HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

    tori-to-hanaA5 Size (fits Cousin)

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

    Friendly birds are happily facing each other in this design with gray threads embroidered onto a warm beige corduroy material made of cotton. Lining the back of the cover’s design are rhythmical rows of flowers.

    The gray-green faux leather interior and pen holders are accented with dotted lace bookmarks.

    If you’re looking for a cover with a natural, subdued color scheme that will blend in with you on a daily basis, this cover is for you.

    About minä perhonen

    minä perhonen is a fashion brand created by desinger Akira Minagawa.
    First founded in 1995 under the name minä. Opened the first shop in Shirokanedai, Tokyo in 2000, and renamed the brand name to "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 the flapping wings of a butterfly.
    Opened a total of 9 shops across Japan. In 2016, opened new locations in Daikanyama, in the Spiralbuilding in Aoyama,Tokyo,and in Kanazawa.

    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.

    No outer pocket

    This cover does not contain an outer pocket.

    Sharp objects may unravel threads

    Threads protrude from the material, so please be careful not to catch sharp items under them as they may unravel.

    Fabric may pucker around the edges of embroidery

    The embroidered design on the cover is quite large, so the material may be slightly puckered, or wrinkled, around its edges.

    Threads may protrude from embroidered area

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

    Interior of cover may be loose

    The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

    Stitching may be slightly curved or bumpy.

    Stitching may be slightly curved or bumpy as a result of sewing together materials of various thicknesses.

    Lace bookmarks may contain frays

    The bookmarks of this cover use original mina perhonen lace straps. If you see any loose threads, we recommend refraining from pulling on it and instead tucking it between other woven threads.

    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.

    Inquiries about the minä perhonen collaboration covers

    These Hobonichi Techo cover designs were directed by minä perhonen, but produced by Hobonichi. Inquiries about these covers cannot be answered at minä perhonen shop locations, so please contact the Hobonichi Store with any questions or concerns.

    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.

    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.

    Outer stitching may be slightly distorted

    Due to the relatively thick material, stitching around the border of the product may inevitably appear slightly curved.
