- With the launch of the Moterm vegetable leather planners, should you leave your Gillio or VDS to buy a Moterm and save money? Join me as I unbox a total of three planners and compare them to the new Moterm. I not only show Gillio and VDS but also my Louis Vuitton.
All planners are in personal size. Insert shown is from 8lotus.co/?aff=133 and code NORA8 can be used to save. 🤍
I think Gillios retained value because there were no near competitors...with Moterm Veg Tan, you are paying a fraction of the price for something similar...the recent spate of destashes happening and mostly with Gillios and the fact they are not getting snapped up as fast...indicates people may be trading to Moterm and don't see the value wit paying 4-5x more for a Gillio. I have owned several Gillios and while the leather is nicer...Moterm's price point is very attractive and will likely retain most of their value over time - Gillio may have only been able to retain value because no competitor...I feel Moterm will depress Gillio resales except for the like News and not the well used.
This was the most informative comparisons video, thank you!! All beautiful planners🤎
So helpful Nora! I just started using FCC so it was a nice surprise to see you insert FCC inserts to get a perspective on how they fit with almost each planner. I agree that I love the compact size of the LV MM and the moterm does look a little wider and chunkier. These thorough comparisons were great!
All of these are absolutely stunning!!! I am very impressed with the moterm! the pocket on the fly leaf!! My vds velvet sand has that :) Also, thank you so much for sharing price points!! I love that thank you!! It is so useful when thinking about a next planner purchase! I am definitely thinking of these moterms now :)
I posted my Moterm unboxing yesterday of my B6 Plus covers. Mine are quite nice and I really like them. My first VDS comes this month but I know it’ll be higher quality in feel because I rented one for a bit and also it’s fully customizes. But I like the Moterm. Don’t have any Gillios because I wasn’t very impressed or inspired by any shares I’ve seen of their covers on IG or YT - just never seem worth the money to me in the design and finishing. And the complaints I’ve seen on quality control.
For me, I like all the covers. Thus far, I only have one Veg Tanned Moterm (B6+ Apricot). It's a terrific cover, but the softness of leather is nothing like my undyed Gillio, which is as soft as butter. I'm "Team Texture", and also find the texture on the Gillios to be more pronounced if you like that, which I do. For my taste, the texture is more muted than I would prefer. But for the money and design, especially with the PWs, Moterm is amazing! That's why I have some on the way.
That moterm looks absolutely stunning…..rich and supple looking. I think the size and pocket configuration is superior as well. For me…and the price difference…the moterm wins 1000%. I mean it looks absolutely stunning….Given it’s full grain leather I’m sure it will relax in the back and wear in with use.
I'm for moterm
I am waiting for my Apricot in B6!! I still love Gillio though too! I love you Lotus collection! I would love one in the Appunto!
I “splurged” on a FQ slightly used A6 Appunto Lotus only because Moterm doesn’t have a blush pink in their lineup and I hate pebbled leather of any kind so that meant no-go on VDS Parme or Rose for me. I was eyeing a Gillio Purple Epoca but now that Moterm’s Veg tan line up is going to include Plum, I’ll be waiting for that release. Paying $$$ for VDS and Gillio seems insane to me lol But I’m naturally frugal so maybe it’s just me 🤷♀️ I ordered 3 A6+ covers in the veg-tan Moterm leathers and they’re perfect. Snap closure and pocket configuration with the new lineup of Moterms makes them a no-brainer for me. I also think paying $200 for a “PGD” (aka., has flaws) is what I like to call “coo coo for Cocoa Puffs” 😂
I expect variation in color and texture with full grain leather whether it’s a Gillio, Moterm, etc. but your strap almost looks like it’s in the color Chestnut instead of Caramel. I have really gone nuts for these Moterms, though. They are beautiful!
It’s funny that you said the Moterm didn’t lay flat. I have two Gillio, both of them don’t lay flat. Maybe yours are different from mine?
Where can you purchase the Moterm?
How did you find the new Moterm on IG?
