About Moleskine
Prior to being a company, a moleskine was a type of notebook. This was the notebook favored by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Vincent Van Gogh. This notebook style was characterized by rounded corners, a leather cover, some sort of closure, a ribbon to keep one’s page, and usually an expandable pocket on the inside of the rear cover. These were a French product, made in Paris, but with no brand closely associated with them.
Then, in 1997, the Moleskine company was founded in Milan, Italy by Francesco Franceschi, based upon the idea of Maria Sebregondi, who is a co-founder of the company. It was first known as Modo & Modo and soon trademarked the Moleskine brand. The initial run was just 5,000 notebooks and used synthetic leather, unlike the original French moleskines. In 2016, the company was acquired by the Belgian investment firm D’Ieteren and the sought-after brand continues today.
