Paddington™: Paddington™ (Going Out) A5 Cousin Size - Techo Lineup

Paddington™Paddington™ (Going Out)A5 Cousin Size

2025 New

The title character from the children’s book published in 1958, A Bear Called Paddington, is now available on a Hobonichi Techo cover.

Paddington™ is a bear who traveled alone from Peru to England, and lives with the Brown family in London. He wears a trademark red hat and blue coat, and loves marmalade sandwiches. He writes letters about his daily life and sends them to his Aunt Lucy in the Home for Retired Bears where she lives in Peru.

Going Out is a techo cover with a blue sailcloth that looks like a clear sky, silk-printed with a single-color design. The sailcloth gives the cover a special sense of warmth and texture. Paddington’s curiosity has him enjoying trips out to various places, which you can see as the theme for this cover’s layout.

The right-hand pocket depicts Paddington in bed writing in his scrapbook.

The two bookmark ribbons are red and blue, and the exterior pocket is adorned with a Paddington tag.

Printed inside the outer pocket is an image of Paddington wearing his trademark hat and duffle coat.

You can also buy a pencil board that matches the color scheme to use as a set.

Paddington’s hearty curiosity has him trying all kinds of new things, and we hope you can spend 2025 alongside him, making exciting memories.

In addition to the techo, our Paddington™ lineup includes stationery and accessories that make a great set when used together.

In the Hobonichi Techo 2025 lineup, the Cousin book comes in either English or Japanese.

*The English book is only available as the January-start version.

Filled with the appeal of Paddington

Paddington is a famous children’s book. I happened to read it, and was entranced by the beautiful artwork and interesting story.

Paddington is gentlemanly and curious, and I felt heartened and bold with all the new things he tried in his daily adventures. The kindness and charm of all the characters in the story had me laughing and crying as I read. At one point in the story, Paddington receives a scrapbook as a Christmas gift, and when I saw that, I felt like it matched the Hobonichi Techo perfectly. I knew I wanted to make that into a techo.

The Original and Cousin cover designs have detailed line drawings that appeal to anyone, regardless of whether they’ve ever seen Paddington before. The Weeks book has a color design with a symbolic illustration of Paddington that perfectly encapsulates the character.

The color illustrations are also so wonderful that we made it into a pencil board so people can enjoy that image as well. Using the pencil board along with these techos will let you immerse yourself even more into the world of Paddington.

We also have a collection of matching stationery and accessories, which include stickers, sticky notes, and a handkerchief. There’s also letter paper and a letter set as a nod to the way Paddington writes letters to his Aunt Lucy, and a paper bag set that I imagine Paddington would use to carry his favorite marmalade sandwiches or pastry. I hope you can add some fun into your day with these Paddington items!

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.
Color and print may vary slightly: This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining: Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
Not for use with Cover on Cover: This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Cover on Cover may damage the products.

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.
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.
