Hi everyone! For today's "Discover the charms of the Hobonichi Techo Cover," Techo team member Susan looks back on a cover that had an interesting production process.

Makino Collection: Navy x Brown




The characteristics of this cover is the three dimensional wavy texture. At a glance it looks like a standard plaid pattern, but when you touch it, it has a fun texture and it also has a different expression depending on the angle you look at it.

At first, the manufacturing factory seemed to have thought it was better for the fabric to be completely straight, so the first sample didn't have the wavy texture. When I visited the factory, I told them that we wanted the wavy characteristic of the fabric to stand out, and asked if they could make another sample.



This is when the staff members of the sample room of the factory efficiently created a sample for us. I felt bad for staring too much, but I couldn't help stop looking to study how it was all done.



Because the core material of the interior affects the texture of the exterior, they tried out a few.


Cover on the top: NG (The fabric is too loose)
Cover on the bottom: OK (The fabric is just right)

It wouldn't be right if the fabric was too straight or wavy. It was a cover that made me realize the importance of conveying the intent behind creating a cover.

The Hobonichi Techo covers are packed with the feelings of the many people involved in creating it. I hope you come across a new cover throughout this sale.
