Henry Cuir: Passe-Avant (Bordeaux) - Hobonichi Techo 2018

Passe-Avant (Bordeaux)Passe-Avant (Bordeaux)

*Weeks planner book sold separately.

This Henry Cuir techo cover uses hand-crafted, high-quality leather with a smooth surface that fits perfectly into your hands.

The leather covers are constructed entirely by hand in an Italian studio, where craftsmen vegetable tan the leather, sew and embroider the covers stitch by stitch, and perform the finishing touches. This intricate hand-crafted process means no two covers are truly alike.

The stitching in this cover uses bright orange threads that stand out against the bordeaux (wine-colored) leather. The embroidery depicts a flower to represent Henry Cuir designer Henri Beguelin’s love of nature.

Leaving the back of such high-quality leather exposed as the interior of the cover would still make for a beautiful finished product. But this cover contains a second layer of leather on the inside, to allow users to fully enjoy the finished material.

The hole in the center of the cover is designed to store a pen.

Because this techo cover is the size of a wallet, it can serve many uses in addition to storing a Weeks book, such as serving as a passport cover.

Original leather feel varies by cover: The leather is carefully selected by Henri Beguelin and vegetable-tanned to retain an all-natural feel.

Embroidery color varies by cover: The yarn colors featured in the front embroidery vary by cover to allow each user a unique design. Specific colors cannot be requested.
Pen is difficult to insert into pen holder at first: The belt loop and pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. This can be improved by rolling the pen holders in your hand to break them in.
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.
Natural oils of the leather may emerge as white marks: Natural oils of the leather may emerge as white marks.
