LintonVacancesA5 Cousin Size

    Linton has established a solid position as a textile brand since the early 20th century. While a traditional company, Linton has always taken on the challenge of creating new designs.



    The textile used in “Vacances” is a perfect example of this. It is pop and cute, yet they utilize a long-established company’s weaving techniques.



    Each blue, white, and silver thread is woven horizontally, spreading downward, looking like sparkling waves in the summer sea. The threads of translucent red, green, blue, and yellow occasionally appear in between. The randomly placed pom-poms add a charm to the fabric.







    The bright yellow color of the leather zipper pull adds an accent.







    The inner cover is the same bright yellow as the zipper pull, which would cheer you up when you open your techo. You can also find a LINTON tag inside.







    With this techo cover at your side, you may find yourself in a good mood with the thoughts of the fun plans lying ahead, even on busy or uneventful days.



    We have a techo cover and tote bag for the Linton lineup.



    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.



    About Linton

    Founded in 1912 by William Linton in Carlisle, the northernmost part of England. Developed a unique textile known as fancy tweed by weaving fancy yarns into high quality wools and cottons, said to be “designed to be made into clothes.” Linton made great strides by working with notable fashion brands. Their innovative fabrics, made from high-quality worsted wool and yarn that are dyed in-house, are beloved by the world’s best fashion designers.

    Fabric woven with playfulness

    Linton is famous as a long-established tweed manufacturer. When I first saw this textile, I was surprised that they make such playful fabric because I had a strong image of classical tweeds. The pom-poms are woven unevenly, and there are colorful threads used here and there, and the expansive style of weaving! It is their long period of history that allows them to try out something like this.



    We selected yellow leather for the inner cover to brighten your mood when you open your techo. The zipper pull is also made of the same yellow leather material and made sure to make the charm’s design not too cute.



    We named this techo cover “Vacances,” hoping the users always have that excitement of spending a summer vacation.

    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.

    Pattern alignment varies by product

    The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.

    Outer material frays easily

    Threads on the outer material may fray if they catch on sharp objects or are tugged too strongly, so please handle with care.

    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.

    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.
