HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

    Felt Book (Light Gray)A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    This warm tri-fold cover is made with light, durable felt material to recreate the feel of portable laptop and smartphone cases. The cute stitching along the edges prevents the fabric from fraying and brings out the full charm of felt material.

    The wooden buttons are made from pear trees and stand out nicely against the gray fabric. You can keep your cover closed by winding the rubber band around the brass bracket.

    The cover interior includes three pockets of various depth cut into the fabric.

    The cow leather pen holder can hold a pen by the clip.

    The bookmarks are made with high-quality suede fabric.

    The back pocket includes a leather patch carved with the Hobonichi logo.

    Please Read Before You Buy

    In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

    All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

    Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

    Material may fluff over time

    The material may become fluffly from continued use.

    Do not yank the button, metal parts, or rubber band

    Pulling the button, metal parts, or rubber band too strongly may cause them to snap off. Please handle with caution.

    Interior of book spine may turn in slightly

    This product is made with smooth material designed for easy insertion, so repeated use may cause both ends of the spine to turn in. This is an unavoidable result of this design.

    Overstuffing the cover may result in tearing or damage

    This cover is designed to store tools, documents, and other stationery together with the planner book. Attempts to close the cover when it contains too many items may damage the material. Please avoid storing more than the cover can hold.

    Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

    The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

    Interior of cover may be loose

    The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

    Material is absorbant

    Due to the natural properties of the material, it easily absorbs liquids and becomes wrinkled. Liquids such as coffee also stain easily. Please handle with care.
