Filofax Personal Antique Rose Finny Review!

This planner purchase was absolutely spontaneous and I actually didn't plan on keeping this at all. As it is, I never seemed to like the colour. It just reminded me of a dirty pink and never really understood why so many people actually liked it. So the moment I bought it, I sold it online. This would probably be the shortest time I owned a planner. I know there were quite a few people on Facebook that were looking for it after all, so why not share the love around, no? And seeing I had this organiser in my possession (though briefly), I managed to take a few moments to review it before sending it off to its new owner. I've reveiewed the Finsbury collection multiple times now though, with the recent ones being my Electric Blue and my pretty Pink, so I'll just be loading this post with pictures rather than words. Enjoy!

Personal Antique Rose Finsbury!

 On the inside:

Back Pocket

Slowly closing on itself

As usual, it wouldn't open itself without wanting to spring back again.

The rings were ... acceptable. Slight gaping in the first and second rings, but nothing that would cause a problem... yet:

It's funny, the time I started writing this up, I was all for selling it without a doubt / regret in the world, but since I brought it home, was able to play with it for a while, photograph it, stroke it and stare at it a little, it has grown on me a little... and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll regret selling this one. I know that I've regretted selling my first blue Personal Finny, but I'm not too sure about this one. I know I won't use it though, that's the main thing, and I have plenty of those already on my shelf. So, I sold it.

Comparing with my Pink Personal Finny though, I must say, the leather is definitely much softer and bendable than the Antique Rose. Maybe it's the leather or maybe it's because the Pink has been sitting exposed for so long, but I much prefer the softer feel of its leather than the Antique Rose

And here's a little colour comparison:

Compare the pair: Antique Rose vs. Pink Finny

The Antique Rose would definitely be good for a more muted 'formal' pink, but to each their own. I'm grateful I've been able to own an Antique Rose for this brief period of time, but I think it's time to let it go.
