A review of the Delmon Varone A5 zipped organiser, purchased from https://www.delmonvarone.de/de/RV-Ringbuch-DIN-A5-incl-Memoblock-4-Ring-25mm-Combimechanik-CAMBRIDGE-Top-Grain-Rindspaltleder-mit-heller-Kontrastnaht-hellbraun-Format-geschlossen-ca-20-x-26-cm.html

I mention quite a lot of general details which you might find useful for your buying decisions for any organiser/planner, even if this isn’t the organiser you’re looking for, so I’ve added some timings below so that you can skip straight to any topics you’re interested in.

COLOUR: I make comments about the colour of the product. I note that the video makes the outside of the product appear much more orange than it is, which could explain the discrepancy with the website display – in any case, hopefully you can see the colour variation from the comparisons in the video.

Timings:

0:00 – General comments, introduction, price.

05:19 – Positive stuff: price, free personalisation, generally decent quality, environmentally-responsibly packaging, D-shaped offset rings, flat back panel for comfortable writing.

11:50 - Negative stuff: website language, designed for right-handed people, branding, card slots rather than card pockets, superfluous ring defender, lack of ring opening mechanism, ring spacing, lack of choice of inserts, colour variation, small quality defects.

27:48 – Conclusion and wrap up
