A Leather Notebook/Planner That Grows With You Handmade and Hand-sewn Original Design by a Japanese Creator Made from Premium Italian Leather "Minerva Box" Micro 5 size (M5, 100K) Includes an Original Pen Holder Attachable to Notebooks as You Like This notebook/planner is handmade and hand-sewn from one whole piece of premium Italian leather, "Minerva Box", a full vegetable-tanned leather by BADALASSI CARLO. Soft, smooth, and gentle in your hands from the first day. As you use it, the leather slowly changes, becoming deeper and more beautiful over time. This is a notebook/planner made to grow with you. Crafted One by One, by Hand Each piece is carefully hand-stitched, one stitch at a time, by a Japanese creator. The design is original. Since 2018, this notebook/planner has been shown every year at the Tokyo International Pen Show, where it has been warmly received by many stationery lovers. Light, Soft, and Comfortable to Carry Thin, light, and surprisingly soft. Perfect for people who prefer a light bag or like to carry more than one notebook. The leather is thick enough to protect your pages, yet soft and flexible, so it feels comfortable even in a suit pocket. Fold, Hold, and Write Anywhere Because the planner is made from one whole piece of premium Italian leather, it can be folded back easily. You can hold it in one hand and write with the other like a jotter, even without a desk. You can lay both left and right pages flat for smooth writing. A beautiful balance of design and function. Materials You Can Trust The binder rings are made by Krause (Germany), known for durability. The back plate is wrapped and stitched in leather to prevent damage. If the metal parts ever need replacing, the planner can be repaired, so you can keep using the leather you’ve grown attached to. Original Removable Pen Holder Included Includes the original pen holder “Snappen”, made from the premium Italian leather Minerva Box. It comes with a board that allows you to attach the pen holder with snap buttons and bind it into the notebook/planner, so you can carry your favorite pen with it. It fits slim pens, fountain pens, or thick multi-color pens. The long design wraps the pen gently, protecting it from scratches and loss. You can also move it to other notebooks using a standard 2-hole punch, and enjoy different arrangements. Made Just for You You can customize the coloring by choosing from 9 leather colors and 16 stitching thread colors for the notebook/planner and pen holder. Each piece is made to order and fully hand-stitched. Match the planner and pen holder, or mix colors to create your own combination. *Thread color cannot be selected in the system.
