This year I have decide to change definitely the Diary set that I ever had from long time, I mean the minimal and simple MUJI “agenda” that is nice and very useful… but I was looking for something more “poetic” and exclusive made.

In my last trip to Japan I have seen the Midori Traveller concept at Tokyu Hands Dept. Store but for some reason I have not decide to buy, of course as usual when I’m coming back to home I regret not having done it.
So I was very happy to discover that not far from here, in Netherlands, the Miscellaneous shop stock the complete Midori concept for the traveller’s book.

I have ordered a little bit advanced set that will include few very useful “gadgets” to better use the diary, like a plain note pad, some stickers to attach items on the pages (like the nice envelopes you will see in my pictures below) a transparent envelope with zipper to store receipts and small items and of course 2013 diary.

The cover is made in leather, a really nice tanned vegetable leather that is soft but in the same time “firm”, with a easy and simple system you can set up the elements like books, notepads and diary and built your favorite set.

Miscellaneous also offer  a series of interesting add-on for the set and you’ll enjoy to see the so many options available.

Together with the set I have ordered a nice combo made by Kaweco: a Sport Fountain Pen and Pencil with their pouch.
I have choose to try the fountain pen even if my last usage of those instrument was very very far!
I have to say that the design and the quality of Kaweco set is outstanding, I really appreciate the fact that they manufacture the same model without changing design from 1935 and this is remarkable.

The Miscellaneous shop also send me a gift: a 2012 diary set… Thank You so much!

Everything is arrived very fast and the packaging was really nice, I would really recommend Miscellaneous shop.
