Catalogue Fall - 2009 RaincoastFall2009.indd 1 18/03/2009 9.52.46 — The history 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 mid-1980s, 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 favourite notebook, which he nicknamed “moleskine”. In 1986, the original manufacturer - a family operating in Tours - closed down forever: “Le vrai moleskine n’est plus” are the lapidary words Chatwin puts into the mouth of the owner of the stationery shop in Rue de l’Ancienne Comédie – also a legendary spot - where he stocked up on the notebooks. The English writer-traveller bought up all the notebooks that he could fi nd before he left for Australia, but they were not enough. — 2 RaincoastFall2009.indd 2 18/03/2009 9.53.03 — The history 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, the 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. moleskine-buecher.de moleskine.com raincoast.com moleskine.co.jp amazon.com/moleskine moleskinerie.com moleskine.ch moleskinerie.tumblr.com moleskineart.com moleskine.co.kr moleskine.hu moleskine.pt moleskineasia.com MOLESKINE TODAY Today, Moleskine is synonymous with culture, travel, memory, imagination, and personal identity, both in real life and in the digital world.
