TRAVELER'S notebook was created in March, 2006, and is now loved by writers throughout the world in over 30 countries and regions. Last year, through exhibition at MAISON&OBJET (France), events in South Korea and Spain as well as TRAVELER'S FACTORY™, we were able to share TRAVELER'S notebook with a variety of customers and listen to everyone’s ideas. We also came up with new ideas about what kinds of items would make use more enjoyable by looking at pictures of our customer’s notebooks that they posted to social media. From the opinions we heard and usage we saw, we decided to add the new Refills and Brass Clips to the lineup. A total of 9 refills will be released, 5 regular sizes and 4 passport sizes. “MD PAPER Cream” is our original paper designed for quality writing which utilizes MD PAPER Cream that won’t smudge or bleed-through, even when writing with a fountain pen. We added the refill to our regular lineup after users told us they wanted to use this paper in their previous journal or notebooks. “Dot Grid” was added for the kind of customers who have been increasing in recent years who want to create their own boxes inside their notebook, make a journal in an original style or keep track of tasks. There are a myriad of enjoyable ways to make use of the dots, from making comic book panels or a layout like a magazine, to using them to keep track of spacing like traditional Japanese writing paper. “Watercolor Paper” notebook refill is perfect for watercolors because it is water-resistant. Besides watercolor paper that is a little thicker and more textured than “Sketch Paper” is also perfect for pencil and pen sketches or collages of photos and tickets. The pages are perforated so they can be easily removed. Cards can be stored in every page of “Card File”. There are 60 spaces to store business cards from associates shop business cards or even “instax mini” photos. “Three-fold File” stores A4 sizes folded in three. It’s made to neatly fold and store A4 size papers and take them with you. Use it for anything you need to take with you, from ticket printouts and hotel vouchers to schedules and map copies, whether traveling or just every day at the office. The file is made in regular size only. “Passport Size Refill Binder” is for holding TRAVELER’S notebook Passport Size. Use it to store up to five volumes of Passport Size Refills you have already filled. We are also releasing “TRAVELER'S notebook Brass Clip”, which can be used to keep your TRAVELER'S notebook open. Made in a factory in the old downtown area of Tokyo, this clip’s materials, size, design and spring strength are especially created for use with TRAVELER'S notebook. When taking your TRAVELER'S notebook on the go, attach it to the leather cover or the end of a refill so it’s ready to use when you want to write or take a picture of your work. There’s also a hole in the back that you can use to hang it on a wall and use your notebook for decoration. We made two styles, the TRC Logo Pattern designed after TRAVELER'S notebook logo, and the Airplane Pattern, with a TRAVELER'S Air motif. Once you get your hands on items from our new TRAVELER'S notebook lineup, there will be even more ways to enjoy your notebook! *All prices listed are recommended retail prices
