We always appreciate the opportunity to make sure our customers are fully educated on our products! The particular item you previously had is part of the Day Designer for Blue Sky Collaboration, which is provided by Blue Sky. Day Designer, the original Flagship Edition Daily and Weekly Planner, partnered with Blue Sky in the design process for the Day Designer for Blue Sky collection, for the covers and pages to reflect the look and concepts behind the Day Designer brand. The Flagship Edition planners in our online shop are simply the original planner, and a different product line from your previous retail store purchase. (We do not carry the Blue Sky collection in our online shop.) However, the vertical weekly/monthly planner (which was your previous purchase) is unique to the Blue Sky planners only.
The Blue Sky planners are lighter and leaner, (mostly because they all have plastic/cardboard/soft covers), with a paper weight of 80 gsm, and so are typically offered at a lower price point. Our “Flagship” line has smaller quantities, higher paper quality (100 gsm), and is a hardcover binded book, with gold Wire-O binding. In essence, our Flagship line is higher end and more exclusive, focused on quality, and innovation.
Blue Sky typically carries forward the same layouts, sizes, and formats from edition to edition, with exciting updates to the cover styles and accessory patterns! The 2024 Calendar Year edition is available at your local Target, Staples, Office Depot, and Walmart retailers, as well as Amazon.com. A limited selection is available on retailer's online shops, while the remaining is available in-store only. Each individual retailer decides when and where to place their merchandise on store shelves, and unfortunately we aren't provided with that feedback. We encourage you to check in with your local retailers to inquire about their product selection and availability!
Hope this helps to clear things up!
