The Tragen is one of two Hobonichi covers I have found interesting (the second one is the Forbidden Fruit from a few years back). Normally I find Hobonichi art style extreme off-putting. Specially the ones that are usually discribed as "whimsical". If you do end up buying the Tragen I would not mind at all if you would do a review of it. I think it was quite popular, yet I have not seen many reviews of it on UA-cam. Mostly I would like to know what it's like to use it. For example does the pocket flap arround annoyingly if you use it without having it lay flat on a surface. Does the big magnet in the back feel odd to write on. Great video as always. I really enjoyed listening to your thoughts about what to buy.
Honestly it’s tempting to pick up a Tragen for that very reason - I haven’t seen much about what it’s actually like to use on a daily basis. I’m toying with picking up the Weeks one as I think I might try a Weeks for work next year.
Thanks for your timely reminder and great videos! I just pulled the trigger just now on 2 weeks for next year as I couldn’t decide on a colour so needed to see both in person. Will sell on the one that I don’t use.
I'm also a yellow lover and I went with the sushi fabric cover this year. I also considered the yellow triangles cover. I was disappointed that they didn't have the yellow in the colors line, but in general this felt like a huge year for yellow lovers and hobonichi. There were so many yellow cover options this year, or covers that had strong yellow accents. I had such a hard time choosing 😅 Which Etsy shop is your day free cover from? Did you end up getting anything on launch today?
Oh interesting that you thought that! I guess there are quite a few yellow pops, just no one yellow Weeks. LeatherMyStudio is the shop I got that cover from! I didn’t order anything today because for the first time I’ll be purchasing in person in Japan!
@@lethbridgepaper tysm! haha yeah maybe I'm wrong but I feel like hobonichi usually leans heavy into blues. Excited for you and your Japan trip! That sounds like so much fun!
for weeks you could go sushi or pistachio? also yes I tried the a6 original first and it was kinda impossible for me to write on + there's no space to really do any memory keeping, so I switched to cousin but now I got a hon cause I want the sturdier cover without putting additional covers on it
I like the sushi but I don’t like a CoC those bow and tie Weeks. Not sure why? I was the same with my Moomin one too and for how I use the Weeks currently I’d need to be able to use a CoC.
I've looked at the tragen. Still unsure if it will feel rough and set my teeth on edge! I've got a cherries weeks, original A6 and the A6 Masamune Kusano x junaida: Himitsu Stranger cover as I find oddly drawn to it! Couple of weeks clear covers and deco rush in cherries and sushi. I'm experimenting with A6 rather than cousin for memory keeping etc. I keep getting suckered into a cousin then regretting it! Love to see what you get. I know the web site was a challenge !!
I’ll be keen to know how you get on with the A6 for memory keeping. I woke up to a lot of people disappointed saying the website crashed and lots of things were sold out but I can only see one sold out item so I’m very confused?
I got to play with the Tragen at the LA pop up last week and was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to feel very nylon ish and shiny and that I would hate it but actually I loved it and have ordered it. It feels more like a smooth canvas and was really nice to the touch and not shiny or cheap feeling at all. I also LOVE my A6 for memory keeping. Hope that’s helpful

I did that a few years ago and then kept them both 🙈

Thank you! Hope you got everything you wanted!

I have two Tragen covers and love them. Very soft and smooth to the touch.
