Leather: Taut (Gray & Light Blue) Weeks Cover Only - Techo Lineup

LeatherTaut (Gray & Light Blue)Weeks Cover Only

2026 New

Taut is a series of leather covers that fit snugly around your techo for a sleek look, and this time, we have included a Weeks-sized cover in the lineup for the first time.

The leather used is called Seta Double, tanned by the North Italian company Poletto. The European hide was chrome-tanned to give this slightly matte yet clear leather. The name Seta comes from the Italian word for silk, and speaks for the silky smooth touch and natural finish of this leather.

The front of the cover is in a warm gray, while the back is in a cool-toned light blue. A specialized process was used to create this dual-tone on one single piece of leather. The unique sleekness of the leather makes it soft to the touch, and thanks to its finely grained texture, scuff marks will be less visible.

A key feature of this series is that the techo will look sleek and taut when you close the cover. The pen hook on the right side is designed to hold a pen by its clip.

In the cover interior, you will find a slit-type pocket, perfect for storing business and other cards. Included is a small bookmark, made with the same leather as the cover and pressed in gold foil with the Hobonichi logo. You can put this between the pages to always find your place.

Since the expression of the leather and texture differs from cover to cover, each piece is wholly unique.

The Hobonichi Techo leather covers are made with all-natural materials that have their own unique appearance. Every leather cover is a one-of-a-kind, all-natural product, so you can feel good knowing your cover is the only one like it in the world. Here are some of the unique characteristics you can expect to find.

- Markings that naturally occur during an animal’s life:

Wrinkles, veins, texture, and scratches

- Characteristics from the manufacturing process of natural leather:

Dark spots (occurs when components of the leather are exposed to iron in the air during the tanning and dyeing process)

About the pen hook: The pen hook of this cover is designed to hold a pen by its clip.

Leather may contain preexisting wrinkles and marks: In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks.
Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.
