Leather Covers for Midori MD Notebooks

Midori MD Notebook Covers in Leather

The MD notebook is plain on purpose: cream paper, a thread-sewn spine that opens flat, and a thin paper jacket. Plenty of people keep the jacket on, and you can. The elastic runs through the middle spread rather than around the outside, so the jacket stays where it is and the leather does the protecting.

MD Sizes and the Covers That Take Them

• Midori MD A6 — 4.1" × 5.8" (10.5 × 14.8 cm): A6 covers, 4.5" × 6.7" (11.4 × 17 cm) closed.
• Midori MD B6 Slim — 4.1" × 6.9" (10.5 × 17.5 cm): B6 Slim covers, 5" × 7.8" (12.8 × 19.9 cm) closed.
• Midori MD A5 — 5.8" × 8.3" (14.8 × 21 cm): A5 covers, 6.3" × 9.1" (16.0 × 23 cm) closed.
• Midori MD "A4" — 8.3" × 10.8" (21 × 27.5 cm), shorter than true A4: A4 covers, with extra room above and below.

The B6 Slim is the one to watch. It is a narrow book, and in a standard B6 cover it slides sideways. Our B6 Slim cover is 7 mm narrower than the B6 and cut for slim notebooks like this one.

Not the Same as a TRAVELER'S notebook

For years the TRAVELER'S notebook was sold under the Midori name, so search results mix the two. TRAVELER'S refills are tall and narrow, 4.3" × 8.3" (11 × 21 cm), and they belong in our TRAVELER'S notebook Regular covers. An MD A5 is too wide for those, and a Regular refill sits loose in an A5 cover.

Paper for the Other Bands

An MD notebook takes one band. Our paper refills come in A6, B6 Slim, A5 and A4, plain, lined or dotted, so a spare can wait on the next one. The A4 refill is true A4, a little taller than Midori's. Thin MD notebooks also leave room for a leather insert, and a bookmark clip holds the page you are on.

Leather and Color

Our covers are full-grain Crazy Horse in six colors: Black Onyx, Chestnut, Forest Green, Bordeaux, Cognac and Caramel. The wax finish takes marks quickly, and most of them rub back out. The MD's cream paper looks warm against Cognac and Caramel and quiet against Black Onyx. A name or initials can go on the front through our personalization options. The leather journal covers page lays out every size we cut.
