SteiffChocolate Teddy (Trinity Style)
This is the third year we’ve collaborated with German plush toy maker Steiff. This year’s theme is “Trinity,” and features a trio of teddy bears in this short story.
★View the Story of Trinity
The Chocolate Teddy cover is reminiscent of an actual teddy bear with the way it’s covered in chocolate brown fur. Sold separately is a Teddy Bear Keychain you can hook onto your cover for an extra-special, cute look.
Steiff teddy bears use high-quality yarn called mohair, made from the hair of the Angora goat. The cover exterior and pen holders are made with this very same mohair and feature a curly variety that gives a “toy poodle” feel to the teddy bear fur to capture your heart.
For the first time, the cover will include 3 bookmarks for a Trinity color scheme: Chocolate, Cafe au Lait, and Biscuit. Each bookmark has a leather teddy bear charm at the end.
This techo cover keeps the trademark button and yellow tag featured in the left ears of Steiff plush toys. The tag designates that the product has passed the maker’s strict quality standards before being imported into Japan from Germany. This product is extremely rare in bearing the trademark, as Steiff has historically reserved the distinct honor for its plush toys. As we did previously, we’ll be sending the finished products to the Steiff headquarters in Germany to have the buttons and tags attached.
The cover has a gold-colored metal ring at the top that allows you to attach a Trinity-theme Teddy Bear Keychain of choice to your cover. (*Keychain sold separately.)
The Steiff cover is delivered in a specially crafted chocolate-brown case. The gold-leaf engraving on the cover reads in German, “TRINITY DIE DREI BÄREN,” or Trinity - The Three Bears” and “GEMEINSCHAFTSPRODUKTION VON STEIFF UND HOBONICHI,” meaning “Collaborative product of Steiff and Hobonichi.”
The Steiff edition Hobonichi Techo Planner book is also available again this year. At a glance, this book may look the same as a traditional Hobonichi Techo Planner, but look closely and you’ll see the Arts&Science trademark key icon has been replaced with a Steiff bear. 
You can see more about the Steiff Planner book here.

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.
- Leather may contain preexisting wrinkles and marks
In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover,
such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks.
Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.- Leather coloring stains
Dyed leather products tend to leave stains. Please be careful not to allow the leather to adhere or rub against other objects such as clothing or other belongings, especially if the bag is wet from water or sweat from your hands.
- Interior leather may be loose
The interior leather of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.
- Placement of button and tag vary
The "button in ear" atop the cover is attached by hand in Germany. The position and direction of the tag, and the direction of its button, vary.
- Avoid pulling the bookmark charm
Please handle with care and avoid pulling the teddy bear-shaped charms on the end of the bookmarks, as it may cause them to rip off.
- 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.
- Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide
The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.
- 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.
- Immediately dry if it gets wet
Immediately dab your 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.
- Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
- Material contains variances in color and coat
The natural material contains variances in color and coat between each product.
- Actual specifications may vary from listing
Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.
