Vintage Filofax 1986 Burgundy Leather Gold Trim Inc Inserts Handmade In England

Thanks for looking

If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking.

This is a vintage Filofax from all the way back in 1986 - the height of the YUPPIE phenomenon which spawned the Wall Street movie (if you haven't seen it it's definitely worth a watch - "greed is good"!).

I'm a professional business seller on here and we bought this (and a load of other 80's pieces - see my other listings) from a chap that spent the 80's working as a Day Trader in the London Stock Exchange. At the time the only mobile phones on the market came in their own briefcase (this was before the Motorola bricks) so the Yuppies (if you don't know what that is look it up) organised their lives using one of these...the Filofax!

We sell thousands of vintage pieces but this one is something very special. Filofaxes were carried everywhere and generally quite badly treated. Usually the remaining original 80s ones are battered with loose stitching, torn leather and they almost always come in black. As you can see in the photos this one is a rich burgundy with gold tips that was handmade in England - it really stands out! In fact it stands out so much the previous guardian never used it! He got it as a gift from his company but the colour was too loud for him so he just stuck with this black one. In the modern work this fits in perfectly. It has all the original paper sections inside with the dividers. He actually got it as a gift from his boss who left in an 'inspirational quote' to make him work harder - see pic.

Condition

This is the best part! As mentioned, he never used it. He appreciated the gift but it went straight into a drawer where it has stayed for almost half a century. Whilst it has never been used it has picked up a few dents in the leather over the decades - so not quite pristine but very, very close. The inside is mint and as new as it was in 1986. Its almost impossible to find one of these in such good condition, I'd give it a 9/10.
