There is something I have been wondering.
Various manufacturers regularly put out new notebooks with specialty covers either as a yearly special or a limited edition product.
My question is, why don’t they start making covers instead/as well?
Hobonichi, Midori, Kokuyo and some others make basic covers but none make decorated paper, plastic, vinyl or fabric covers that can be moved between notebooks.
It would be nice to be able to get a fabric cover printed with something like Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
OK, I took delivery of an example today. Here’s my report.
If this kind of thing isn’t readily available in North America there’s definitely a business opportunity here. This is not complicated to make, looks gorgeous, feels gorgeous in the hands, and makes even the crap notebook core I used for the test a work of art.
Look at the last (sixth) picture to see a scrollshot of one of the Taobao shops that specializes in these.
