A classic leather Taschenbegleiter, featuring a black leather exterior, “ice blue” felt interior, and a bright blue elastic. This one contains three pockets on the interior of the front cover, and a single large slot on the inside back cover for holding papers or a notepad.

• Currently available in A5 size. This thick vegetable-tanned cow leather is dyed chrome-free with renewable raw materials. It is sturdy, approximately 1.5 mm thick, and manufactured in southern Germany in compliance with maximum environmental standards.

• The stainless steel clips can be open and closed with a fingertip. The clips may be used to hold notebooks from most manufacturers who use standard sizing, and may also be used to hold loose papers, receipts, calendars, and magazines, or as a bookmark. The clips are manufactured in Bavaria, Germany.

• Roterfaden uses 2mm thick, durable pure wool felt made from merino wool. Felt made from pure sheep's wool is a high-quality material that has stood the test of time for thousands of years and will not lint or stain at the edges of a Taschenbegleiter, even after many years of use. Pure wool with its natural wool fat has a self-cleaning effect, similar to silk.

• The elastic closure and pen loop feature high-quality and durable elastic bands. Should the elastic lose its stretch (which typically only happens after many years of heavy use), it can be replaced directly by Roterfaden at cost.

Made in Germany. The Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter does not ship with any refills, which must be purchased separately.
