The reason the Filofax may feel like that is because the granite is actually RFID protected so I imagine the lining for the RFID shield is making it feel very stiff.
Your current wallet is a hard act to follow! The other 2 both kinda look cheaply made...despite their price points.Personally, I'd return them both...there are tons of other options out there that you might like better. Thanks for the comparisons!
I had never heard of the Three Way Cut brand before your video... I looked on Amazon Australia and the Pink Champagne colour is very similar to your Steve Madden but the Filofax Saffiano is cheaper to buy than the TWC here in Australia... Idk why I'm looking as most of my bills will be coming straight out of the bank, no need for envelopes really... LOL
I hope you're happy with your wallet I found your channel when I was looking for one that would feel quality and at the same time, be suitable for cash envelopes. I ended up with a Moterm Zippered Leather Cover for Weeks - Fits Hobonichi Weeks and Weeks Mega Notebook Planners (Pebbled) A6 size and I can't love it more. The leather is amazing, very elegant and has so many pockets and all. You do have to add the rings but that's a easy fit. If you decide to go for something else I highly recommend it!
I have the Filofax Saffiano and do like it, but there are elements that irritate me about it. Minor ones but still… The first is the nylon zipper. Not a fan. Not as smooth as metal and makes that high keening noise as you zip it. The second is that the card pocket material is a really thin and “crunchy” nylon. I wish they would have used the same PU leather as the exterior of the organizer. I do like how light it is and the aesthetic color and smooth lines. What I’m using right now is the Rachel Cruz wallet. One of only two genuine leather cash envelope wallets I’ve found. The other being the Bella Taylor leather wallet. Really easy to put/take money in and out of - no more jamming my cuticles on the edge of laminated envelopes. The lack of labels irked me (it uses numbered tabs instead), but I’ve since solved that issue by using it with my cash dividers.
I wonder if there are any Dutch RUclips budgeters out there? They might know of a similar one available in Europe that is more affordable. Good luck in your search!
@@budgetingwithintention Yeah i have bought a wallet on Amazon that looks like a filofax,but for €17 euro instead of €50 . And i'm so happy with it 😍 cash stuffing is an good addiction. ( Is that how you write it ? )

Yes, you can tell that the colors are a little different! It's still pretty, but I totally agree with getting what you want! Thanks for sharing!

I do the same thing! Research things for no logical reason 😂😂

I've had my eye on a Moterm for a planner cover. Hadn't even thought of adding rings to it. Thanks for the great idea!
If you ever wanted to go back to your Steve Madden just order dividers from Etsy that way it will give you more categories.
That's a great idea!
I love the color of your current wallet 🥰
I do too. It's a hard act to follow!
You can buy an additional wrist strap for the Saffiano filofax
Good to know! Thanks!

Yes, even after all these months the zipper on this wallet still bugs me. Thanks for the tips on brands with genuine leather wallets ❤️
Catching up ❤❤❤
Great video. New subscriber here.

Can you fit a hobonichi weeks into that Filofax ?
I haven't done it myself, but I have seen other RUclipsrs do it and they seem to fit perfectly.
