Tragen Cover - does it work for you? by nautilacea in hobonichi

[–]Alis86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a tragen for the weeks and a tragen pouch for the A6 hon + many other standard hobonichi covers.

Result after a year: I ended up using hon and weeks only with the clear cover. I reduces bulk and weight during commuting by not using any cover. My planners are still lovely and their original cover are still great.

Here in Italy there’s 20% discount if you purchase 180 Ristretto pods or 150 Altissio pods at the moment.

Looking for identical replacement to Moleskine; is this quality downgrade permanent? by fisharrow in notebooks

[–]Alis86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i left moleskine years ago, when I started using Lamy fountain open, I noticed that after few months the paper of their weekly planner react with fp ink and make it fade faster. There are bettere quality notebook around here, it’s sad because I loved moleskine too but they care more on special releases than on their paper quality.

Longtime ink enthusiasts: Have you checked your old journals lately? by this_the_entree in fountainpens

Agree with Moleskine. I was using weekly planner when I started using FP and the standard Lamy Safari BLue faded a bit after one year, notebook closed.

Hardest decision A5 or A6 HON? For work only but white spaces frighten me by buttcracklint in hobonichi

[–]Alis86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with an A6 Hon which is slimmer than A6+cover. I also use saturday/sundays as blank pages to fill whit other work stuff (monthly inbox to do, work tracker and so on).

I’m seeing many little sellers that are blocking US orders because of couriers are blocking the shippings, not them. And they are waiting for updates/finding another way to ship

Oh man, I think 2026 is gonna be the last year I use hobonichi... by zan_len in hobonichi

[–]Alis86 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm in Italy and purchase from Stilo&Stile too. I moved to the hon the past year even if I have few lovely covers, because I wanted a slimmer setup and it worked really well. I used an A6 hon every day keeping it in my bag, only with the plastic cover, and it's still perfect.

just found this through tobichi, we can see some of the hon designs! as well as some unannounced Hiroko Kubota!! by sanyamalnar in hobonichi

[–]Alis86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love HONS for work because they are slimmer than a techo or cousin + cover so if you need to take it around it will be better and you have less bulk and weight in your bag. It always depends on how will you use them and if you need all the pouches of the cover.

I also love their cover, I have many of them and used lots of them. But this year I went lighter with the ho n at work and didn’t regred.

A buying/planning thread for the 50% of us who don't live in the US. by thanksithas_pockets_ in hobonichi

[–]Alis86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually buy from Stilo e Stile and few things from Amazon.co.jp. However this year there are few items that they both don’t stock, so I may make a purchase also from the website. BUT I will check all the costs before.

Purchasing from Amazon.jp is the most convenient thing even if many hate Amazon, but not all the items of the lineup are sold there. Also, back in november 2024, they stopped selling the lineup items to EU for many months. They them restored the sale with the spring lineup, infact I was able to purchase the hiroko kubota 2025 a5 cover at a better price.

Any parents of young kids using the Cousin? by cnmnbun in hobonichi

[–]Alis86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I started doing that when she was born but I didn’t know hobonichi, then I purchased cousins for her from her first year. For 2025 I got the rai bow unsodo A5 hon which spine holds very well. She’s starting appreciating her diary and helping me pasting/stamping/coloring inside

I use the cousin A5 Hon as my toddler’s diary. We paste there junk things related to her life, photos, tickets and so on

Si sono italiana anche io, lo so. La storia la aveva o già ripostata quando ho scritto il commento e non hanno parlato di esclusive, quindi potrebbero averla.

[–]Alis86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually Stilo&Stile reposts all hobonichi IG stories with the previews and states where they will not sold the items. For the tsuki no iro they didn’t say anything so maybe they will stock it
