There is a small fee to customize each add on. I spent over $400 CAD for everything. The most expensive is the custom cover. The more customization you add, obviously the more it costs. Enjoy Japan next year!

Thank you! It really is so fun to make it into anything you want. Can't wait to see your plotter 😊

@@stationery.shenanigans I'll probably be ordering the plotter pen holder next time I do an order. So far so good with this alternative DaVinci. I will check your video! ☺️

Oh my, did your amzn jpn order get lost? How did they scam you? I know it is a risk if anything happens because I don't speak Japanese and calling customer service would be very hard if not impossible. I'm glad you got your money back but I'd be weary too if something like this happened.

Wow, I‘ve never heard of that happening before 😳 Thankfully your money got returned!

It is, mom's are the best! ☺️

Thank you so much ♥️

@@thejournalhouse I probably do in one of my hobonichi hauls. It's the hobonichi day free notebook.

Thx for checking out my video. The leather is really nice. It's soft but thick to be firm. Hope you can try it out one day!

@@toxmot Thank you, Tiffany - I'll let you know if I do :)

@@jilllin71 Glad you enjoyed, thx for watching!

@@fiopiccolo14 I must've missed it! I'll have to go check it out. Thank you!

@@Saturdays.Script I think it was around the same time when I started putting it in the crochet pouch. Can't say for sure but I guess it would make sense that the yarn could have made it darker. I guess I just can't win! 🙃

@toxmot I have a black crochet crossbody that transfers color to my clothes. I think burnished edges will definitely make it uniquely yours and give it a cool look! 😎

I can feel how excited you are to customize your new personal space! I enjoy it so much and like to change it up until I find the perfect setup. Just remember to take your time to add pieces you love to the space. Once you find the perfect desk, it will inspire other pieces to come into your space naturally. At least that’s how I feel. I was using a generic desk for years until I came across this desk at a discount price. Have fun with it!

It’s holding up just fine - the build quality is excellent for the price. I don’t tend to use it much since I’m not usually in the Pocket size notebooks. It’s one of those covers that I won’t worry about if I throw it in my bag. I wish they had more colour options though.

@@toxmot I agree and understand… I love that they are slim and I can toss them in my bags without the bulk. Thanks for responding!

This is the reason why I try to not use Moleskine - however, you may be able to use fountain pen with no bleed if you use an extra fine nib with dry ink. I think I’ve done it before with no issues! So it is possible.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Filofax. They really do have an international presence and I hope they will keep innovating and update their popular lines (and of course keep a standard of quality). I do also worry about some of our other favourite brands getting too big and then having to cut costs in production. For Filofax, I would have loved to get their Calipso organizer if it was readily available to me. I’ve eyed them for many years and it’s sad they do not offer it anymore. I’ve searched eBay but am selective about colour. How lovely that you were able to pick one up in Japan! I love the Bindex inserts so far, will definitely consider them for 2025 too. Yes, I agree that the plotters are priced so high, which is sad because I can’t justify a second one.

I purchased the pink one from the Starbucks Reserve in Tokyo. They are exclusives but you can purchase it online from Japanese Etsy sellers! The brass small one is the latest release from Traveler’s Company Tokyo collection which you can still get!

EXACTLY!! It’s such a design flaw…I returned mine back to Amazon. I hope they fix this in the future because otherwise I love the saffiano compact. My after-thoughts were that if the clasp can’t compensate for other bigger pens than tiny ones, why even make the pen holder an elastic one? It’s like a slap in the face. For the LV ones, it’s tiny and not elastic - feels much more intentional that they intended for mini pens only!

@@toxmot Good point about the pen loop! Totally agree! Why not make it fixed like the Lv to at least show it is for slim pens only!

@@unicaivah Filofax should hire us 😂

Thank you! I just love it so far. The leather is aging very nicely too. :)

So far so good! :)

Hello fellow canuck :) The custom fees did add up a lot at around $50 unfortunately. For us, I believe getting it from Plotter directly is the only option if you want a brand new one. Hopefully they will expand to retailers in Canada as well in the future. But you’ll end up paying for the import tax within the price either way. Another option is to check BST groups for second hand. Which plotter do you have your eye on?

That must have been so frustrating! I feel like out of all of them, FedEx is the one that gives me the most anxiety. I’m glad you ended up getting your second shipment but it sucks that the first one never arrived! They need to do better!

Thank you! I absolutely will be doing an update once I’ve broken it in.

@@angelaschneider571 Nice choice, I think the pueblo leather ages so well. My brown one is showing wear very quickly. The beige I think is the one that ages the best in terms of patina. Is this true? And yes, the rings I love so far!

@@toxmot you're right, the beige Pueblo ages fast and really nice. I'm totally in love with it! 😀 I also love the brown one. I'll be in NY in September and I'll go to Yoseka (that's where I ordered mine) and maybe I'll buy the slim Pueblo in brown.

