Paddington™: Paddington™ (Gift) A6 Original Size - Techo Lineup

Paddington™Paddington™ (Gift)A6 Original Size

The title character from the children’s book published in 1958, A Bear Called Paddington, is now available on a Hobonichi Techo cover.

Paddington™ is a bear who traveled alone from Peru to England, and lives with the Brown family in London. He wears a trademark red hat and blue coat, and loves marmalade sandwiches. He writes letters about his daily life and sends them to his Aunt Lucy in the Home for Retired Bears where she lives in Peru.

Gift is a techo cover with a warm-looking and textured orange sailcloth, reminiscent of the color of marmalade. It is adorned with a single color silk-printed design that depicts a scene from Paddington’s Christmas, where Paddington receives a scrapbook as a gift from Mr. Gruber.

The cover interior is a light brown color to match Paddington’s fur. The right-hand pocket is printed with a scene where Paddington immediately gets to work writing in his scrapbook the night he received his gift.

The two bookmark ribbons are red and blue to match Paddington’s hat and coat. The exterior pocket is adorned with a Paddington tag.

Printed inside the exterior pocket is an image of the back of Paddington as he pulls his gift from the gift bag.

You can also buy a pencil board that matches the color scheme to use as a set.

Paddington’s hearty curiosity has him trying all kinds of new things, and we hope you can spend 2025 alongside him, making exciting memories.

In addition to the techo, our Paddington™ lineup includes stationery and accessories that make a great set when used together.

Filled with the appeal of Paddington

Paddington is a famous children’s book. I happened to read it, and was entranced by the beautiful artwork and interesting story.

Paddington is gentlemanly and curious, and I felt heartened and bold with all the new things he tried in his daily adventures. The kindness and charm of all the characters in the story had me laughing and crying as I read. At one point in the story, Paddington receives a scrapbook as a Christmas gift, and when I saw that, I felt like it matched the Hobonichi Techo perfectly. I knew I wanted to make that into a techo.

The Original and Cousin cover designs have detailed line drawings that appeal to anyone, regardless of whether they’ve ever seen Paddington before. The Weeks book has a color design with a symbolic illustration of Paddington that perfectly encapsulates the character.

The color illustrations are also so wonderful that we made it into a pencil board so people can enjoy that image as well. Using the pencil board along with these techos will let you immerse yourself even more into the world of Paddington.

We also have a collection of matching stationery and accessories, which include stickers, sticky notes, and a handkerchief. There’s also letter paper and a letter set as a nod to the way Paddington writes letters to his Aunt Lucy, and a paper bag set that I imagine Paddington would use to carry his favorite marmalade sandwiches or pastry. I hope you can add some fun into your day with these Paddington items!

Please Read Before You Buy

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.

Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining: Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.

Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide: 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.

Color and print may vary slightly: 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.
