A look inside the Kate Spade and Shop Ban.do Planners / Agendas!

Hey Planner lovers! The cat is kinda out of the bag over on instagram and Twitter...the 'big brand' company that I have been hinting at over the last couple of months is finally here and if you follow my accounts over there you will know that those brands are Kate Spade and Shop Ban.do. So there we go girls. I am super duper over the moon giddy with excitement. I have been working so hard behind the scenes to pull it off and I can't believe that they are actually in the house but they are. I am now a Kate Spade and Shop Ban.do stockist here in the UK. I had to say that one more time because I still can't quite believe it myself but it is true.

More on the stationery line will be coming to the shop soon and possible some of the lifestyle products as well if you lovely peeps would be interested in that but for now I am proud to announce officially on the blog that the planners / agendas are in stock whoooop whoooop!

So I posted photos on my instagram / Twitter of the ones that I am keeping and I asked if any of you would like me to do a video so you can get a better feel for them and see what the insides are like. You gals said yes so here we are!

Both the Kate Spade and Shop Ban.do planners are 17 month so if like me you are itching to get into it you don't have to wait that long. They start in August 2015 and end in December 2016.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these planners just head on over to my shop here: www.mrsbrimbles.co.uk/shop

First up let us take a look at the Shop Ban.do Florabunda.




So I am keeping the large spiral bound version. I love it and fell in love with it the moment that it arrived and I really cannot wait to use it, luckily I only have to wait until 27th July and then it can be mine mwah ha ha! I am still undecided as to whether this will be a planner or a journal or a mixture of the both but I love it! I have never used a spiral or bound planner before, only rings but this is just calling out to me so badly that I want to use it and I hope I will love it as much as I think I will!

It also comes in a smaller size but this is hard bound and not spiral, the inside is exactly the same and it comes in two outer designs.

 

So let' smove on and take a look at the Kate Spade agendas. They come in two designs, the gold spot and the black stripe and in two sizes. I know there were some ifs and buts over the gold spot as the 2015 version was known for the gold dots scratching off. I can't 100% vouch for this design but I did do a scratch test on a spot and nothing budged and you couldn't see where I had done it so hopefully all has been rectified there.

So let us take a look inside:

What do you think of them? What would you use them for? As the Florabunda is quite 'open' I am tempted to do a mix of planner and journal but I am not quite sure yet!

Thanks for getting excited with me and for all of your support I genuinely love you all xx
