Over the years, TRAVELER'S COMPANY has released special editions of the TRAVELER'S notebook: limited series covers and refills built around a theme, often related to travel. These are pieces that enthusiasts watch for and regret missing. Here’s how they work and a look back at the most notable ones.

Why special editions
The TRAVELER'S notebook is as much a collector’s item as it is a notebook. Limited editions allow the brand to explore new leather colors, unique refills, and matching accessories for the duration of a series. They also maintain the connection with the community, which eagerly awaits each new release. Once sold out, these editions generally do not return, making them sought-after pieces on the secondhand market.
How the editions work
An edition usually includes a leather cover in a particular shade, a set of refills matching the theme, and some accessories, such as a screen-printed cotton bag, stickers, or brass charms. The spirit remains the same as the classic notebook: leather that ages beautifully and a refill system, but in a unique set that won’t be seen again once the series ends.
The 20th anniversary edition, card size
For its twentieth anniversary in 2026, TRAVELER'S COMPANY celebrates the notebook with a card-sized anniversary edition, even more compact than the Passport. It’s an opportunity to mark two decades of an iconic object, true to its philosophy: making every day a journey. We discuss it in detail in our card size guide.
Some notable editions
The brand has produced many memorable series over the years. In 2016, the Pan Am collection paid tribute to the famous American airline, with refills and stickers in vintage colors. That same year, miniature sets celebrated the notebook’s tenth anniversary. In 2020, the Travel Tools collection was inspired by items taken on trips. In 2021, the B Sides and Rarities collection marked fifteen years by bringing together unusual products, some of whose papers have since become part of the permanent range. In 2022, a series even reimagined TRAVELER'S COMPANY as a hotel, airline, music label, and railway company. All of these pieces are now highly sought after.
Why they sell out quickly
Produced in limited quantities and never reissued, special editions often sell out quickly, especially the leather covers. Collectors follow them closely, and some old series reach high resale prices. To avoid missing out, it's best to watch the brand's announcements and decide quickly when you like an edition.
Editions as collectible items
Beyond the pleasure of use, special editions foster a true collecting culture. Some users keep their covers under glass, others use them to better age them. On forums and social networks, people trade, resell, and look for the missing piece of an old series. This is also what makes the TRAVELER'S COMPANY universe rich: a daily notebook that becomes, for some, a lasting passion.
How to follow releases
Since the editions are limited, it's best to be warned in time. The easiest way is to follow TRAVELER'S COMPANY news and watch for restocks, as the leather covers of special series usually sell out first. When you really like an edition, don't wait: unlike classic models, it probably won't come back in stock once sold out.
