Culture, imagination, memory, travel, personal identity
Moleskine
® was created as a brand in 1997, bringing back to life the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A trusted and handy travel companion,
the nameless black notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.
Today, Moleskine notebooks are trusted companions to the creative professions and the imagination of our own times: they have become a symbol of latter-day nomadism, and they are intimately tied to the digital world through a network of websites, blogs, online groups, and virtual archives.
Since 1 January 2007, Moleskine has also become the name of the company that owns the worldwide trademark rights for the brand. Moleskine srl creates, produces, and distributes the wellknown notebooks and their various offshoots. The company grew out of the experience of Modo&Modo, a small Milanese publisher that in 1997 created the Moleskine® trademark, rediscovering and renewing an extraordinary tradition. In the fall of 2006, Modo&Modo was purchased by SGCapital Europe, with the objective of fully developing the potential of the Moleskine brand.
Moleskine srl is a small and creative company enjoying continuing growth. It now has about fifty employees and a vast network of partners and consultants. Its home office is in Milan, Italy. Its American affiliate is Moleskine America, Inc, with offices in New York, established in early 2008.
