Renaissance Art Cover For Hobonichi Techno


annettefhorn

Recommended Posts

I ordered a custom Renaissance Art cover for my Hobonichi Techno planner. It's the small custom cover in wintergreen. The measurements I gave them were 5 7/8" high by 4 1/8" wide by 5/8" deep. It arrived safely in only about a week. I really like the leather and the simplicity: this is a book cover, period. No extra pockets, no closures, no bookmarks, no pen loops. It has a comfortable, rustic feel to it.The leather is beautiful and I'm sure will get better with age.

 

Sorry about the lighting. The leather is a deep forest green that leans slightly toward yellow. It's dark but still obviously green.

In case anyone is ordering one of these, I think I overestimated the width just a smidge. Not enough to matter, really, but if I order another at some point I think I will do 4 1/16" instead of 4 1/8". Gotta love those mm to inch conversions.

It is really handsome! (Now I'm going to have to check out Renaissance Art.)

I LOVE Renaissance Art Leather! I have 2 custom made cover for my Rhodia notebooks. I also have one of their notebooks. I like the fact that you can purchase a pack of sample paper from them, the cost of the sample pack will go toward your purchase of one of their products. I was able to pick the perfect paper to use with my fountain pens.

I'm sticking to my Exacompta weekly planner for next year because I bought the 2015 refill before learning about Hobonichi. Blargh! But I'm hoping to transition to Hobonichi for 2016 and this cover looks like a keeper. The covers offered by Hobonichi and other 3P mfgs are mostly froo-froo girly. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing - I have been contemplating doing something similar and appreciate seeing the final product of such an order.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
