I think it probably happened to many of you, whereby laptops and phones are now more popular to use to take notes, keep track of tasks as well as your schedule instead of writing down in a notebook.
For my personal interest, I still prefer the traditional feeling of writing with ink on paper.
Ever since I started my first job in 12 years ago, every year I will get myself a new notebook or a planner to remind me all the different elements in my life.
I think my bookshelf should have more than 15 notebooks now. :p
One thing I like about writing down on the paper is I feel good to see my handwriting, and also I think it's better to write down the notes and schedules on my planners because handwriting helps me for better recall and boost memory.
Recently, I'm looking for a new notebook because my current one is almost finished, glad that I came across a new brand from Milan Italy, Moleskine in last week.





The Moleskine was created in 1997, bringing back to life the legendary notebooks used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin.
It is an inclusive and premium brand providing tools and services that enable everyday life on the move.
Moleskine inspires mindful travel, fosters ideas, triggers exploration, and also filling our path with thoughts.
The brand was ranked #6 in The Top 200 Lovermarks by Saatchi & Saatchi, holding this pretigious position along with Apple, Google, and Coca-Cola.


Today, Moleskine is not just about a notebook to use on both everyday or an extraordinary journey, but also expanded its product ranges to support creative professional, knowledge workers and students; such as portable devices for productivity on-the go, such as bags, cases, writing & reading accessories as well as digital device covers.
Complementing each other in form and function, they are intrinsically linked to their mobile identities, ultimately becoming an integral part of their personalities.



If you know about Lowepro that I shared in my post last year, Moleskine is actually one of the brand under the same family of Veedoo, a major importer and distributor of premium gadget accessories and protective gears in Malaysia for various leading brands originating from the USA, Italy and Hong Kong.
Veedoo established in 2014 and owned variety of brands, like Acme Made, Lowepro, Joby, ARMOR-X, SBS, Kajsa, Mokka and Moleskine under his one family.



There are many notebooks selection on the shelf.
For example, the Ruled Notenook is one of the best selling Moleskine notebooks which represents a basic yet classic design.
It is reliable as travel companion, perfect for writings, thoughts and passing notes.
It comes with coloured cardboard cover with rounded corners, matching ribbon bookmark, coloured paper (70 g/m²) acid free paper, an elastic closure, and an expandable inner pocket that contains the Moleskine history.
Available in many different colours such as turquoise blue, red, brown, black etc.



The Ruled Notenook also has a larger version which they named it as Plain Notebook.
A very minimal design and colour to present a brand new page of you. :)



Denim Notebook is the latest design from Moleskine.
The new collection reflects and celebrates the shared values of exploration, free-spirited creativity and self-expression.
Comes with hard denim cover with quotes, rounded corners, elastic closure, ribbon bookmark, themed paperband & endpapers, expandable inner pocket in cardboard and cloth, and also ivory-coloured 70 g/m2 acid free paper.



Also, the Nomad Blend Notebook that features a bold camouflage-inspired fabric cover with vivid urban shades.
Definitely add a splash to your daily notes. :)



A little bit of accessories to highlight your notebooks. :)





That simple yet elegant leather smart wallet really caught my attention.
Like how simple the design is, and also the warm colours that represent on the wallets. :)
