HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

    TembeaTote Book (Mustard)A5 Size (fits Cousin)

    This simple canvas Zippers cover was made in collaboration with Tembea, a Japanese bag maker popular for its tote bags.



    The coarse, off-white cotton canvas surface feels pleasant to the touch and is outlined with subtle mustard-yellow piping. You can handle the cover as roughly as you would a sturdy tote bag, and never tire of its nice look as you carry it with you every day.



    The fabric is created with an old-fashioned shuttle-weaving loom. The process is slow and articulate, creating a dense fabric that’s soft, plump, and durable.



    The large right pocket is made with the same material as the cover exterior.

    The zipper pull is a ring, and the cover includes a single gray bookmark to match the look of the cover.



    The piping is available in a different color for each cover size.



    Also available is the Baguette Tote which has a pocket with more than enough room for the Hobonichi Techo.

    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.

    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.

    Overstuffing the cover may result in tearing or damage

    This cover is designed to store tools, documents, and other stationery together with the planner book. Attempts to close the cover when it contains too many items may damage the material. Please avoid storing more than the cover can hold.

    Interior of cover may be loose

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

    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.
