This is a cover from minä perhonen, a brand that creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.
“glass flower” is a textile that expresses a luminous layering of colors reminiscent of glass painting. We chose it so that you can carry your techo with the same kind of joy you’d feel walking around with a bouquet of flowers.
The fabric is a soft cotton material, and we chose a cream yellow for the inner lining. The cover comes with two bookmarks in green and pink.
The zipper pull is made out of natural leather, and the butterfly-shaped fastening adds a cute touch.
This is a cover that will keep you feeling cheerful and vibrant every day.
minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.
First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.

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.
This cover is produced and sold by Hobonichi Co., Ltd. under the design direction of minä perhonen. Inquiries about these covers cannot be answered at minä perhonen shop locations, so please contact the Hobonichi Store with any questions or concerns.
Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
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 may transfer to other items through friction or prolonged contact. This risk increases when the cover is exposed to water or sweat, so please take extra care when carrying it near clothing or other belongings.
Due to the naturally-occuring naps (knots and lumps in the material), the print may contain some white spots. This is caused by originally-present naps being printed on, and these naps later coming off the cover. Please understand this is an unavoidable aspect of the all-natural material.
