Brass Limited Edition Factory Green

For Traveler's Company first brass limited edition series they pay hommage to the manufacturing settings in Japan. A lot of factories have machinery and shelving systems made in a particular green color. A color that changes its hue over the years, and picking up scratches and dents along the years. So why was green such a recurring color in manufacturing? This color was used on floors, doors and shelves  because it’s easy on the eye and evokes a sense of safety that provides peace of mind. 

When you visit the  Traveler's Company factory in Nagerayama, you can see the green floor, shelves and doors have faded and even peeled in places, but this, too, is a point of pride—those flaws are the result of decades of use and represent a long history of producing TRAVELER’S notebooks and many other paper products, working diligently day after day.
At the factory where the brass products are made, oil has darkened those green machines during their years of use, but they have a beauty that is difficult to put into words.

The Factory Green limited edition is an hommage to the machinery that build them, and that the color may change its hue over time, with use.

At misc-store we visited both the brass factory in the outskirts on Tokyo and the Nagareyama factory. We can't wait to see our Factory Green writing tool change into the green color we have seen there.

 

TRAVELER’S Company

During ISOT in 2006, the leading stationery show in Japan, Midori developed the idea of TRAVELER’S notebook. Ten years later marks its anniversary and the foundation of TRAVELER’S Company, a new umbrella company next to Midori that holds everything we love and related to TRAVELER’S notebook. The product ranges of BRASS, KRAFT, Spiral Ring Notebook and TRAVELER’S notebook are now part of TRAVELER’S Company.

TN & Misc-store

Misc-store has been fans of TRAVELER’S notebook from the start and as such we feel honored to have sold all the limited editions thusfar. It was love at first sight with the Camel 5th Anniversary TRAVELER’S Notebook, and we applauded the camel passport edition of the STAR Edition, featuring the Hong Kong Star Ferry. We were one of the selected few to carry both ARMY edition’s, in collaboration with vintage king Nigel Cabourn, and we love the BLUE edition and the 10th Anniversary Tin Boxes.

We also have been really fortunate to have hosted the first ever TRAVELER’S Factory Caravan in Europe, a tour of the TRAVELER’S notebook design team traveling to Amsterdam, London and Berlin.
