A brand born in England, Liberty Fabrics has gained fans around the world, and this “butterfly-stopper” style cover features their printed fabric.
Sasha Kiora is a small floral pattern reminiscent of the pastoral illustrations by Kate Greenaway, a representative picture book artist of the latter half of 19th century Britain. With pink and light blue anemones drifting through the breeze, and small buds and leaves peeking through, this elegant design is reminiscent of a windy meadow.
The fabric on the exterior is a Tana Lawn cotton, a material developed by Liberty Fabrics, which provides a smooth and silky feel that you will want to keep touching again and again.
The interior uses a soft, cotton-like material in a soft and gentle pale pink.
Blending cuteness and sophistication, this cover will surely uplift your spirits.
Storage pouches with the Sasha Kiora fabric are also available. With the Stappo, you can store the small items on your desk in an upright position, while the Drawer Pouch lets you carry all of your belongings with you in what feels like an organised drawer.
Liberty Fabrics is a fabric brand from England. Founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843-1917), who discovered the beauty of Japanese art during a World’s Fair in London in the 19th century.
The company originated as a small import shop with oriental ornaments and fabrics. The delicate silk and intricate hand-dyed art were praised by followers of the Aesthetic Movement, and in the 1880s, Liberty began printing high-quality cotton textiles as a way to recreate sturdy versions of the delicate Eastern silks.
In the 1920s, Liberty developed their original “Tana Lawn” cotton material, which looks and feels like silk and has a lightweight structure that allows it to drape beautifully. Liberty has created intricate prints bursting with color and complex designs ever since.

We’d also love to welcome comments from customers who purchased their techo outside the Hobonichi Store or received their book as a gift.
We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
The pen holder is designed to fit the 12.2 mm (0.48") diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive Bonus. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53") in diameter.
The cover's color and print pattern are created by dyeing or printing onto white fabric. While we take care to ensure consistency during production, slight variations in color or pattern may occur between individual items. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. Minor print blurring or uneven coloring may also be present. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.
