Single ColorLagoA6 Original Size

  • 2025 New

We’ve designed a simple Zippers cover that can fit well into any scenario.



The calm color scheme is also well-suited for both business and personal use.



The cover material is a high quality Italian polyurethane faux leather that makes it lightweight and easy to carry around. The embossing on the entire surface gives the material a sophisticated look.







The name “lago” means “lake” in Italian. The name was inspired by the image of a deep, clear lake.



The interior is also in a deep blue reminiscent of the quiet surface of a lake. The zipper pull uses the same material as the cover for an overall stylish look.







This cover is perfect for active users who want to use it at work and during personal time.

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

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




An introductory Zippers cover

The Zippers type covers have intricate setups that are filled with pockets and other features. We wanted to make it easier for more people to try out a Zippers cover, so we created this series featuring a simple design.



The cover material is Italian polyurethane faux leather that withstands the test of time. The price of this cover is lower relative to the other Zippers covers, yet the durable and high quality material rivals even genuine leather.



The colors are familiar for all generations to use comfortably. Together with the bold look of the gold zipper, this cover is well suited for all users and settings.



The durable build of the cover also protects it from getting dirty or damaged.

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.

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.
