This slim PVC cover has a clear pocket as its main feature.

It closes with a snap button and has a design that fits any user in any setting. Foil-pressed in gold is the thought-provoking message, “Writing by hand is like sending your mind on a journey.”

We created a techo cover featuring “block printing,” a traditional Indian technique. The cover’s name is “phoolon,” meaning “flowers” in Hindi.

We created a techo cover featuring “block printing,” a traditional Indian technique. The cover’s name is “phoolon,” meaning “flowers” in Hindi.
The two fabrics applied to the front side are from “chahat,” a store that sells handcrafted materials from Nepal and India.

The three-dimensional colors and blurring produced by the wooden blocks are unique to block printing and cannot be expressed by screen printing, which has become mainstream today. Please enjoy the individual differences of the misalignments and ink splashes as the character of each piece. You can cherish the warm texture of the handmade work and the endearing and refreshing blue color.
