FILOFAX Luxe Compact black leather — $115

SKU FIL

INVENTED IN PHILADELPHIA (circa the 1920s, as Lefax), the Filofax is still the iconic portable, paper-based organizing system.

Sketches, telephone numbers, addresses, letters, stamps, credit cards, all in one handsome little leather-bound book.

Show above is the Luxe, in Compact size--holds more sheets than the Slimline, but not as bulky as the Personal size organizers. This picture shows it in black, also available in Ebony and Crimson.

Filos are human-powered, like bicycles, and as corporations seek to suck all our personal information into The Cloud and rent it back to us (or lose it to hackers), they gain a new sort of charm.

Trophy is probably the only bike shop in the U.S. that's a Filofax dealer.  We were already different, now we're differenter!

We also stock Philadephia's best selection of Filofaxes, from the Mini, to the almost-desk-sized A5s.

We have a decent selection of refills and can order anything Filofax manufactures.



But also...


Part of the bicycle lifestyle is bringing your personal items with you.

We're happy to say we've got the city's best collection of bags, panniers, saddlebags, shoulder bags and more. If you're planning to carry something while biking, we can find a way.

Our brands include: Jannd, Baileyworks, Berthoud, Carradice, Arkel, Nitto, and handmade in South Philadelphia -- Maria Scatti Bags.

Bring in all your stuff, dump it on our counter, and see which bag(s) your life fits into.

Oh--and if it won't fit on you or your bike, we also stock trailers and cargo bikes to handle bigger loads.
