Candy StripperRandom Dog & Cat (Pink)A6 Original Size
- 2026 New
This retro-pop butterfly stopper cover is made from a glossy enamel material and scattered with photos of adorable dogs and cats. Created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Candy Stripper, a beloved fashion brand since its founding in 1995, this is our third collaboration cover together.
A design filled with irresistible charm, featuring random placements of dog and cat photos interspersed with English wording. The shiny enamel texture and soft pink background bring out the playful, stylish vibe.
The inside of the cover is also a soft solid pink. Take a peek at the right pocket and you’ll spot a round-eyed Shih Tzu!
The left pocket features the brand logo, and the two bookmark strings in pink and blue add a fun accent.
We also made a flat pouch using the same material as the cover. The A6-size pouch (pink) perfectly fits the HON (A6), and the A5-size pouch (black) fits the HON (A5) just right.
With its playful spirit and genre-free design, Candy Stripper has always delivered fashion that empowers people to express themselves freely, regardless of age or gender. With this cover by your side, you’ll feel like you’re dressed in your favorite outfit every day—ready to enjoy life with confidence and joy.
About Candy Stripper

If you’ve used any of these products, we welcome your notes on what you like about them or what led you to buy them so we can share it with customers who are currently considering these products. We’d also love to welcome comments from customers who purchased their techo outside the Hobonichi Store or received their book as a gift.
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.
- Avoid prolonged contact with printed materials or vinyl products
Extended contact with printed items or vinyl products may cause sticking, color transfer, deformation, or damage. Please take care to store and use the item accordingly.
- 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.