That is so so beautiful and you are very lucky to be able to afford a Plotter ! Happy for you

@@SrirachaSandvvitch I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way about Filofax! However, my original Filofax has definitely lasted for years but it was purchased over 7 years ago. I was on Amazon Japan looking around before I decided on the plotter and saw that the Knox and Da Vinci brands have bible size in non-slim rings 🙂

@@toxmot Maybe Filofax is getting their rings from somewhere else... And oh, I forgot about Raymay DaVinci!

When I was making my decision into which colour to get, I watched all the videos and wished there were more. Different videos have different lighting so it always helps to see it in all types of lighting conditions. Which colours are you deciding between?

@@toxmot I'll be getting the Bible in either Brown, or Navy. But I too have watched all the videos I can. I woke up this morning and watched 20 of em. the brown looked really nice sitting on your desk. That is what I am leaning towards. This thing is so expensive for what it is, I'd hate to not love it.

@@robbourne1950 That's exactly what I was feeling too. I think both brown and navy are gorgeous. The navy in dimmer videos looks almost black to me. For reference, I filmed my brown in afternoon natural daylight. The photos in the Facebook group and Reddit really helped my decision too.

I think Plotter offers very unique textures and with that comes uncertainty especially if buying online. I hope the horsehair leather grows on you. The Shrink leather did not grow on me so I had no choice but to sell it. I’m much happier now with the Pueblo. I hope they come out with more colours in the Pueblo because it reminds me of the Traveler’s Company notebook leathers but softer.

@@toxmot Brown it is!!! Thanks 💜

I hear horse hair is pretty much pueblo just with scratches. I am considering getting one. What is it that you don’t enjoy about it, if you are willing to share?

I've never owned a Gillio before but they look divine. Glad to know the Krause rings can last. Thx for watching!

What a great price your filofax find was! It's impossible to see those prices here. I've seen ppl DIY the rings before and since you have those already, what a great idea! And I hope your saffiano doesn't come apart like mine did!

Interesting…to my understanding, saffiano is supposed to be a certain texture on the leather - so I have the same thoughts as you. I’ve purchased real saffiano leather before and this Filofax texture didn’t come close at all unfortunately.

That’s a much better price than what we’re getting in CAN :) I hope you love yours!

@@toxmot Hello I wanted to give an update. I got mine the day after I posted this comment 🤭. It hasn’t broken on me yet and so far so good. I just didn’t like the pen loop placement either so I cut it off.

@@DaisyzDayz That's so brave of you! I thought about cutting it off but really needed a pen loop. It's too bad the clasp doesn't accept bigger pens. I have since returned mine to Amazon.

@@yvettecasey-hunter1504 Nice, I think I’ve also seen those type of slip on pen holders!

@@yvettecasey-hunter1504 Interesting, I’m thinking it’s the type of glue that is on the saffianos. The glue on mine looks old and yellow. If I’d got it for half the price I wouldn’t be as bothered but still, something new shouldn’t come apart. I’m excited for the plotter but it’s definitely not cheap either 🙈

I checked out vintage Filofaxes and at the time I was looking, didn’t see any that caught my eye and there was very few. Definitely will stick with higher end Filofaxes for the future!

@@toxmot I have a filofax croc and it's really nice! but it is one of the most expensive ones, you might as well order a custom from vds unless you find a deal! I hope the plotter works though - it looks very sleek!

@@tortagialla I’ve been eyeing the croc one! It looks so luxurious. Maybe one day! :)

@@toxmot awhile back I ordered the pocket croc, and the leather was so dry I almost sent it back. in the end I oiled it and it looked better, but I should have sent it back. the quality was not there for the price.

Thanks for suggesting, I actually just packaged it up and will return it to Amazon. I am very excited for my potter! I checked out the Holborn when I was shopping around for my Filofax, will definitely be considering leather only options next time!

Thanks for watching! Have a lovely weekend too 😊

I’m sad about my Filofax, I really wanted it to work for me. It’s still a beautiful organizer though. I’m excited for my plotter though!

It’s unfortunate about the Filofax, I hope they make changes to improve in the future. I am excited for my plotter :)

Thank you, I am excited to share the plotter next :)

I agree, it’s not just Filofax; many other companies are also cutting back. It doesn’t make it ok but shrinkflation certainly doesn’t help. So far, ring bound for planning and bound notebooks for journaling is a great balance for my needs too. Hopefully I can be content in this for a long time and at least until the end of the of the year. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Yes, I will be filming a plotter video in the coming weeks! Thanks for watching.

Thx for watching - we used Sakura mobile but there are many great ones at the airport. The main reason why we went with Sakura was so I could purchase it in advance before arriving. It did take a bit of time to locate the kiosk but they provide an envelop to drop the device into a mailbox so that was convenient upon departure.

Oh interesting!
