HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

LeatherSky BlueA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

This beautiful sky blue cover is made with patent leather.

The first thing you’ll notice about this cover is its beautiful, glossy sheen.







The attractive look of this genuine leather cover is one that goes well with both business and personal settings.

Because this leather cover has been treated with enamel, it’s easy to wipe off any smudges with a dry cloth.

The interior cover uses a tanned leather that deepens in color over time. This allows the users to get maximum enjoyment from the contrast of processed, shiny leather against natural, aging leather.

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.

Black or white dots on the cover

On rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the cover. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.

Immediately dry the product if it gets wet

Immediately dab the product with a dry cloth if it gets wet. Avoid
drying it with high temperatures, and place it in a well-ventilated
place in the shade.

Store in a cool, dry place with good ventilation

The enamel in this product can become distorted when stored in places with humidity and high heat. Storing it in a ventilated area and wiping it with a dry towel will protect the sheen of the enamel.

Do not keep in contact with printed material or vinyl surfaces for extended periods of time

Letting the product sit against printed material or vinyl surfaces may result in transfers of the print and other damage.

Pen holders are rigid at first

The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.

Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

Not for use with Cover on Cover

The PVC plastic of the Cover on Cover contains plasticizer additives which may cause a reaction in the leather dye and affect the color and quality of the leather cover. Please refrain from using the Cover on Cover with this product.

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.

Interior leather may contain preexisting wrinkles and marks

The interior uses tanned leather that may have imperfections visible on the surface, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks. We ask for your understanding for these naturally occurring characteristics of genuine leather.
