The sight of leaves turning red on the trees and the occasional chilling breeze on your skin is a sign that we’re in November, with less than two months left in the year. This is the time of the year that the polar bear and its cub are visiting TRAVELER’S FACTORY again, bringing with them warm invitations to enjoy the TRAVELER’S SPIRIT and settle in for a comfortable winter. Alongside heart-warming gift items, the bears arrive to bring smiles to those who hold them.
Perhaps you’re winding down from multiple trips this year and are looking to settle comfortably at home for the season. Maybe you are gearing up to visit somewhere new with your family or loved ones, excited to see new sights and fun experiences. Don’t forget to bring along your TRAVELER’S notebook to enjoy the holiday spirit. We hope this winter is filled with joyous memories and special occasions – do document these precious moments in your TRAVELER’S notebook.
As always, we’re here to share a recommendation of holiday gifts for your loved ones who embody the TRAVELER’S SPIRIT. We would like to share our interpretation of the holiday nostalgia by recommending some unique TRAVELER’S FACTORY (TF for short) original items as well.
Special Holiday Sticker
This special polar bear is here to help with your gift wrap presents this year. Surrounded by a lush wreath and wearing a red hat, it is ready to start the season with some festivity! You can use the sticker to secure a ribbon, attach a gift tag, or simply decorate the covers of your TRAVELER’S notebook refills!

TRAVELER’S FACTORY Holiday Limited Items
TRAVELER’S FACTORY polar bears would like to join in celebrating the holidays with you! They are here to bring the holiday cheer through various materials such as leather and brass that can adorn your TRAVELER’S notebook or add to festive decorations.
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, and are made with the same leather used in our TRAVELER’S notebook. 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. These leather tags could also 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.
TF Original Leather Tag Bear – $12
TF Original Brass Charm Little Bear
The young cub, as a brass charm, is mounted on a background with snow falling down the blue sky, peeking 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.
TF Original Brass Charm Little Bear – $18
TF Original Brass Badge Bear
The Brass Badge bear is an elegant brooch accessory for your holiday sweater or favorite canvas bag. Artisans at a press factory in Tokyo use various presses to add the recognizable features and faces of the polar bear to the brass badge.
The solid brass material ensures that it develops a rich patina over time with use.

THROUGH THE LENS with TRAVELER’S FACTORY Original Items
This holiday season, the TRAVELER’S COMPANY USA team wants to recommend a few unique TRAVELER’S FACTORY Original Items that you can add to your daily routine. Since we always love a fresh perspective, we decided to capture some of these items through a color negative film. With strong saturation, medium to high contrast, and some grain, we think the warm tone of these film images perfectly captures the holiday nostalgia to further inspire you this winter. Please enjoy browsing through this selection of TF Original goods, captured through the lens of a camera using Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

TF Original Leather Zipper Case
TRAVELER’S FACTORY original Leather Zipper Cases for TRAVELER’S notebooks are made with Japanese domestic tanned leather, utilizing a special tanning oil called “Oil Nume” that originated from Himeji (known for their superior leather tanneries), and sewn together with utmost care.
The case is designed for a seamless fit in your TRAVELER’S notebook. Immaculate Japanese craftsmanship ensured the leather was adjusted to be thin and light enough not to bulk up your notebook, yet stylish and durable. Just like the TRAVELER’S notebook, the leather will evolve with use and accompany your journey for a long time.
The Regular Size Leather Zipper Case includes one zipper pouch, and the other side is a card case with six pockets. The Passport Size contains one zipper pouch and a card case with two pockets. The zipper closure allows you to use this case as a wallet or a case for holding accessories you want to bring on your trip. The leather material is characterized by its moist and supple texture—the more you use it, the more it ages over time. The Leather Zipper Cases go perfectly with your TRAVELER’S notebook and will age with character over time with gradual use.
TF Original Leather Zipper Cases are available in blue, brown, and black, in both Regular and Passport Size.

TF Original Canvas Shoulder Bag S Size
The TRAVELER’S FACTORY Original Canvas Shoulder Bag is designed for travel, short trips, or everyday use. Made with durable canvas material from Chiang Mai, Thailand, the belt strap is also made using the same leather as TRAVELER’S notebooks.
The S-size shoulder bag comfortably fits a TRAVELER’S notebook in Regular Size, a paperback book, or your frequently used accessories. The bag can be secured with a button flap across the opening, and it also includes a small back pocket for a Passport Size notebook or your phone for quick access.
You can easily adjust the length of the shoulder bag belt strap, so it hangs comfortably alongside your body. Wear the straps short when you are riding a bicycle and lengthen them to fit when you have a long coat on. Because the strap is also made with the leather used in TRAVELER’S notebook, the material becomes softer and suppler the longer it is used. Enjoy the aging characteristics of your canvas bag as you take it on many adventures.
The TF Canvas Shoulder Bags are available in four colors: black, olive, beige, and blue
