Boring Airplane Goodbye THE END OF THE PLAIN PLANE - BRANIFF International


A series of Limited Edition items, available for limited time only.

Midori's TRAVELER'S notebook team pays tribute to Braniff International, a Texas airline of the 60-70, with a limited edition series to customize your notebook.



The series includes some vintage style stickers evolving around the traveling theme - mimicing timetables, bagage tags and boarding passes, as well as special edition Spiral Ring Notebooks.

Midori has ventured from Braniffs Timetable (A5) and Boarding passes (B6) for its covers of the two Spiral Ring notebooks that have the inner of Midori's Spiral Ring Notebook Kangaroo. The Airmail notebook in B6, has envelopes with window as inner sheets.










The Roll Stickers design evolve around the luggage and boarding theme commemorating Braniff's bold campaign.





In addition to the Roll Stickers, these stickers are a collection of Braniff's memorabilia, their logo's, campaign outings and labels.




Braniffs signature logo was pinned on the cabin crews outfit, and soon became a much sought after symbol for young girls of that time. These brass charms are perfect to customize your notebook, or to adorn your key ring.




Two stamps within the Braniff vibe are the last items of the limited series. The blank spaces in the stamp enables to use the stamp to organize.



Braniffs memorabilia is available across Europe from Mid March onwards. Please turn to your Midori vendor.

Midori x Nigel Cabourn ARMY EDITION now available



The ARMY EDITION, an exclusive collaboration between Midori and Nigel Cabourn is now available world wide in selective stores.


Japan’s stationery heavyweight MIDORI teamed up with vintage godfather NIGEL CABOURN to produce a collaboration notebook set with style and ‘camo’. With strong historic roots and an even stronger focus on craftsmanship, MIDORI and NIGEL CABOURN gave this very unique collaboration set an extra dose of lifestyle and vintage extraordinaire. Its passport-size brown leather cover carries a stylish embossed ‘broad arrow’, a graphic icon with its origin in the British military and often present as a visual trademark throughout NIGEL CABOURN’s collections. A further CABOURN touch is the bullet shaped brass pencil holder which received a stunning vintage military matte green coating as well as the vivid green cover of the actual notebook inside.

The camouflaged ‘MIDORI x NIGEL CABOURN’ collaboration notebook set adds to the establishment of MIDORI’s finely crafted notebooks in the lifestyle realm. Moreover, it reinforces NIGEL CABOURN’s affinity with a timeless, analogue way of life as well as tightens his strong bond with Japan, already dating back over 3 decades. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that this fine piece of craftsmanship will be available as a timeless notebook set for timeless memories to be jotted down and kept forever. A true companion to those who see the beauty of life in its journey and not so much in its destination. All elements, from the brass pen holder to the leather exterior, will show off their wear-and-tear beautifully, in sync with life’s precious moments locked up within.

The ARMY EDITION includes a leather notepad, grid paper refill, penholder and matte green pencil.
