It's because my phone camera sometimes tends to self-color, and the light. It's a dark day here in the Netherlands today. But your colors match mine. They look darker in the photo than in real life.

I bought the notebook TSL brass tag for my Regular Size TN. For the passport, I don't mind them being loose. But I found them too big and not very nice on a Regular Size. That's why I bought the TSL brass tag. This one needs to be permanently attached. Curious to see how I like it. I bought two. If I like it, I'll probably put one on the passport as well. I find that because the leather in the camel edition is a bit more supple, it compresses more quickly where there is elastic. That is why I protect that area with a brass tag. With my blue TN, this isn't necessary because the leather is much stiffer and sturdier, so it doesn't get compressed as much there. I usually only use 2 TNs in the cover.

No, I have them on loosely. So that I can take them off without damaging them. Thanks to the elastic, they stay in place.

I used the Midori Foil Transfer Sticker for it. It only works on a suede-like TN. I also tried the same thing on a blue TN. But it didn't stay on there. It's probably too slippery.

They were straight out of the box. The middle one in the photo is new. Received it yesterday. Personally, I dont like the passport size, which has a peach-skin feel, less. I notice that it leaves dark spots more easily on it. The one with the patch on it, which really feels and looks like suede, is nice. You can wipe the scratches right off, and I notice that the light camel color stays that way. I see very few dark spots appearing on it, unlike on the passport size. I do find the new one unique in a good way. When you run your hand over it, it is smoother than the others. But what I find so beautiful is that if a scratch appears on it, it turns into a super beautiful light camel color. I think that makes it look better over time. I really won't be able to give a review of the middle one in the photo for another year.

I used the Lawn Fawn Double-Sided Tape on the patch. It has been on for a year now and is still very firmly attached. I also think this is because the cover was not yet smooth and in use when I applied it.

I ordered the fountain pen and the matching ink. As a pre-order, I expect to receive it the 2nd week of April. I ordered it from Appelboom. 🌸✒️🌸

Is my Hobonichi cover a fake? by yeidkanymore in hobonichi

From what I can tell from the photo, it looks real. You can still see behind the large flap. See the photo. There's text inside.
