The distinct white line running down the front cover is the trademark of this annual design. 

The pure white stripe laid over an ivory background provides an elegant look that works well in the workplace without feeling stuffy.

This smart-looking Black book has been one of the best-selling Weeks designs since the Weeks joined the lineup in 2011, thanks to its unique look of the white stripe laid over a basic black background for a stark contrast. 

Kinran is a Japanese brocade made by cutting thin slices of paper covered in gold foil and using them as threads to weave together the design. We created a Weeks using this technique. 

The fabric comes from yuge fabric farm, a handicraft shop run by Enima Design. The company also runs Essential Store, a shop that stocks antiques, artwork, and clothing from within Japan and overseas. 

We created a Weeks book using illustrations by illustrator Yumi Kitagishi, who’s artwork has made waves all over the world. 

The world in Kitagishi’s acrylic gouache paintings evoke lovely, warm feelings of gazing at an enchanting picture book. 

The theme of this Weeks book is Beautiful Wallpaper. We rearranged this artwork from some dollhouse wallpaper that Kitagishi designed. How amazing would it be to spend time in a room covered in this wallpaper? Being able to envision something like that is what makes this romantic and gentle-looking cover such a joy to use. 

This slim PVC cover has a clear pocket as its main feature. The cover name “Alettone” refers to the part of an aircraft’s wings called an aileron, due to the way the techo cover’s lid can similarly fold shut with a snap. The soft PVC material makes it light and comfortable to carry, while the subdued color scheme gives it a sense of elegance. 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.”

This Zippers cover is made from a beautiful textile from the venerable fabric brand Liberty Fabrics. 

Michelle is a flower pattern launched in 1933 designed by artist “DS,” whose works also include Liberty Fabrics’ signature patterns Betsy and Wiltshire. It is sprinkled with flowers of various colors and shapes, such as pale pink, orange, vermilion, and other red tones, pale navy, sky blue, and other blue tones.

minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs. 

We created a techo cover using two textiles: “jellybeans,” which once appeared in the Hobonichi Techo lineup, and “tambourine,” which has been popular among many. The playful design features two shapes of “circles” that happily overlap: the fluffy, sweet-looking watercolor drops and embroidered dotted circles.

We’ve designed a simple Zippers cover that can fit well into any scenario. 

The calm color scheme is also well-suited for both business and personal use. 

The cover material is a high quality Italian polyurethane faux leather that makes it lightweight and easy to carry around. The embossing on the entire surface gives the material a sophisticated look.

We created a cover to carry stationery and other useful items along with your techo. Its name is “tragen,” which means “to carry” in German. 

Although the unique pocket holds plenty, the appearance of the cover remains simple and sleek. The design would look great for all users.
