THE LEGENDARY NOTEBOOK
Moleskine® is the heir of the legendary notebook used for the past two centuries by artists and thinkers, from Vincent Van Gogh to Pablo Picasso from Ernest Hemingway to Bruce Chatwin.
The anonymous and essential little black notebook, with its unique rounded corners, elastic closure, and expandable inner pocket, was originally produced for more than a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied Parisian stationery shops frequented by the international literary and artistic avant garde. This trusty, pocket-sized travel companion held their sketches, notes, stories, and ideas before they became famous images or beloved books.
CHATWIN’S TALE
In the midâÂÂ1980s, the little black notebook suddenly wasn’t to be found anywhere.
In his book The Songlines, Bruce Chatwin tells us the whole story of his favorite notebook, which he nicknamed “moleskine”. In 1986, the original manufacturer, a family operating in Tours, closed down forever. The English writerâÂÂtraveller bought up all the notebooks that he could find before he left for Australia, but they were not enough.
THE MOLESKINE® NOTEBOOK
In 1997, a small Milanese publisher brought the legendary notebook back to life, choosing for it this literary name, thus restoring an extraordinary tradition. Following Chatwin’s footsteps, Moleskine® notebook begins its journey once again, this time as an indispensable complement to today’s mobile technology. Capturing reality on the move, preserving details, impressing the unique aspects of experience upon paper, Moleskine is an accumulator of ideas and emotions
which are then released over time.
