A very chatty Traveler's Factory Haul! ✨ Tokyo + Kyoto flagship stores ✨

[@WitNWhimsyWrites]

I use the Kyoto edition TN as my daily carry for 2023 as I got it for myself for Christmas in 2022! The blue comes out more as you use it and it does scratch as all TNs do, but it doesn't wear super easily 😊 I find the blue TN covers don't scratch as easily as the camel. Thanks for sharing your haul! I hope my comment may encourage you to use the Kyoto edition from day to day. If you're worried, you can put it in your train cotton pouch! Sometimes, I put mine in the cotton pouch, but most of the time I just chuck it in my bag and go. It brings me so much joy to see it everyday as I'm using it, and I think you'll enjoy the cover more as you use it! Also, the rose foiling is tougher than it looks! I was worried about it wearing off too easily but as of September 2023 from daily use since December 2022 my foiling has hardly any wear. Don't be afraid to enjoy it!

omg thank you so much for this thoughtful comment!!🥹🥹 I have the airline limited edition line which I was so precious about as well but I've been using it and I'm finding that I'm really enjoying the scratches, like it's lived in! I'm going back to Japan again next year so I'll bring my Kyoto edition out then!

I just did the same thing last week! The Kyoto store is amazing. I got the Kyoto edition standard size and the Kyoto band charm. Stamped all my refills too, hehe. Also got a coin purse since there's so much cash to deal with in Japan! Hope you had a great trip.

[@MeziahRuby]

It was a lovely trip, thank you!! I’m so happy to hear that stamping everything is a universal experience haha. I felt kinda bad taking forever at the stamp station when some people only did two and left 😅 I was so, so tempted by the coin purse too but decided to get the crossbody bag instead. I’ve been loving it! 😊

That's some cool stationary stuff!

[@MeziahRuby]

Thank you! The store itself was super cool too and I did take some video so maybe I'll make that video one day :)

I did a similar thing. Went way overboard the first time I ordered Hobonichi. I would definitely do the same in the Traveler’s Fsctory.

[@MeziahRuby]

I'm about to do the overboard thing with Hobonichi for the 2024 lineup year.😅 I thought this year was my overboard year with Hobonichi because I have an Original, Cousin Avec, AND two Weeks, but these were collected over the course of months. Next year, it's gonna be Hobonichi covers galore!!

@@MeziahRuby have fun! I’m going to try to only get what I know I’ll use for a change. Hehe. Definitely a Hon. probably A5 English and the falling star week. There is one cover I especially liked. Twinkle something I think. It’s only 4 days away/. I’m getting excited.

[@MeziahRuby]

@@dianagable6640 I'm going to try my hardest to only getting what I will definitely use. Thinking of the ONE PIECE collab Hon for night journaling, Planner for day planning, and a Weeks for habit tracking. Gotta narrow down my cover choices aka the hardest part!

[@dianagable6640]

I might just wait until October for the One Piece Hon also. If I do that I will be too excited to limit myself though. By then I will watch so many unboxings I'll want it all. Hehe.

[@MeziahRuby]

I did end up buying the ONE PIECE Hon! Also bought the ONE PIECE Weeks and the A6 Sunny-Go cover! SUUUPER in love with them!!

[@PlanitSarah]

Beautiful haul! I noticed the insert to your beautiful special edition notebook said the leather was blue but you said it was black. I think it’s blue but just looks black, right? 🤍

[@MeziahRuby]

Thank you! You're totally right - it's blue and I just said black 😅 It's a nice deep blue that *can* look black in some lighting but it's definitely blue.

[@minhs-mind]

[@MeziahRuby]

[@eprohoda]
