Hobonichi Covers: A Guide for 2026 Planners & All Sizes Explained
Every September is known as "Hobonichi Month" in the planner community, with excitement building around the release of the new Hobonichi planners.
We’re excited to introduce our 2026 collection of leather covers for Hobonichi planners! Since 2012, we have been crafting leather planner covers to pair perfectly with the iconic Hobonichi planners, known for their use of fountain pen-friendly Tomoe River paper. With the release of Hobonichi's 2026 planners, we’ve created a video to showcase our leather covers, which are available in different sizes and styles to suit each planner option.
In this video, we walk you through our leather cover options for every Hobonichi planner size, explaining the features, styles, and fit of each one. Whether you prefer the compact A6, the spacious A5, or the versatile Weeks, we’ve got a cover to match.

FAQs (Hobonichi 2026)
Do you sell Hobonichi planners?
No. We make and sell leather covers that fit Hobonichi planners. Planner books are not available from us.

We use high-quality veg-tanned leathers (including undyed options). Colors/pulls may vary slightly batch to batch and develop patina over time.

The Evil Eye: Charming Your Order with a Little Something Special
The evil eye is the idea that a curse or projection of bad energy can be put on another person simply through a glare with a negative emotion behind it. By possessing an evil eye charm, it's Turkish cultural belief you can ward off the negative effects of the eye and even function as a shield against it. The eye can be hung, mounted, or even put on a bracelet or amulet. Evil eye jewelry gives some people a feeling of security against the malicious will of others.
