In the blink of an eye, November has arrived, and so has the cool but cozy winter season. There are less than two months left in the year. In tune with the signs of winter, a polar bear family will be visiting the TRAVELER’S FACTORY again this year. The polar bear comes from the far north to liven up the holiday spirit of travelers. Along with gift items that will make your heart skip a beat, the polar bear family will be appearing at the TRAVELER’S FACTORY again this year to put a smile on the faces of those who get their hands on them.
You may be traveling to a different city to visit family or friends – don’t forget to bring your TRAVELER’S notebook on the journey. Usually, it is when we are taking a special trip that we see things afresh with new perspectives. We hope that this winter is filled with joyous memories and special occasions for you, alongside your TRAVELER’S notebook.

TRAVELER’S FACTORY Holiday Limited Items
Polar bears have been a long-standing motif in TRAVELER’S FACTORY holiday items. This year we see the polar bear design in different iterations and materials like leather and brass. Similar to how we put up decorations during this time of year, we hope the TRAVELER’S FACTORY polar bear will adorn your TRAVELER’S notebook during this festive season!
TF Original Leather Tag Bear
Mounted on a green canvas, two bears, large and small, walk side by side. The bear and its cub came from Chiangmai, Thailand. It is made from the same camel leather used in our TRAVELER’S notebook. These leather tags could be added to gift wrapping, tied around a present, or hung from a tree as a festive ornament. It is sure to bring a smile to your face when you look at it during this season.
Each bear tag will vary in color and texture, similar to how each TRAVELER’S notebook has its unique characteristics. You can use the larger bear to decorate the elastic on your TRAVELER’S notebook and the smaller cub can adorn your TRAVELER’S notebook bookmark.

TF Original Brass Charm Little Bear
Mounted on a background with snow falling down the blue sky is a new addition to this year’s holiday special item – TF Original Brass Charm Little Bear. This young cub is adventuring out on its own, gazing at you with a mischievous look. We hope you will give it a warm welcome by tying it with a ribbon for gift wrapping or attaching it as a charm to your TRAVELER’S notebook.
You can decorate a special present by tying a ribbon through the brass ring of the charm, or attach it as an accessory to your TRAVELER’S notebook. Let this mischievous little bear bring a touch of holiday magic to your season of joy and celebration.

TF Original Brass Badge Bear
The newest addition to the TRAVELER’S FACTORY Holiday collection is the TF Original Brass Badge. Artisans at a press factory in Tokyo use various presses to add the recognizable features and faces of the polar bear.
There is a pin closure on the back of the badge so you can attach it to your clothes or bag like a brooch. Over time, the color of the badge will change due to its brass material. We hope you will enjoy accessorizing your outfits or bag with this festive polar bear badge.

Holiday Gift Guide for Travelers
This holiday season, enhance your travel experience with our recommended selection of analog tools from TRAVELER’S FACTORY. Whether you’re taking your TRAVELER’S notebook on a trip or enjoying a cozy winter afternoon indoors, we hope these tools bring you comfort and joy during this festive season.
TRAVELER’S FACTORY TO&FRO Boston Bag
This summer, we introduced TO&FRO’s Boston Bag for a short trip. You can use it for your trips this winter to visit friends or family. The TF TO&FRO Boston Bag is made of KITE, a strong, lightweight, water-repellent fabric that is 100% polyester but has a natural texture. The fabric is dyed in TRAVELER’S COMPANY original colors.
It has four exterior pockets and three interior pockets for easy storage and can be threaded through the handle of a carry-on case. At the base of the handle is a brass ring through which a key ring or other accessory can be attached.
The bag has a 37.5-liter capacity for two or three nights of luggage. The bag can be folded compactly when stored in the inner pocket printed with the TRAVELER’S COMPANY logo, so it is recommended to carry it in your suitcase as a supplementary bag on your travels. The Boston Bags can be carried 2-way: as a tote bag by slinging the handles over your arm or shoulder, or as a shoulder bag using the detachable shoulder strap.
Enjoy 10 Minutes AROMA with hibi
This holiday season, we want to recommend a comforting tool and a great companion for when you sit down and enjoy a moment with your notebook. Hibi is a collaboration of incense from Awaji Island and matches from Harima, it’s an incense that can be used easily without an igniter. The palm-sized packages resemble a matchbox. It can be easily slipped into a bag or pouch to use at the office or in a hotel on a trip. Not just for travel, you can also use it as a refreshing ritual in the morning in the kitchen, while the family enjoys some downtime in the living room or a relaxing moment as a bedtime routine.
The collaboration version of “hibi” uses a reissue of the once-used matchbox shape known as the palace mold and was designed by TRAVELER’S COMPANY under the theme of “FOR TRAVEL”. Three fragrances were selected from the standard “hibi” lineup: “Tea Tree”, which has a cool and refreshing scent that soothes the mind; “Geranium,” which has a subtle sweetness similar to rose mixed with green notes; and “Hinoki,” which envelops the mind with a nostalgic feeling. The “Tea Tree” is packaged in the image of TRAVELER’S HOTEL, the “Geranium” is packaged in the image of TRAVELER’S CAFE, and the “Hinoki” is packaged in the image of a trip to Japan.
hibi 10MINUTES AROMA – $14

Another recommended tool this season is P.F. Candle Co., 100% domestically grown soy wax candles from sunny California. P.F. Candles Co. believes that fragrance is an extension of home design, directly impacting your mood and the way you feel. Their signature 7.2 oz Standard Candles are hand-poured into apothecary-inspired amber jars with kraft labels and a brass lid.

Toyo Steel makes high-quality metal toolboxes using a single sheet of steel, a style they pioneered from its experienced factory in Osaka, Japan. The T-190 Trunk-shaped toolbox without handles can hold small items like the BRASS clip, pencils, palettes, pens, and other small accessories. Because the toolbox is made of steel, you can even further customize your toolbox with decorative magnets. This season, we recommend elegant colors such as Antique Brown and Antique Green to complement your desk.
