Enwrapped in a distinguished shade of black, the impeccable oilskin cover protects against the damaging elements. Writing is a breeze outdoors—sturdy and tough, the water-resistant cover doubles up as a portable desk. Its round edges resist well-worn dog ears and ease a smooth transfer to and from pockets.

It looks heavy, but the only weight it carries is the vast imagination, introspective ideas and evocative memories of its owner. A pocket made of high quality cardboard and oilcloth holds tickets, notes and clippings. Reinforced at cross areas, the strong and durable pockets opens at approximately 20° for easy access. Yet, the opening of the pocket faces inwards to safeguard loose papers.

Thread-bound like a book lends it muscle to flex open the notebook totally flat, which proves very useful for scanning.

A modern look exudes an understated style evokes a mood that is always encouraging for the creative process—this actually stems from its faith to a 200-year-old design ethos. The classic mauve bookmark and the buttermilk color of the acid-free paper make writing an eye-pleasing experience. Enclosing the notebook is an elastic band dedicated to avert wrinkled pages or detachments.

A single name is embossed at the back: Moleskine. The notebook born to live in your pocket.
