To celebrate the 5th year existence of the passport size TRAVELER'S notebook, Midori teamed up with Hong Kong based STAR ferry company and launches its STAR EDITION limited edition.

The range's gem is the camel color leather cover with an emerald elastic band, the same as the limited edition for the regular size TRAVELER'S notebook two years back. The range further includes a BRASS pen, BRASS clips, stamps, masking tapes and other accessories to customize your TRAVELER'S notebook.

CHAD @THE MODEFABRIEK, AMSTERDAM

Yesterday I spent a few hours @ The Modefabriek, I started with a nice cup of coffee served by Deco. Found a some nice 5 pockets by Atelier Noterman a Belgium brand with it's roots way back in the 40s of the last century. Goodies from New Balance form the Us, Uk and Far East collection. Sebago not just for the boat but also for the street as from ss 2013 in a beautiful Horween leather quality. Mason's showed their "Backlight" collection of painted shorts, jackets and T-shirts, but also a great scala of colors in pants and shirts. My favorite area was Blueprint with labels like Lee & Lee 101, Filson, Blue Blood, Nudie, Wolverine, Brass Midori, Dickies etc etc. 

TAKE A NOTE

Wow, today I received a great Christmas present. I was aware of the notebooks from Moleskine and Fieldnotes,but I never heard about this beauty. It's a Traveler's Notebook by Midori. The leather covers are made by hand. Roughly cut leather and a rubber band with the clasp made of tin. The inside notebook is made in Japan and has Midori's original paper made to pursue the highest comfortability to write. Thanks to the people from Prima Image Consultants my desk will soon look like the picture above.
