Part of the Paper Series, the Black Gingham HON A5 features a refined cover made with specialty paper from the renowned Japanese paper company Takeo. What appears at first to be a simple black planner reveals a subtle plaid texture when it catches the light—an elegant detail created using Takeo’s embossed “Gingham GA” paper. The result is a minimalist design that feels both understated and quietly distinctive.
