The twentieth-anniversary TRAVELER’S notebook comes in a Card Size edition. Refills and pockets let its owner arrange it as a notepad, a small wallet, or a combination of the two.

Carrying a notebook and a wallet can quickly fill a pocket. Loose sheets slipped into a wallet are not always easy to write on, either. For its twentieth anniversary, TRAVELER'S notebook has introduced a Card Size edition that combines refills and pockets in a small leather cover. Depending on its contents, it can serve as a notepad, a small wallet, or both.
Released on April 23, 2026, the anniversary set has a leather cover measuring 110 millimeters high by 75 millimeters wide, excluding its fastening. Card Size is the format's name, not a claim that the cover is exactly the size of a card. Notebooks fit inside, and the included elastic bands can connect several together. Filled refills can be replaced.
The accessories add to the small format's possibilities. A thin cotton zipper case includes pockets for cards or business cards and a zipped section for coins or keys. A paper folder holds folded banknotes, shop cards, or tickets. The same cover takes on different uses depending on the balance of notebooks, cash, and cards inside.
The original TRAVELER'S notebook also lets its owner assemble the contents. In an official interview published in September, brand director Atsuhiko Iijima recalled wanting to make a notebook that gains value with use. Scratches in the leather can become reminders of travel. He was describing personal associations accumulated over time, rather than a rise in resale prices.
The smaller format leaves less room for long passages or large drawings. It suits brief notes, such as the name of a shop heard about along the way or the address of the next stop, more readily than an extended travel journal. The limited-quantity set is listed at 8,800 yen in Japan; Korean retail prices and individual store availability are separate matters.
The leather cover can stay in use while filled notebooks are removed and stored elsewhere. Adding a card pocket brings it closer to a wallet; adding notebooks makes more room for notes. The owner chooses more than a cover color, rearranging everyday essentials within a cover that fits in the palm of a hand.
