I have a Maldan Mini and a Malden Pocket and I love them apart from the side tabs that get totally crushed if you put a pen in the pen loop up when you close as in yoyr video. There simply is no room for side tabs. This does not a happen with my old Mini Finsbury. What I don’t understand is why Filofax ship with the side tabs and do not even suply top tabs or why not just redeisign the pen loop. Enjoyed your video.
Only just seen this video. Feel for you with the faulty rings. I had a similar problem with a black mini Malden. The only difference was that the rings were so tight that they wouldn't open at all. I was so disappointed. I also had to return a faulty black mini Saffiano and a black pocket Malden. All faulty rings. I've gone back to a personal size and, so far, all is good. I really do have a few concerns about the quality over the last couple of years though and I'm toying with the idea of a passport TN instead.
OMG, I got mine in the mail today! It is so precious. It is by far best Malden Filofax has ever made in this color, Orche. I thought about you and your collection of mini’s. I am so happy for you too. I am going to dress her up and play with her all season. Enjoy, yours. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Agree on the tabs. I removed all side tabs in my minis. I had such a hard time getting this color, had to order from Japan. Of course in the UK you must have access to the full Filofax line.
Is gorgeous the mini size malden 😍 and I have the same problem. I bought 2 days ago a Mini Malden and the ring came defective. I'm trying to contact with Filofax Canada and nothing 😔 . I hope I can change the product for other one.
I’ve got this one from eBay before the re-release. I use your plastic top tab dividers they are perfect! On filofax website it says now with 15mm rings.. I thought they were always that size 🤔 not measured mine yet.
It's worth having a go trying to stretch the loop a little - if you put a little leather conditioner or vaseline and heat it up, you can stretch the leather a little :)
I don’t blame you - they’re so hard to come by! I’m going to email Filofax and see how quickly they can replace it - I don’t want to be without it, that colour is just 💯
I love Filofax, but stopped buying them because 3 of the 4 that I’ve purchased arrived with either raised or gaps in the rings and I had to return them for replacements 😩
I'm working on them this weekend, so they'll be in the shop either tonight or tomorrow. It would have been earlier but I got sidetracked making new bookmarks - I need to focus, LOL!
Snap! My unboxing is going up tonight. I left you a comment elsewhere... trying to find out if you are done with MY van dee speck PW? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, but no jokes!
@@sortstuffout my video is up, and I am not using it as a planner. I am very interested to see how you plan in só few square cm’s! I trust that your exchange happens soon, and that we will see how you do that thing! 🔥
I’m going to have to stop watching your channel. I now want a mini but they are out of a Stock of the navy ones😢😢 might just have to get some inserts when you list them. Just in case, you know what it’s like😀
Hehe! Sorry! 🤪 I’m having fun with it already though, I’m loving designing everything in teeny tiny size - I’m adding a few inserts tonight and more throughout the week 💕

They’re SO cute! I’m working on a mini range at the moment, I’m so desperate to make it work!

It’s worth it - it’s such a lovely versatile colour 💕

It’s fixable! I did a follow up video where I fixed it, it’s totally okay now - so if you have no luck switching it, it may still be okay 💕

Good point! My old black one is the same... I think! So pleased you like the dividers 💕
Uh man, the only bummer for me is that my favorite pen won’t fit into the loop of the mini. But it still is a great notebook!

Hey!I ve got mine today...please let me know was any weird smell at yours when you first bought it?
My is clicky too. I just feel that it is too new but I am going to make it work. I am keeping mine. 💖

No way! 😱 I was thinking I was just unlucky - but I’m hearing loads of things like this ☹️
I will be watching this like a hawk for the mini inserts! Once my replacement arrives :D

Did you have issues with yours too?
@@sortstuffout mine was the one with spots and scuffs on it
@@catfinkuk Oh I remember that post! Hope your replacement comes quickly too!
LOL! This is Ellie... just realised I'm on my husband's account!
I returned two brand new Original A5 size because of faulty poppers. Their quality control seems quite hit-and-miss.
Two! That’s crazy!!! 😱
Oh that just sucks that the rings are already open.
It’s so frustrating - I’m just hoping that I can get it replaced quickly! 🤞🏻

Oooh what did you get! I’m still considering selling it 😘
@@sortstuffout Exactly the same - Filofax Mini in Ichre!!!! About the van der speck... as long as you remember where it's next home is! 🥰
I promise! 💕

The mechanisms also look different between the two minis…
It’s strange, isn’t it? I wonder if they’ve changed supplier? My black one is perfect too, thankfully!
According to the Filofax website, the 2021 new releases have 15 mm rings and the older ones have 13 mm rings.
@@ajrockne307 @sortstuffout aha! The thing I noticed was the lack of rivets/rivet caps on the new one
