Taut Zipped (Café au Lait Plaid)A5 Cousin Size

    We created a smart Zippers cover that fits snugly over the techo. The gussets are minimized to make the techo as compact as possible.



    The fabric is made by “Bonotto,” a Northeast Italian brand that has established a solid position in the Italian fashion industry as a manufacturer that creates cutting-edge fashion every season. It has a plaid pattern with an imposing milky brown resembling café au lait.







    The surface size is smaller compared to our regular Zippers covers.







    It is not too thick and easy to carry around.







    The pen hook holds the pen by its clip.







    The left-hand side of the inner cover has three pockets. These can hold cards, sticky notes, and other small items.







    The leather zipper pull uses the same material as the spine.







    We also have a tote bag made of the same fabric.
