Single ColorVellutoA5 Size (fits Cousin)
We’ve designed a simple Zippers cover that can fit well into any scenario.
The calm color scheme is also well-suited for both business and personal use.
The cover material is a high quality Italian polyurethane faux leather that makes it lightweight and easy to carry around. The embossing on the entire surface gives the material a sophisticated look.
The name “velluto” means “velvet” in Italian, which illustrates the striking deep green of this cover. We chose this name because the deep, glossy green makes the material look like elegant velvet fabric.
The cover interior is also an elegant shade of deep green. The zipper pull uses the same material as the cover for an overall stylish look.
This cover is perfect for active users who wants to use it at work and during personal time.
*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.)

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.
- 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.
