    Thank you for the review. Filofax is really popular in the planning community and I would have gone with the Filofax without this side-by-side. I like that Amazon better as far as functionality. And, you can't beat the price!!! You did a great job. Thanks again!

    I would try out one for a whole week. Then try out the other for a whole week. Which is more convenient for you, you keep and use. The other you send back or use for a giveaway.

    Omg thank you! I literally have both brands in my cart and was looking for a comparison! I know a lot of people have an issue with Filofax price and say you get more with the Amazon one. While that is true, if it’s affordable, quality over quantity ANY DAY for me. The look of the Filofax even looks more expensive. Genuine leather, a tried and true brand that has been around and coveted in the planner community for decades. The Amazon wallet is still beautiful, I was debating because of space but I think I’m sold on the saffiano.

    Hi! Thanks for the review... After few months, how is the quality of the new wallet? I'm not sure but the brand Filofax seem better quality, sturdy and the color is amazing... The zipper is better for the filofax... The size is suitable. The amazon wallet is'nt have a good zipper...The question is, if we want keep the wallet a looooonnnnng time or if we want to change it, because an another item will be launch.... Thanks for your feedback... Best regards of Paris !😉

      Hi! Thanks for watching💜 The wallet is holding up great, you can see it in my most recent cash envelope stuffing videos. I've heard the Filofax last for years, I don't think the Amazon wallet has been around long enough to compare. If you have the finances I would get the Filofax but if you have to be more mindful of your spending the Amazon is a great alternative.

      I'm sorry not to long after I posted the video it sold out and the link was removed.

I think because they are not trying to get in copyright trouble its just an item that comes and goes.

    I've never seen someone struggle with basic packaging like this. Hilarious.. what are all these languages for? XD American privilege? She's right about some things, no one uses contacts anymore. She's also right, this isn't modern. Needs a strap so it'll stay on your hand in the store (not a wrist strap, those are awful), a phone pocket, a built in tracker so you can use your phone or computer to find it, and the cash envelope option. I'm thinking filofax is a traditional planner company for the pen and paper set and she wants a Dave Ramsey cash envelope system but in 'your pink' with cute envelopes and a gold zipper. But seriously, with the pandemic, who's using cash and not budgeting online. Is this a little coupon organizer or an actual cash system or a planner? If cash, why wouldn't you lock it, track it?
