Hi everyone wow all agendas are lovely on here and can’t believe this thread goes all the way back to 2006!! I’m looking to buy my first LV agenda and want the mono in medium, would you recommend this size? I want it for daily calendar pages, to do lists etc (don’t need it as a wallet).

Also I’ve seen some stunning ones on here in different colours eg pink leather and orange etc, do LV still make these limited edition versions in unique colours or just mainly the canvas ones that are available now?

TIA!! :heart:

Hi! Welcome! Medium size, although ideal, can be very tricky. It requires paper size "personal size". You can buy from various shops but the amount of paper per cost can be quiet expensive. I tend to purchase regular notebooks and use a hole puncher sized for personal paper size. Or get free printables but they still require you do manually cut and hole punch. You can always just buy from LV but quiet expensive for my budget sensible lifestyle.

Another thing is middle ring can be quiet disruptive when writing on the left side of the agenda.

Having said all this, MM size in black epi is still one of my favourite for daily life and work schedules. If you find any problems I can also recommend you to look into Paul mm where all you need to do is purchase B6 sized notebook. This will be my next purchase on my agenda collection.

Welcome! If you're looking for portability, MM is perfect! If you need more space, GM or A5 would be perfect! I love my mono MM although I keep it at home, I love how it fits in most of my purses in case I need to take it out.

The size of the pages are personal size and can be a bit of a tight squeeze though. What I do is cut slits into the pages so I don't have to constantly open the binder rings and I can just pull off the page itself.

Wow thank you so much for all of the helpful advice!! Someone else has also said that the medium can be tricky especially if I want to write a lot (which I do!!) so I’m now thinking it may be best to get the large, would you recommend that over the medium - especially in terms of getting the inserts (A5 size I believe)?

Thank you for all of your help :flowers: I’m now very seriously considering the large instead as I do want to write a lot and although I would want to carry the agenda to work, I don’t want to have to buy two (medium for lugging around, and large for writing in!)

Large is bit cumbersome to lug it around for work. I used to use pm size, had to scale up on mm and that already took out more volume and weight in the bags I carry to work. Due to covid I had to change to using none descriptive nylon backpack around so mm still works out. Your life style, work and commute is a huge factors.

I used to be like you where I swore to only one agenda.. Now I have 3 and 1 more in the future. I think best for you would be Paul mm, which uses B6 stalogy. It has undated daily pages where you can date as you go. It would be amply spaced yet not too large to be mobile.

If you are set on GM size, don't go preloved. They overcharge for what it is and it's actually not difficult to find. Only difficult during Christmas & New Years season for obvious reasons. GM does take A5 but again, inserts can still be quiet expensive. Especially if you are fond of writing utensils and specificities you would need some good quality papers that doesn't bleed over. If you want to punch your own lined or blank pages, go buy cheap notebooks from muni. Their papers are fantastic. And buy an A5 puncher. In long term this will be much cheaper for you.

Fair warning... fountain pen addiction can be as dangerous as LV agendas..

Thank you again :hugs: now I’m going to have to have a good think about which one is best - or maybe just grab whichever one becomes available on the LV website first so that I don’t need to make the decision:lol:
Haha I can see agenda addiction becoming a real thing and also about the fountain pens…! I’ve realised that being on TPF is just a massive enabler for shopping :lol::panic::flowers:

Hello agenda gang! I am loving everyone’s posts and pictures I am looking at getting an agenda for journaling and was wondering how everyone feels about the MM size for this? I think the PM will be too small and the GM a bit heavy and bulky. Also does anyone know if LV realise limited edition designs at any particular time of the year? I understand Christmas and New Years would be a bad time to look for one so I wanna get in early. Thank you

I haven't seen a new limited agenda in years now. For LE agendas I would check pre-loved market! Some pop up here and there.
