Gillio firenze leather planners

I must admit to being fairly new to Gillio products, but better late than never. My first Gillio was a Green and cream Compagna, purchased from a lovely lady on ebay in 2017. As soon as I received it I could understand why there were so many passionate Gillio owners out there. The leather is probably the best I have seen upon a leather binder, and certainly in the same league as The Bridge, some Franlkin and Van Der Spek leathers. Since then I am now the proud owner of several and all being the Medium Compagna version, as for me this is the most versatile and practical model for those using personal size (171 x 95mm) inserts. There are other alternatives available, from Mini to A5, including genuine A6 binders for papers 150mm long.

The Gillio binders are handmade and available in such a wide range of coloured leathers, but that comes at a price as the colour you may want, may not be on the shelf, thus you may have to wait months for it to become available. That said I believe you will found a style and colour that you will like within quite a short time, as Gillio seem to release a few each month.

The cost of the binders is higher than most, with a new Compagna costing around £250 subject to the exchange rate of euros. Smaller Mini and pocket versions of course cost less and larger A5 Mia Cara versions, have a price tag of around £600. Arguable you will only ever need one, because the quality is very good indeed. I have had reason to contact Gillio, regarding a couple of issues and they have sorted them as quickly as was possible, so that was also reassuring also.

If you do decide to own and use a Gillio leather binder, I am confident that you will not be disappointed.
