Perfect cover for the chunky ones

This Midori Codex clear cover is absolutely perfect for my very chunky Hobonichi Avec. Knowing my journal is protected and able to withstand daily use is important to me - and this product fits the bill!

Hobonichi Cousin

I finally found a planner with all the features I needed. The paper texture is very nice, but I've never used anything this thin. I can't wait to start using it.

Tiny but functional

Love this wallet. It can hold so much. The zippers are strong and the materials are quality. I am so happy that Hobonichi made this available internationally this year.
