Liberty Art FabricsNancy AnnA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

This cover features a beautiful Liberty Print textile from the venerable British fabric brand Liberty Art Fabrics. This bright, fun design, with its colorful flowers and fruits, appears on Liberty Art Fabric’s own "Tana Lawn" material, a meticulously processed cotton fabric with a uniquely silken feel.

The light blue interior and pen holder provide a calm accent to the intricate, striking design.

About Liberty Art Fabrics

A printed fabric brand from England founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843-1917), who discovered the beauty of Japanese art during a World’s Fair in London in the 19th century. The company originated as a small import shop with oriental ornaments and fabrics. The delicate silk and intricate hand-dyed art were praised by followers of the Art Nouveau movement, and in the 1880’s, Liberty began printing high-quality cotton textiles as a way to recreate sturdy versions of the delicate Eastern silks. This is the original of Liberty Print, which has created intricate prints bursting with color and complex designs ever since.

Due to the construction of the cover, the material along the spine may become slack when the cover is opened flat.

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.

All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

Pattern alignment varies by cover

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

Pattern does not align across pocket

The outer pocket is not designed to align with the layer beneath it, so the pattern will not line up perfectly across this section.

Design may contain smudges or uneven coloring

During the print process, patterns may contain spots where the color has become smudged or uneven.

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.

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.

Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

Maximum pen width of 13.5mm for pen holder

The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53”) in diameter.

Avoid using 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.

Inner cloth may be visible through cover exterior

Because the cover’s exterior cloth is thin, it may be possible to see uneven sections of the inner cloth that has been included to reinforce the overall material.

Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
