Wrap your favourite diary or planner in cozy Japanese craftsmanship with the MIDORI Knitted Book Band with Pockets — Blue, affectionately nicknamed the "Notebook Belly Warmer" (Haramaki). Designed by Designphil Japan, this clever two-in-one stationery accessory wraps snugly around your notebook cover to keep pages securely closed while serving as a protective, soft-sided organizer pouch for your pens and everyday essentials.
Crafted in Japan using renowned "Gosen Knit" from Gosen City in Niigata Prefecture—a historic textile hub celebrating over 250 years of knitting heritage—the pouch features a rich, textured cable-knit pattern in Denim Blue. This fan-favorite shade was voted #1 in Midori's official community poll at the Stationery Girls' Expo 2025. Woven from a resilient, high-stretch cotton and acrylic blend, the band hugs notebooks ranging from A6 to B6 sizes without losing its shape. A fold-over top flap secures your pens, highlighters, sticky notes, and clips safely inside the front compartment during transit, while an additional rear slip pocket offers instant access to flat items or memos. Even when slipped off your notebook, it doubles effortlessly as a standalone soft pencil case or everyday carry pouch.
