ColorsNavyA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    The Colors series is a regular part of our cover lineup, available in a variety of solid colors and always featuring a basic style with pen holders to keep your cover shut. We’ve implemented many improvements over the years in response to customer input, making the Colors series one of the most user-friendly options in the lineup.



    Navy is always one of our most popular selections in the Colors lineup. It fits well in a professional setting, but is also at home in any place at any time. This versatile cover is also a solid choice when buying someone a Hobonichi Techo set as a gift.



    High-quality polyester construction gives this cover its sturdy feel and subtle shine — it’s durable enough to last a long time but light enough to carry with you everywhere.



    The “butterfly-stopper” pen holders act as a hinge, keeping the cover safely shut while you store a pen inside.







    The cover contains two bookmarks, one with a rectangle charm and one with a triangle charm, so you can keep your place in two parts of the book, such as the monthly calendar and the daily page.







    Sold separately is the Cover on Cover. In addition to protecting your cover from wear and tear, the Cover on Cover is a great place to store postcards, pictures, and other decorations to customize your cover at any time.

    You can even buy a few of the illustrated Cover on Covers and switch them out with the changing seasons.

    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.

    Color and print may vary slightly

    This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.

    Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining

    Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.

    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.

    Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide

    The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.

    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.
