The Stroll cover was created in collaboration with POTR, a brand by Yoshida & Co. based on the lifestyle concept. It utilizes the craftsmanship experience the company has cultivated over its long history.
It’s a practical cover that is as if you’re carrying a small bag when you go for a stroll. The two handles allow you to carry your techo with items you want to use that day casually.
The bonded material of this cover is Yoshida & Co.’s characteristic light and soft nylon, with an elegant sheen. The circular logo sewn on the front accents the design.
The color of the A5 Cousin size is dark green. The deep green has a sheen, and its elegant and calming look is fitting for any setting.
There are wide pockets on the front and back of the cover. It would be useful to store items you use often throughout the day, like your smartphone.
It includes a shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry around. The strap is black and is easy to attach and remove.
You can adjust the shoulder strap to your preferred length and hang it over your shoulder to keep your hands free. It’s great for carrying around your Hobonichi Techo as you walk around town.
Open the zipper and you’ll see the combination of dark green and beige for the cover interior. There are three card pockets and an additional, deeper pocket that’s clear so you can see what’s inside; there’s also a mesh pocket that closes with a zipper. You can carry everything you use on a daily basis alongside your techo. The pen-holder can store a slim pen; if you’ve got a thicker pen, you can store it by its clip.
For the Hobonichi Techo 2025 lineup, we created the Mini Wallet - Stroll Jr., which is a small wallet with matching designs as the Stroll cover and even comes with a mini gridded notebook. They come in three colors: Green, Carrot and Purple.
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.
POTR is a brand launched by Yoshida & Co., which has long been committed to manufacturing products made in Japan, with the motto 'One stitch for Life - One stitch connects people with their lives -.'
The concept is to enrich daily life by catering to a variety of diversified lifestyles.
