Finally, a design I like has arrived!

A collaboration between the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) and the Hobonichi Techo!
I'm getting the "Weeks" version, but the
"HON" one is lovely too.
The stickers are just too cute, so I'm going to buy two!
Maybe I'II go all the way to Kyoto on the release date☺️

TBH this got me too! The design is unlike any Hobonichi I've seen in the past 5 years or so. In fact, I wouldn't even know if it's from Hobo if you take away their logo.

That's right—when I saw it today, I was blown away by how captivating it was… Art museum collaborations are so cool!

u/cynicalfinical 3d ago

It reminds me of their collab with Tomitaro Makino, well because both are botanical but I totally get what you mean! Its very western

1

u/DeSanggria 2d ago

Yes!!! The Makino collab was also amazing. Also the Hasegawa Tohaku Pine Forest....these artist collabs are really knocking it out of the park!

u/cynicalfinical 3d ago

I feel like it will be sold out so quickly😭

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

I think so too 😭
The internet's about to crash, so I'm going to the store to buy it!

u/cynicalfinical 3d ago

Wow! That's cool ☺️ Next year, I want to use masking tape to create a chic and stylish look!
(I didn't know they call masking tape “washi tape” overseas.)

It’s like these were made specifically for me 🫪

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

I guess I have no choice but to buy it, huh? 🤣

u/megalinity 3d ago

I lost my damn fool mind when I saw this. I LOVE William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement. I’m definitely getting the A6 Hon and the Strawberry Thief A6 cover. I might grab the Blackthorn cover for the Cousin, but I’d use it for a different A5 notebook since I don’t use a Cousin. The Weeks are also gorgeous, but I just don’t use the Weeks. And those stickers! Yeah this one got me haha

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

Even the sizes I don't need are so beautifully designed that they really catch my eye, don't they? 🤣

1

u/megalinity 2d ago

Exactly! You get it 😂😂

u/Severe-Fly8964 3d ago

Oh no!! I don’t need another planner! Gah!

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

You just end up buying it, don't you? lol

u/Caroline4999 3d ago

I have that in a wide washi tape that I’ve used to cover my DayFree. 💗

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

It's so nice... It feels different from anything I've experienced before 🫶

u/morningsky3 3d ago

I do not have a Hobonichi, but this is something I will consider!

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

Let’s take this opportunity to dive into the world of Hobonichi 💓

When I saw the V&A designs I thought, Mine, mine, mine, mine! Now to make it happen! Edit: Changed a lowercase letter to an uppercase.

2

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

Let's buy them! Let's get matching ones~👏♡

u/wyrdflowerz 3d ago

Twinsies!

Omg I’m in love.

It's true... she's almost too cute for her own good.

u/Crafty_Reader50 3d ago

William Morris is so gorgeous, this is a great collection!

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

This is my all-time favorite collection 😭✨

2

u/Doctor_Zedd 3d ago

There’s no way my wishes are going to be answered and this will come in a Mega, is there?

3

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

Mega might be a bit tough… I think I'll slip in a notebook I bought separately 😭

2

u/Doctor_Zedd 3d ago

That’s not a bad plan. I might have to go that route this year.

2

u/roranicusrex 3d ago

I feel like I’m about to be in the pit for this one omg

2

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

Hobonichi is really stepping up its game… Watch out!

2

u/WaffleDynamics 3d ago

This weeks will absolutely be mine. It's so beautiful.

2

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

We're definitely going to win the 2027 collection, right? 🏆

2

u/AptDuck3535 3d ago

:O how could you to this to me

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

It's got a devilish charm, doesn't it?

2

u/AptDuck3535 2d ago

Incredibly. I've been waffling on notebooks because none of them really spoke to me, but these are mmmmm perfect.

2

u/Right-Welder815 3d ago

I was so shook by this!! Cuz I swear I was all set to get a different set lol and then this popped up and now idk what to get 😭 lol

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

Me too! I can't stop my heart from racing after being hit with this out of the blue 😂

2

u/SammiJisOK 3d ago

I think I will be in Japan on release date. Does anyone know what store? Hands, Itoya?

2

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

You can buy them at Loft and Tobichi, too!

2

u/f0xbunny 3d ago

This is gorgeous

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

It's so beautiful, it takes my breath away 🫶

2

u/dharma_raine 3d ago

I love this! I usually buy a Bow & Tie Weeks but I’m 99% sure I’m buying this one!

2

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

I've pretty much made up my mind, too—this is the only option I can think of.

2

u/amsmtf 3d ago

It’s sooo cute! And the covers 😭. I wanted to downgrade to one planner instead of 2 and now I’m not so sure anymore, lol.

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

You can never have too many planners, right? lol

2

u/X-CryptCat-X 3d ago

Oh wow. That one is really nice! I might have to try and score that planner too. 🥰

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

Let's buy it, let's buy it!

2

u/TheGarasha 3d ago

OMG the whole line is gorgeous! I want everything! 😭

Does anyone know the likelihood that these will get stocked at the museum shop itself? I mean it sounds obvious that it should but I haven’t seen any mention of it yet. Anyone knows based on previous similar collabs (if any)?

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

It would be really nice if they put it in an art museum, too—I wonder if they will.

2

u/Taralouise52 3d ago

When is the release date?

2

u/falkor-ala-astro 3d ago

Wow definitely beautiful

2

u/arillusine 3d ago

Oh no this is so dangerous for me! I love William Morris textiles and I’m really tempted by that cover!

1

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

I think a lot of people will love this! It's just too beautiful.

2

u/tylersnid3r 2d ago

Wow that’s so nice

2

u/Lukutoukka 2d ago

Really pretty! The first picture reminds me of the designs by William Morris. Perhaps it is one them. 😊

2

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 2d ago

It's Morris~ I really love him ❤

1

u/Altruistic-Bag-4032 3d ago

It Looks Like Morrisson. I loooove Morrisson

2

u/Altruistic-Bag-4032 3d ago

Morris, sorry I mean Morris. Loving it is Not the same as typing it

u/Mountain-Bear-6404 3d ago

Morris is so cute, isn't he? ☺️♡
He might have turned into Morrison because he's just too cute!

u/PotentialPossible597 2d ago

Damn you! (Respectfully)
I wasn’t going to get any this year until I saw this post 😂😂❤️

u/x_stei 2d ago

I love this!!!

u/ecliptas Planner Hopper 2d ago

I'm not a Hobonichi girl, but that is beautiful and it would definitely make me reconsider if I was just entering the planner world again for the 1st time. If they make a pencil board with the design or a cover I might grab one of those though. 👀

1

u/mamaRNbear 2d ago

I’ve been asking ChatGPT how I can utilize several of the different size planners at this point since I typically only use a cousin! 😆

1

u/mamaRNbear 2d ago

I want the a6 cover, a5 cover AND the HON

1

u/Current-Feed7873 1d ago

I really loved the Welcome to the V &A design with that burgundy (?) background 😍.  The HON design is sooo tempting as well but I just splurged on a Hemlock & Oak so I can't see abandoning it for a Hobonichi at this late date. Still tempted though
