LeatherTS2021 - SetaA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)
Every year, graphic designer Taku Satoh picks out leather to be used in the TS Cover series. The 2021 edition is eye-popping and fresh, yet smooth with a chic texture.
The TS series covers have a history of coming in black or silver for a sophisticated look, but that was turned on its head this year with this bright orange leather cover.
“This year, I was smitten the moment I saw this vibrant orange. The fine texture and energizing color balance each other perfectly,” Satoh says.
The leather is created by Italian tanner La Bretagna, founded in 1961. The company takes on all kinds of challenges to provide high quality, all-natural tanned leather.
Seta means silk in Italian, and that perfectly describes the luxurious touch of this vegetable-tanned leather. It uses an all-new processing method developed in 2018, so this is very much an all-new leather product.
The biggest appeal of this leather is its supple and soft feel that you’ll have a hard time taking your hands off of. Compared to standard vegetable tanned leather, this is light and sturdier. The company rose to the challenge of developing a bright color that was previously difficult to pull off when using traditional vegetable tanning methods.
The cover exterior boasts a natural texture on its natural leather, making each cover completely unique from the next.

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.
- 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.
- 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.- About the leather
The leather used in this product all have an unique look. Additionally, small black dots (occurs due to dust and steel dust floating in the air sticking to the leather during tanning and dying processes and causing a chemical reaction) may be visible on the product. We ask for your understanding for these characteristics of all-natural 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
