Pocket (Mini 6-Hole) Organiser Leather Hinge System Planner Black

This is a planner that opens with a hinge crafted from leather and thread. It is a mini 6-hole size (pocket size), designed for 127x80mm paper refills. The distinctive leather hinge is a result of our independently researched crafting method. It involves intricate cutting and shaping, followed by painstakingly shaving each individual tooth to adjust the interlocking fit. The advantages of this hinge extend beyond its unique appearance. It opens flat, so it won't close on its own due to creasing. The areas that bend during opening and closing also experience significantly less deterioration. The material is a thick, 2mm-thick natural tanned cowhide, chosen for its superior aging properties. Its lustrous top grain is characteristic of aniline-dyed leather. The mini 6-hole size is attractive for its compactness. We've made it as small as possible, so please check the dimensions to ensure it suits your needs. The ring diameter is 15mm, comfortably holding around 100 sheets of paper. To allow you to start using it immediately, we've included 50 sheets of our preferred "Stripe-lined refill from etranger di costarica" (5mm grid). This thoughtful inclusion is for both new users and experienced ones, aiming for practicality. Feel free to customize your planner with a variety of commercially available inserts, diaries, indexes, and clear pockets to create a truly personal item. For maintenance, use a delicate cream sparingly. As this item experiences less stress than bags or shoes, the natural oils from your hands are often sufficient. In fact, be cautious of over-applying leather creams or oils. The metal rings are designed with screws for easy replacement should they ever break. We hope you enjoy the rich evolution of the leather over time.
