Hobonichi 2027 A5 Cousin Cover: Glow – Chianti

Introducing Glow, a leather techo cover that grows more beautiful with use — developing a shine and patina that reflect the steps you’ve taken along the way.

The leather is “Toscano Liscio,” a smooth leather from Conceria 800 (Ottocento), a tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Made using the traditional Bagnetto method, in which 100% vegetable tannins are carefully worked into every single fibre, the surface is fine-grained and wonderfully pleasant to the touch.

The deep burgundy hue is named “Chianti,” inspired by the iconic Italian wine from the Tuscany region. It is treated with an aniline finish, allowing you to fully enjoy the rich patina the leather develops as it ages beautifully over time.

The cover folds into thirds in a simple design that suits anyone. To keep stitching to a minimum, the leather is generously cut and the left sleeve is folded over and sewn together.

The inside of the cover is left unlined, keeping the thickness down while letting the natural character of the leather’s reverse side show through. A wax treatment smooths the surface and adds water resistance without compromising its natural feel and look. This cover has a design that strikes a fine balance between beauty and practicality.

The right sleeve is likewise kept minimal by stitching only along the top and bottom edges, leaving it open as a sleeve. The card pocket features a simple slit opening, and the flap closes with a magnetic button, keeping the overall design clean and understated.

A pen hook is included, designed to hold a pen by its clip.

One of the pleasures of a leather cover is being able to nurture your cover into something uniquely your own through the ageing process. We hope you’ll cherish every scratch and mark, and enjoy it for many years to come.

The Hobonichi Techo leather covers are made with all-natural materials that have their own unique appearance. Every leather cover is a one-of-a-kind, all-natural product, so you can feel good knowing your cover is the only one like it in the world.
