Roterfaden Short Visit
"I like that the Taschenbegleiter is a companion for a very long time. To have sketchbooks, calendars, and all my little trinkets in one definitively helps me holding my life together."
"For making sketches or outlining an idea, I end up collecting loose sheets. I love the clip system for that. The modular system is much better. It's been over nine years. I don't have a need to get another one or a new one. It's still great and still in top condition. It keeps getting cooler and cooler due to the natural leather."
"I've been a client since the start. They're unbreakable. The only reason I had to get a new one was that the old one was stolen out of my car. The advantage for me is having everything together in one place. Or at least many things: my calendar, documents, booklets. Everything for daily life. Life as a musician is fragmented. No day is like the other. Taschenbegleiter helps me be organized and reliability is key. It's easy to take care of things and I can focus on my work."
