It’s a Moleskine Notebook World
Welcome to the Moleskine Notebook Guide (pronounced mol-a-skeen’-a) where we showcase the creativity and utility inspired by these wonderful black (and sometimes red) notebooks and journals and the silky smooth writing pages they contain. Reminiscent of an earlier time when life was simpler, slower and more traditional, Moleskine notebooks give you a feeling of connection with the legendary artists, writers, intellectuals and travelers who have made use of these journals for two centuries.
Famous Moleskine users range from gifted artists Henri Matisse (1869–1954), Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) and Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), to poet and leader of the surrealist movement André Breton (1896-1966) to Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) considered the most influential writer of the last century, to famous travel writer Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989).
Moleskines feature a bound, rigid cover made of oilcloth, an extremely durable thread bound binding and silky smooth acid-free paper pages that are a pleasure to stroke a pen across. An elastic closure conveniently holds the journal cover closed while a woven ribbon bookmark keeps your place. For those loose pieces of paper (money, tickets, notes etc.) each book features an accordion pocket in the back made of oilcloth and cardboard.
Available in a wide selection of sizes, paper styles and purposes there’s a unique Moleskine notebook for everyone. You can find journals designed specifically for jotting notes and planning your day or storing a network of contacts. If you’re traveling there are diaries covering several major cities and as well as sketch books for drawing or painting your memories. If music and theater are your bag you’ll find notebooks for writing a symphony or story boarding a movie or play. Have a different need than those listed above? Don’t worry, Moleskines can be easily customized to meet individualized needs. The only limits on a Moleskine notebook are those of your imagination.
Pick up a book of your own and give it a try. It won’t be long before you reach the same conclusion as the famous Moleskine users:
“Losing my passport was the least of my worries, losing a notebook was a catastrophe” - Bruce Chatwin
