I think these planners are going to hold up just fine but the covers will show wear by year end but I don’t think that’s an issue. It’s just aesthetics for me. But also I’m using a clear cover as I do with all my planners and that keeps them safer and also adds some structure. Catherine is already planning improvements for 2024 and is already testing thicker cover options. And she’s also launching undated planners soon with the thicker covers. So that’s wonderful. She’s immediately taken feedback on so much - the covers, the gilding and the lightness of the print which is wonderful.
yeah i agree.. i think the books will hold. the covers will wear super quick. the leatherette layer has already started to peel in the corner away from the cardstock base so i immediately stuck it in a plastic cover and that should protect it. I really love the book though and it will only get better with time
Brilliant idea for the forward planning spread! Thanks for your multiple videos. I appreciate your additional comments and how you're planning to use. Cheers!
I personally don’t think the covers are a huge issue as is - they may get a little less perfect by year end but I’ve had other planners with softer covers and they’ve been fine. But that said she’s already testing thicker covers and is releasing undated planners soon with a thicker cover option. And is making improvements for 2024 already too. She’s on the ball
I have the same planners! Except I am going with the full year Sterling Ink, in mauve as well. I love the idea of the Hobinichi Weeks, and I am just getting started. I do minimal stickers and washi, more neutral and and birds and some florals... but I really want to get to One. Simplify, simplify... Thanks!

That cover is the most gorgeous brown ever!!
I ordered the Common Place planner, out of curiosity. I have chosen to not use it. I am a true Hobonichi girl! Lesson learned! Enjoy yours!

I totally agree regarding the cover. I hope if this planner is created for 2024 that the cover material is as thick as the Hobonichi Cousin.

Your videos are very helpful. Where did you source the month index tabs that you use?
You can get them from anywhere that sells travelers company inserts - it’s the yearly sticker pack. But they run out early in the year
Would love to know what the pen you have there is!
