Moleskine is an iconic Italian brand, inspired by the notebooks used by Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, and Hemingway. Of course, there is more to the brand than Moleskine notebooks. The range we sell at Hobby Land also includes diaries, sketchbooks, journals, backpacks, bags, pens, drawing pencils and more. One thing links all of these Moleskine products: quality.
We receive a lot of enquiries at Hobby Land about Moleskine with one question being common: Is Moleskine worth it? While you pay a little more for this world-famous brand, you do get superb value for money, especially if you want your writings or artwork to live on for years. If you care about what you put on the page, Moleskine is for you.
Much of Moleskine’s appeal is down to its ivory-coloured and acid-free paper. This type of paper is valued by people who want their art or documents to have a longer life without the page becoming yellow or breaking down. Acid-free paper is also commonly used in the long term archival storage of art, documents and textiles. On the other hand, the acidic paper used by cheaper brands will turn yellow and brittle and will break down relatively quickly. Acidic paper can also introduce acid to the items stored with it, like photographs, art, and certificates, and damage them as a result. This threat is eliminated when you use Moleskine products.
The acid-free paper is just one example of why Moleskine is a superior choice. Every item in our Moleskine range is made to exacting standards, taking it out of the realm of cheap stationery and making it the brand of choice for our discerning customers. Here are some other reasons why they always choose Moleskine.
- Durability: Moleskine books are bound like real books so pages remain intact, and with their semi-hard, vinyl covers, they’re far more durable than anything spiral-bound. Devoted diary keepers who want to look back on their thoughts from many years ago appreciate these special, long-lived qualities.
- Paper quality: The 70gsm paper in Moleskine books absorb inks and markers without bleeding, and the pages tolerate aggressive erasing. As a bonus, the paper is FSC certified, which means it has been harvested in a responsible and sustainable manner.
- A legendary look: The ivory-coloured paper and distinctive rounded corners give Moleskine’s range of notebooks, diaries and journals unrivalled aesthetic appeal.
- A feeling of luxury: The luxury Italian leather used in Moleskine’s Limited Notebook range has a sublime feel and appearance, making them highly sought after by our customers who appreciate the finer things in life.
So, yes. Moleskine is worth it! Everything in our range is something we’d highly recommend to you. No matter what you’re after, supreme quality is incorporated into every Moleskine product and as far as we’re concerned, that is priceless.
