About Us
Simply Moleskine was set up to spread the word and our passion about these little notebooks with their fantastic history and quality manufacture.
Moleskine Notebooks are oilcloth-covered notebooks, manufactured in Italy, based on a design by a small stationer in Tours, France. The standard Moleskine Notebook measures 9 x 14cm and features the following: lightweight, acid-free paper, a foldable pocket in the back cover, a cloth ribbon attached to the spine to serve as a bookmark, and a woven elastic band attached to the back to keep the book closed when not in use. The name (officially pronounced mol-a- skeen -a, although it can vary) comes from the French spelling of 'moleskin', which the oilcloth covering resembles, and is a trademark of Modo and Modo fom Italy.
This small, pocket-sized notebook has picked up a remarkable following among professional and aspiring writers, artists, designers and diarists. This is in part due to a marketing campaign by Modo and Modo to claim that the moleskine's design was used by many famous writers and artists of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Such a pedigree might not be enough, for the casual consumer, to justify the notebook's premium retail price. Contemporary fans of the Moleskine, however, also cite its slim size and design features as useful for writing 'on the go', especially for travel purposes.
