    Your VDS is gorgeous but I totally get why one is enough. Just FYI, the VDS Standard size actually fits FC Compact inserts without being widened - I have their Touch Me binder in Standard with 30mm rings (not customizable). The FC tabs go to the edge but don’t overhang. Of course, some ppl prefer even a bit more width than that, but they do fit. One thing that would bother me about the Moterm (which I agree is also gorgeous) would be the mismatched hardware. I’m a “gold rings” girl, and I hate when the zipper and snap closure hardware don’t match. I have a couple rare, special edition Gillio Compagnas that have all gold hardware, but I can’t buy a planner with just gold rings and leave the hardware silver…

    Oooo those special edition Gillios sound beautiful! I get why having mismatched hardware bothers some people. In theory, I want everything to match, but it doesn't bother me at all. Interesting to hear that about the Touch Me binders, I wasn't aware of that, thanks!

    Your VDS is stunning i love the colours you choose. I won't ever order as the conversion and postage to Australian dollars puts me off. so, I admire other people's VDS planners. :)

    As I mentioned in the video, I am just as happy with my moterms as I am with my vds. I WANT to like the vds more because of the cost difference, lol.

    What I don’t like about VDS is that if I ever want to order a custom ostrich, I have to have friends who also want to order one otherwise I’ll never get to purchase. That’s just a huge let down.

    You have to have enough people for them to order the leather?

    Your VDS is stunning, I have had both planners however, I do have to disagree with you. Moterm to me is very plastic feeling and at a fraction of the price that’s why really, the leather if actual leather smells funny. To me VDS planners are the premium planners just like Gillio, you get good grade leathers and well just perfection. Moterm have copied Gillio Firenze designs with all of there planners. I have not tried the new Veg Tan leather that Moterm do and I don’t think I will I prefer LV, VDS and Gillio’s. This is why I love this community so many different choices for everyone and we all like different things but yet are United in Planning ❤

    I could not agree with you more. There truly is something out there for everyone. I have read numerous reviews about the plasticy feel of moterms, I don't find they feel that way to me, so for me, they suit my purposes well. Thanks for watching!

    @clairediss Gillio planners are not original, they started buying them from a wholesaler. Steve Morton has that factory's details.
