After writing my previous Free For All Friday about my top reasons for still using a Filofax, it occurred to me that I had left out something about how I find them enjoyable and tactile objects to use. I’m a frugal person by nature, so once upon a time I would’ve only purchased the cheapest ones available, but I had some birthday money saved up, so instead I treated myself to a more expensive leather one when I bought my first one. I attended a Catholic school for a couple of years, which was mostly taught by the nuns there, so I think a Filofax also reminds me of a very much loved and used leather bible that my favorite teacher owned.
I love the patina that a leather organizer can develop, and how it softens and improves with age. I think that Janet’s vintage Van der Spek has aged so beautifully and has so much character.

Do you have a preference between organizers that have patina or ones that look like they were when purchased?
And as always on Fridays, please feel free to discuss anything organizer related. I hope you have a great weekend.
