Hobonichi Cover mina perhonen: felice - Blue (A6)

The Hobonichi A6 cover in minä perhonen's "felice" design features a textile from the Autumn/Winter 2024–25 collection: birds and butterflies gently approaching blossoms – a pattern that translates the idea of shared joy into fabric. The exterior is made from linen, with the zip pull crafted from cowhide leather and a small butterfly charm. Inside, a blue PU lining quietly complements the warmth of the pattern.

Features

• Felice textile (AW 2024–25): Hand-drawn minä perhonen pattern – butterflies and birds among blossoms on a linen base. The natural linen texture gives the motif a light, living quality, with the fabric's subtle weave allowing the pattern to breathe.
• Zip closure: The cover closes completely – keeping the notebook block, loose notes and inserted cards secure during transport without requiring an additional band or elastic strap.
• Interior pen holder: A pen hangs from the clip loop and sits firm and ready to hand. Suitable for slender pens up to approximately 13.5 mm in diameter – ideal for most fountain pens, fineliners and slim ballpoints.
• Two bookmarks: Already integrated, so multiple pages – such as weekly overview and current page – can remain permanently marked.
• Leather zip pull with butterfly charm: This small detail in natural leather carries forward minä perhonen's brand message – "light as butterfly wings" – through haptic sensation too.
• Blue PU inner lining: The cool, even interior contrasts the vividly patterned exterior and creates a quiet moment when you open the cover.
• Fit: Designed for the Hobonichi Techo in A6 format (Original and Planner). Not compatible with Hobonichi Cover on Cover.

Use & Tips

• Fountain pens and fineliners: The pen holder accommodates pens with a clip – a fountain pen with a slim body (such as TWSBI Eco, compact travel pens) sits securely and pulls out without searching. Pens exceeding 13.5 mm in diameter may be difficult to remove.
• Daily carry: The zip makes the cover practical for everyday bag use – business cards, small notes or receipts tucked into the inner pocket won't slip about.
• Care of the linen cover: Linen is sensitive to prolonged moisture and friction. Store the cover in a dry place and avoid stacking it permanently under other items to prevent colour transfer.
• Compatible with Hobonichi notebook blocks: The cover is supplied without a notebook block – Hobonichi Original A6 or Planner A6 are inserted separately. This allows you to change the block annually whilst keeping the cover.
• Gift-worthy: The packaging and distinctive pattern make this cover a thoughtful gift for calendar lovers and daily planner enthusiasts who value textile quality.

For Hobonichi & Textile Enthusiasts

minä perhonen was founded in 1995 by designer Akira Minagawa – initially under the name minä, since 2003 as minä perhonen. In Finnish, "minä" means "I", "perhonen" means "butterfly" – a name expressing Minagawa's desire to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as butterfly wings. The brand's hallmark is hand-drawn textile patterns that serve as the starting point for elaborately woven, embroidered or dyed fabrics. The "felice" motif from the AW 2024–25 collection is among the textiles also used in the coveted "piece," patchwork cover series by Hobonichi – there, fabric remnants from clothing production are hand-sewn together by machine, so each piece is unique. This cover here showcases the felice motif in its original weave structure, undivided and in blue – the pattern unfolds exactly as Minagawa originally conceived it.
