Liberty Fabrics: Hollyhocks (Orange) A5 Size (fits Cousin) - Techo Lineup

Liberty FabricsHollyhocks (Orange)A5 Size (fits Cousin)

2024 New

This “butterfly-stopper” style cover is made from a beautiful textile from the venerable fabric brand Liberty Fabrics.

The featured textile for this cover is “Hollyhocks,” inspired by the hollyhock flower that symbolizes the English garden. The design expresses innocence, purity, and serenity; the soft colors and touches of watercolor with blotches and shading create a fantastic atmosphere as if it is surrounded by light and shadow.

This cover is made with Liberty Fabric’s own “Tana Lawn” material, a meticulously processed cotton fabric with a soft, silken feel that offers prints in vibrant colors.

The cover interior uses a soft material that almost feels like cotton. The smoky green gives the cover a chic look.

The sweet design will make you feel refreshed in its presence.

*In the Hobonichi Techo 2024 lineup, the Cousin book is available as the Japanese edition and the English edition.

(The English edition is only available as the January start version.)

About Liberty Fabrics

Liberty Fabrics is a 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 Aesthetic Movement, and in the 1880s, Liberty began printing high-quality cotton textiles as a way to recreate sturdy versions of the delicate Eastern silks.

In the 1920s, Liberty developed their original “Tana Lawn” cotton material, which looks and feels like silk and has a lightweight structure that allows it to drape beautifully. Liberty has created intricate prints bursting with color and complex designs ever since.

Watercolor expressions with a sense of gentleness

The reason for selecting this textile was the freshness in the soft expression of the flowers drawn in watercolor.

Not only are there many different shapes and types of flowers in the design, but when you look closely, you will also see that the leaves are in many different colors and not all the same shade of green. It reminds us of the beautiful quality of Liberty Fabrics, with the patterns and coloring very finely coordinated.

We selected a calm and serene color for the inner cover, which gives an even more tender feeling.

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