Pastel Stripes (Light Gray)A5 Size (fits Cousin)

      This colorful cover features blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple pastel stripes over a light gray background. In the past, striped covers for the Hobonichi Techo have almost always been limited to two colors, so this multicolored design is quite special.



      The width of the stripes and spaces between them have been carefully designed so the varied stripe colors match in width. The pastel colors are colorful yet calming, and match well with both men and women.



      Look closely at the stripes, and you’ll see that they’re not perfectly straight, but have slightly uneven edges to give it an expressive look that will pull you in.

      The pen holders and cover interior are a lovely blue-green.



      The cover is made from a fine-grain polyester that feels pleasant to the touch and is reminiscent of cotton and other natural material.

      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

      When this cover is open flat, 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 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 13.5 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.
