Hobonichi Cover POTR: Stride - Evergreen (A5)
The Hobonichi Cover POTR: Stride in Evergreen is a cover sleeve for the Hobonichi Techo in A5 format (Cousin size), developed in collaboration with POTR – the lifestyle label of Yoshida & Co., a Japanese company with a long tradition in textile and bag manufacturing. The exterior material consists of laminated nylon with a matte finish; the Evergreen color brings a deep, muted green that oscillates between forest and olive tones. The cover consistently develops the Techo as a travel companion: it carries like a mini bag, not like a classical book binding.
Special Features
- Exterior material made of soft, bonded nylon with matte surface – durable and pleasantly tactile, without rustling or slipping
- Two large exterior pockets front and back, deep enough for smartphones, wallets or notes that are frequently needed throughout the day
- Two collapsible carrying handles and D-rings for the included, detachable shoulder strap – the Techo becomes a hands-free everyday bag
- Interior lining made of soft polyester, three card slots on the left as well as a transparent pocket in ID card size – tickets, business cards and ID are immediately within reach
- Interior pocket on the right: mesh zipper pocket for writing supplies, cables or travel essentials
- Pen holder with clip mechanism: thicker pens are clipped in, slimmer pens can be inserted directly – works with wide fineliner bodies as well as with slender fountain pens
- Two ribbons for the A5 Cousin pages
- Magnetic closure keeps the cover securely closed even as the Techo grows thicker throughout the year
- Handmade in Japan by Yoshida & Co.
Application & Tips
- The cover fits all A5 Cousin books with a book spine of up to approx. 1.27 cm (0.5 inches) – so it fits the Hobonichi Techo Cousin in all language versions and start dates
- The shoulder strap is removable: in the office the cover lies flat on the desk, while traveling it hangs from the shoulder
- The transparent interior pocket is ideal for a public transport card, hotel key card or your own business card – visible at a glance without searching
- Those who additionally collect loose note paper, stickers or ephemera in the Techo will find space in the exterior pockets for daily filling materials without burdening the book block
- The Evergreen nylon can transfer color to adjacent materials when wet – keep light-colored linings from other bags separate or dab briefly
- The clip pen holder grips securely on most fountain pens with standard clip; it works particularly well with slender pens of medium barrel length
For Hobonichi Enthusiasts
POTR is not an accessories label, but an independent brand presence of Yoshida & Co. – the company behind the cult bag brand Porter. The manufacturing principles from bag construction flow directly into the covers: the nylon is refined with a bonding process that densifies the surface while creating the matte, almost velvety feel. All Hobonichi-POTR covers are handmade in Japan, which can result in minimal variations in seam appearance and color depth – a characteristic of craftsmanship. The Evergreen coloring is deep and saturated in direct light, almost neutral-gray in shadow – a color that can be worn regardless of context.
