A5 Organiser System Planner with Leather Hinge in Navy

This is a system planner that opens with a hinge crafted from leather and thread. It is an A5 size (paper size is 210x148mm, 6-hole type). The distinctive leather hinge is created using a method we've developed through extensive research. It involves intricate cutting and shaping, followed by painstaking adjustment of each "tooth" to ensure a perfect fit. The hinge offers more than just a unique appearance. It opens flat, so it won't spontaneously close due to creases. The repeated bending at the hinge point also minimizes deterioration over time. The material is a thick, 2mm vegetable-tanned cowhide, renowned for its beautiful aging process. The glossy surface is a characteristic of aniline-dyed leather. The A5 size is the largest and is often considered ideal for business use. With a 15mm ring diameter, it comfortably holds up to approximately 100 sheets of specialized paper. We've included 50 sheets of 5mm graph paper from "Étrier de Costa Rica Memory Fill A5RF-G-01," a personal favorite, to get you started immediately. This thoughtful inclusion ensures that first-time users can begin right away, while experienced users have a convenient starting point. We hope you'll personalize your planner by combining it with a wide variety of commercially available papers, diaries, indexes, and clear pockets. For maintenance, use a delicate cream sparingly. Since this item doesn't experience the same stresses as bags or shoes, the natural oils from your hands are often sufficient. In fact, be mindful of over-applying leather creams or oils. The metal rings are designed to be screwed in, allowing for replacement if they ever break. We hope you enjoy the rich, evolving character of the leather as you use it. 【About Tochigi Leather】 This leather retains the natural markings of the hide, such as pores and veins, and carries a subtle, toasty aroma when brought close.
