minä perhonenjellybeans + tambourineWeeks Cover Only

  • 2025 New

minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.



We created a techo cover using two textiles: “jellybeans,” which once appeared in the Hobonichi Techo lineup, and “tambourine,” which has been popular among many. The playful design features two shapes of “circles” that happily overlap: the fluffy, sweet-looking watercolor drops and embroidered dotted circles.







The material is linen and pleasant to the touch. The “tambourine” embroidery adds a fun touch.



The cover interior is a refreshing light blue. The pen hook can store a pen by its clip.







The zipper pull is made from natural leather and includes a butterfly charm.







Each cover contains a unique arrangement of the pattern. We hope you enjoy your one-of-a-kind cover.



Also available is a small tote bag made with the same textile.



About minä perhonen

minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.

First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.

Five types that you can choose from

The 2025 edition minä perhonen techo covers come in five designs: “hütte,” “jellybeans + tambourine,” “pomppia,” “anone-anone,” and “piece.”



“hütte” is a textile with a cute contrast of green and orange. It gives a fresh look, as there have not been many designs with such a clear contrast. The subdued beige color of the inner cover enhances the textile pattern and is also very nice.



“jellybeans + tambourine” is a pretty refreshing design with the “tambourine” embroidered in smoky green on the light-colored “jellybeans” fabric. The freedom and loveliness of adding embroidery on top of a patterned textile makes us feel the expansion of the minä perhonen textiles.



“pomppia” is an impressive design, with different patterns making the rabbits look different. In addition to the ever-popular navy and white embroidery of the Cousin size, we now have the Original size in light blue with yellow embroidery. The brightly colored inner cover would be great for those who prefer bright and colorful designs.



The “anone-anone” uses the textile used for the 2024 edition cover. We added a 5-Year Techo cover to the lineup so that you can use it for a longer period of time.



The 2025 edition of “piece,” has become another unique design, with the new “fruitree,” “hanaha,” and “village” textiles added to the standard “tambourine” and “tarte” textiles. We hope you will find your own unique “piece,”.

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.

Threads may protrude from embroidered area

Please note that embroidered areas may contain threads that protrude from the design.

Embroidered designs may be slightly distorted

Due to the varied thickness of the material, embroidered designs may appear slightly bent.

Coloring may stain other objects

The dye in the cover may stain other objects if it rubs against or sticks to them, especially if the cover is wet from water or sweat from your hands. Please store with care.

This cover is meant to be fitted with one side of the Weeks book cover

This cover is designed to hold only one side of the planner book cover. Forcing both sides of the book into the cover will place stress on the book spine and may cause ripping or hinder the zipper.

Usable with the Weeks Mega

This item can also be used with the Weeks Mega.

How to use pen holder

This pen holder works by holding the clip of a pen. Certain pen sizes may make it difficult to close the cover zipper.

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.
