Hobonichi Cover Natal Design: Hello New Day! - Retro Stripe (A5)
The Hobonichi Techo A5 Cover by Natal Design features the pattern "Hello New Day! – Retro Stripe": a striped design in vintage style that transfers the outdoor and streetwear aesthetics of the Japanese label directly onto the Techo. Natal Design is known for its graphics inspired by workwear from past decades – the Retro Stripe brings this characteristic approach to an everyday-friendly A5 format. The cover fits the Hobonichi Techo Cousin book in A5 size and is supplied separately without an inner book.
Special Features
- Natal Design 2027 Collection: the outdoor fashion pioneer's first collaboration with Hobonichi.
- A5 format (Cousin size): offers significantly more writing space on the daily pages of the Cousin book than the A6 original – ideal for detailed daily planning, sketches or collages.
- Integrated pockets: multiple compartments of different sizes inside and outside – from business cards to postcards, you can keep everything within reach.
- Two purple bookmark ribbons: allow you to mark two positions in the book simultaneously, such as the daily page and monthly overview.
- The outer material is stain-repellent 1000D nylon, the inner material consists of burgundy PU.
- Pen loop up to 13.5 mm diameter: accommodates slim fountain pens, fineliners or ballpoint pens – the loop is initially tight and loosens with regular use.
Application & Tips
- Breaking in the pen loop: The loop can be made more flexible by rolling it repeatedly between your palms before permanently inserting a favorite pen.
- Pocket organization: The inner compartments are suitable for printed monthly plans, receipts or small postcards – this keeps the book itself free for content.
- Cover on Cover: This cover is not suitable for use with a Hobonichi Cover on Cover.
- Care of the outer material: Dust and lint can be removed with a lint roller. Adhesive tape with strong adhesive should be avoided as it can damage the surface.
- Storage: Heat and humidity can affect color and material – the cover should not be stored under constant pressure.
For Planner Enthusiasts
Natal Design became known in Japan as a brand for vintage-inspired outdoor fashion and brings motifs from work and leisure clothing of the post-war decades into contemporary design. The Retro Stripe pattern follows this design philosophy: horizontally structured color blocks that recall classic American workwear stripes. For the Hobonichi Techo ecosystem, this means a cover that stands out visually from the typical notebook context.
