Review of Filofax A5 Notebook
Introducing the Filofax Vista Blue Refillable Notebook
The Filofax Vista Blue refillable notebook is a versatile and durable writing companion, designed for long-term use and practical organization. This sleek and stylish notebook, part of Filofax's pastel range, offers a unique blend of functionality and aesthetics.
The notebook's cover, boasting a faux leather finish, is both attractive and tactile, providing a soft, pastel leather-look feel. The cover is sturdy yet flexible, flexing into place when folded back and resisting squishing. The Vista Blue Filofax notebook features a twin wire spine that allows it to fold back on itself and lay flat, making it easy to write and portable.
Inside, the notebook includes 58 sheets of 100gsm paper, suitable for writing with a Pilot G-2 pen. The paper is of a nice weighted card, and the dividers, made of card, can be changed out as needed. The notebook comes with 4 sample sheets of lined, plain, and grid paper for testing, with the grid paper featuring a 6mm square that may require some adjustment for certain layouts.
The notebook includes 58 sheets of lined paper and four dividers, one with a pocket for loose notes or receipts. The notebook's closure features a thick elastic that coordinates with the cover colour and a notch to keep it in place. Unfortunately, the notebook does not have a pen loop, but the spine can be used for pen storage.
The Filofax Vista Blue notebook is a great introduction to the Filofax brand, especially for those seeking a refillable notebook that can withstand backpack use. It is part of Filofax's range of notebooks, which includes Clipbooks and refillable notebooks with wire-o binding.
The notebook does not have any branding inside, and the back cover has a simple emboss of the Filofax logo. An included ruler/bookmark is thin and flexible, potentially prone to snapping. However, the notebook's binding is unique and requires a punch to change the pages, allowing for easy refills and reducing waste and cost.
Overall, the Filofax Vista Blue refillable notebook offers a blend of style, functionality, and durability that makes it an ideal choice for personal and professional use. Its adaptable capacity expands or contracts depending on the number of pages you use, making it customizable year after year.
This Filofax Vista Blue refillable notebook, part of Filofax's pastel range, not only serves as a functional writing companion but also enhances one's home-and-garden lifestyle with its sleek design and sturdy construction. Whether used for personal organization or professional notes, this notebook's lifestyle appeal extends beyond traditional office settings, aligning with brand values of versatility and longevity.
