prefer the gold one with the brown card.
That is a gorgeous colour. Pocket size is so handy, I’m currently using a VDS Junior. I prefer those without a full length back pocket.
I also have my VDS Touch Me in black on the go at the moment (for our upcoming trip), but I really needed an injection of colour after the winter we have had!
