Black calf leather with fill
1990

Designed in 1921 and steadily sold for fifty years, the Filofax expanded into the mass market through a direct mail campaign in the 1970s. By 1987 the Filofax had become a successful cult object adopted by the fashion conscious. Carrying a Filofax implies you have numerous contacts, a demanding schedule, and creative and lucrative ideas.
