Hobonichi - Tolight: Garden of Botany | A5 Cousin Cover

With the concept of “Freedom, like drawing a picture,” Tolight releases new collections each season featuring the designer’s own drawings as a focal point. This cousin cover was made in collaboration with Tolight.

Contrasting the dark, soft plaid fabric, the printed flowers are bold and eye-catching, and look like they have been directly drawn onto the background. The cover is overflowing with the vitality inherent to plants. Although this is a flower print, it is far from being too sweet, and the sophisticated tone of the design makes this a perfect match for anyone regardless of gender or age.
