About the original
The Moleskine Classic Pocket Notebook is a 3.5" x 5.5" hardcover notebook with 192 ivory acid-free ruled pages, a rounded-corner cardboard cover, an elastic closure, a ribbon bookmark, and an expandable back pocket inside the rear cover. Moleskine was founded in Milan in 1997 by Modo & Modo to revive the unbranded Parisian carnet format used by Bruce Chatwin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Ernest Hemingway, who carried earlier French-made versions into the field. The notebooks are now produced in China and Vietnam under Italian quality control. The Supreme version is the same Pocket hardcover in scarlet red, with a large wraparound Supreme box logo printed on the cover.
About Moleskine
Moleskine is an Italian stationery brand launched in 1997 by Maria Sebregondi at Milanese publisher Modo & Modo, based on the unbranded oilcloth-covered notebooks Bruce Chatwin described buying from a Parisian stationer in The Songlines. The current product is a black hardcover notebook with rounded corners, an elastic closure, an expandable rear pocket, and acid-free ivory paper, manufactured in China and Vietnam. Modo & Modo trademarked the Moleskine name and produced 5,000 notebooks in the first run. The brand was acquired by French private equity firm Syntegra in 2006 and listed on the Milan stock exchange in 2013. Supreme collaborated with Moleskine on a box-logo notebook.
