Filofax Malden Organisers

The Filofax Malden has been one of the most popular organisers in the range for years, and it comes down almost entirely to the leather. Where a lot of planners go for a smooth, polished cover, the Malden does the opposite: soft, supple full grain buffalo leather with rustic stitching and a cover that flexes easily in the hand. It feels warm from the first day and builds up a real patina with use, a vintage look that makes every Malden age a little differently from the next. That sets it apart from a line like the Finsbury, which uses a smoother, firmer grained leather. The Malden closes with a leather strap and a metal popper.

At Penworld you will find the Malden in Ochre, Navy, Black, Pink, Burgundy, Vetiver and Stone, and in three sizes. The Pocket (19 mm rings) is small enough for a coat pocket, the Personal (23 mm rings) is the classic size most people picture when they think of Filofax, and the A5 (30 mm rings) gives you a full page for planning and notes. Inside you get a practical layout with card slots, slip pockets, a zipped pocket, a notepad pocket and a leather pen loop. There is also a Malden Compact Zip Personal, with a zip that runs all the way around and a removable ring mechanism, so you can use it as a purse too. Every model comes with a starter refill such as an undated year planner, dividers, note paper and to do lists. Browse the full range of organisers in the Filofax Organisers category.

Once your Malden fills up, you simply top it up with loose inserts in the right size. For the A5 you will find dated and undated diaries, note paper and dividers in the Filofax A5 Refills category. For the Personal and the Compact Zip, have a look at Filofax Personal Refills. That way your organiser keeps going for years and grows with you, while the leather only gets better looking.
