Review - Personal Filofax Saffiano

Hello everyone,

I was graciously given the chance to review the Personal Filofax Saffiano in Bright Purple, one of the newest models from Filofax. According to Filofax.. "It’s all about the color. Sophisticated classic leather-look cover in bright on trend colors. Combined with simple personal organizer construction and clean lines." That is exactly what the Saffiano is :) 



The Filofax comes wrapped in this nice plastic - which is removeable but I feel like it's perfect for traveling or for storage. You can also feel the line pattern on the Filofax, similar to the chameleon and the osterley which have unique designs. You can actually see the lines in the image.

  In this images, you can see the texture of the Saffiano in more detail. 

Here are the front covers - one with flash (left) and one without flash (right). In person, the shade of purple is definetly the image to the right. It is a very vibrant purple compared to other shades of purple in the Filofax line. Although the material is not leather, the interior and exterior of the material is very soft to the touch. To me, it feels comfortable when touching it or taking it everyone not a little rough like the Finchey, for example.

Here in the Saffiano laying flat - with all the inserts. I had to hold down the Filofax because in the beginning it would not lay flat. It wasn't until I added my own personal inserts that the Filofax laid flat with no problems. 

In the front cover of the Saffiano, there are 3 credit card slots, and a pocket behind where you can slide in your items. Compared to most Filofaxes, the top of the pocket is left open, and not closed for easier access. The only downside is that it has 3 credit card slots. For someone that might use this as a wallet or to hold stationery items, this might be a problem since the pockets are quite long in depth but small in width. 
In the back cover, it does comes with a pocket but the pocket is open via the top and the bottom, which can cause things to slip out. The pocket is also stitched on both the left and right side, not allowing you to slide in any large size paper or items. The Saffiano comes with an one elasticized pen loop which will mostly likely fit larger pens. This is a great attribute since most Filofaxes do not have a elasticized pen loop, and finding pens to fit in the pen loop might be tricky. 
Overall, I feel the Saffiano is a win! It's a wonderful organizer and perfect for any Filofax lover. It's one of the best new range Filofaxes and it is now available on the FilofaxUSA website. It is available in the color Bright Purple and Aqua. The Saffiano is also very inexpensive. The pocket size is $39.00, and the personal size is $49.00.
