HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

    ORDERS CLOSEDWEB SHOP ONLY

    piece, (blue mix)A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    minä perhonen creates all-original textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered and woven to recreate designs that were originally hand-drawn. "piece," patchwork covers are made with all the leftover pieces of textiles saved when creating clothing and handbags so they don't go to waste.

    This color-coordinated “blue mix” collection includes 7 different designs, each with a unique texture, thickness, material, and even age. Each fabric patch is cut from a different spot in the original textile and sewn into the patchwork by hand, giving every cover an entirely unique look.

    The navy cow leather cover interior and pen holders are accented with dotted lace bookmarks.

    Due to the limited nature of the textile leftovers used in the patchwork, this cover is available through lottery sale. For more information, please see the About Lottery Sales section below.

    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.

    Interior of cover may be loose

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

    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.

    Patchwork patterns vary by cover

    The textiles comprising the patchwork design differ by design and location for each cover. Please understand the random nature of the design before ordering.

    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.

    Pattern alignment varies by cover

    The exact alignment of the pattern across the cover varies by design, so your product will appear slightly differently than the product page example.

    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.

    Stitching may be slightly curved or bumpy.

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