Hobonichi Cover Tragen: Purple (Weeks)
The Hobonichi Cover Tragen in Purple is a triple-fold protective shell made of nylon with polyester inner lining and cow leather details – designed for the Hobonichi Weeks. The reddish-toned purple nylon shifts between warm red and deep violet depending on the light. A key feature of this series is the generous zippered pocket, which clearly distinguishes the cover from slim wrapper covers and actively creates space – for pens, cards, or everyday small items.
Highlights
- Large Zippered Pocket: Holds multiple pens, cards, or folded notes – accessible without opening the planner.
- Triple-Fold with Snap Button: The cover wraps around the Weeks and closes securely with a snap button; no accidental opening in bag or backpack.
- Interior Pen Holder with Clip: A permanently integrated pen clip on the inside keeps a pen within reach – ideal for fineliner pens or slim ballpoint pens up to approximately 11 mm outer diameter.
- Nylon Outer Material: Lightweight, abrasion-resistant, and form-stable; the fabric does not permanently retain pressure marks from the bag.
- Cow Leather Details: Button and accents made of genuine leather; the material develops its own patina with use.
- Purple Colorway: Reddish-toned, rich purple color – bold enough to be immediately found in any bag, yet broken in the nylon texture and not garish.
Use & Tips
- Commuting and On-the-Go: The zippered pocket is suitable for a short-trip essentials kit – two or three pens of different weights, a folding card, a stamp supply.
- Pen Recommendation: A slim rollerball or mechanical pencil sits reliably in the clip; for fountain pens with a larger clip, the zippered pocket is recommended as an alternative.
- Weekly Planner Workflow: Those who use the Hobonichi Weeks as a central weekly planner and regularly move between desk and conference room benefit from having pen and important cards always directly with the planner.
- Care: Nylon can be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth; leather details should occasionally be treated with a neutral leather care product to maintain softness.
- Compatibility: The cover fits exclusively on the Hobonichi Weeks – neither on the A6 Original nor on the A5 planner.
For Planner Enthusiasts
The Tragen series is positioned in the Hobonichi world as a functional counterpart to slim fabric and leather covers. The name "Tragen" – German for "to carry" – stands programmatically for the concept: everything needed for a day out in a single, flat object. The tri-fold construction keeps the opened cover more stable than a simple wrapper design, because the third fold line acts as a back support – practical for writing without a surface.
