Please help me - i think i´m unable to cope with this on my own.
I´m doing this post in english to be able to include as much BRAINSTORMERS as possible for this question.
(please forgive me all of the mistakes in here)
THIS QUESTION, that almost keeps me away from sleeping at night, is:
Is my "Great Work Nina - here´s your reward! you deserve it!"-filofax becoming a purple MALDEN, or should I prefer a HOLBORN ZIP in Wine??

On the one hand side I really was very close to get a Holborn Zip, and I think i would already own one, if it hadn´t been gone out of stock in germany at the moment.
BUT i saw the purple Malden in person on the paperworld this year, and immediately fell in love ==> because i´m a purple-person, love the malden leather anyway and... it´s just magical :D
Again on the one hand side there are several advantages I imagine in using a zipped filofax. BUT.... the design isn´t as beautiful as a button fastening is.

Of course I did a Pro & Con List for myself, but it´s almost daily updated with some "aaah yeah, that´s also a great one!" - and that´s why I really can´t decide yet.
I don´t want to share my whole VS.-LIST at the moment. I think I should still keep it for a while to not influence you in your preferings, hints and "think about"s.
We´re talking about a lovely new filofax in A5, which also is becoming my FIRST LEATHER FILOFAX. so, of course, it has to be something special.
I really need some help with this, so could you PLEASE share your thoughts with me??
I think the fastening-question is as old as filofax, and it´s a decision everyone has to do on his own. BUT if you have to compare a purple Malden with the wine Holborn Zip, which one would you prefer, and WHY??!"
