Hobonichi 2025 A5 Planner Cover [Mina Perhonen: Jellybeans + Tambourine]

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 watercolour drops and embroidered dotted circles.



The material is linen and pleasant to the touch. The “tambourine” embroidery adds a fun touch.

The butterfly-stopper pen holders and cover interior are a refreshing light blue. Two dotted lace bookmarks are attached.



Each cover contains a unique arrangement of the pattern. We hope you enjoy your one-of-a-kind cover.

Also available is a small tote bag made with the same textile.

About minä perhonen

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.
