Hobonichi Cover beautiful people: Nothing to Hide - Pink (A5)
The Hobonichi Cover „beautiful people: Nothing to Hide“ in Pink is a collaboration with the Japanese fashion brand beautiful people and brings its philosophy directly into the cover: transparency as a design principle. The translucent PVC with embossed crocodile leather pattern lets the Techo underneath remain visible – the cover doesn't hide anything, it frames. The combination of semi-transparent pink and a color-contrasting inner pocket accent with embossed shrink leather texture creates depth, even though the material itself is flat and lightweight.
Features
- Translucent PVC with crocodile embossing: The material is semi-transparent, so the inserted Techo book remains visible through the cover – a conscious design statement. The crocodile embossing creates a tactile surface that visually resembles natural leather but is water and stain resistant.
- Three-fold structure with snap button: The cover folds into three parts and closes securely with a snap button embossed with the beautiful people logo – no magnetic closure that could damage cards.
- Four inner pockets on the left: Two card slots (for business cards or small notes), a zip pocket for important documents or cash, and an open bottom pocket – ideal for sticky notes or as a „visible storage“ for favorite items.
- Color accent with embossed texture: The inner pocket is in a contrasting color tone and refined with shrink leather embossing – two material impressions that overlap in the design.
- Pen loop: A pen loop inside holds pens by their clip – works particularly well with pens that have a pronounced clip, such as slim rollerball or ballpoint pens.
- beautiful people logo: Subtly embossed on the back of the cover and on the left inner pocket – visible but not intrusive.
- Collection packaging: The cover comes in exclusive packaging designed specifically for this Hobonichi collaboration. No bookmarks included.
Application & Tips
- Compatible with: The Hobonichi Techo Cousin in A5 format. The cover is not designed for cover-on-cover use.
- Visible Storage: The open bottom pocket is large enough for sticky note pads or small cards – if you like working with colored note papers, you can insert them here visibly and personalize the cover further.
- PVC Care: Avoid prolonged contact with other PVC products or printed materials – the material can discolor or warp with sustained contact. Store dry and protected from light.
- Pen Recommendation: The pen loop grips the clip – particularly reliable with pens that have a stable, springy clip. Pens without a pronounced clip may slip out.
For Cover Enthusiasts
beautiful people was founded in 2006 by designer Hidenori Kumakiri. The brand works with the principle of conscious contrast: soft against hard, transparent against textured, simple against playful. This is exactly what is reflected in this cover – the smooth, cool PVC meets the tactile crocodile embossing, the transparency of the outer material meets the matte, textured color accent of the inner pocket. The „Nothing to Hide“ motif is not merely a decorative concept, but is carried through in the product design: the Techo underneath remains visible, the cover doesn't lie over it, but beside it.
