I recently read that the whole marketing story about Picasso and other famous artists using it is fake. It goes back to a passage in Bruce Chatwin's "Songlines" nicknaming his notebook moleskine and mentioning a french manufacturer in Tours. The recent italian producer tried to connect to this mentioned manufacurers tradition in 1998 but could never find any evidence of the original producer ... Conclusion: Customers want their products to come with stories... these are certainly well crafted notebooks.

I'll ask around. You’re right; I see no indication on their website about their policy either. I’ll ask around.

The manufacteur as well gives no indication if they are or indeed if the paper has been sourced from sustainable sources.

I use it with a small black space pen that collapses down to the width of the moleskin (and hence sits nicely at the top of the book secured by the ribbon and the elastic band) Also love moleskins… started in 2005 and now have quite a few.. one for magic.. one for a diary to help me with my do it tomorrow time management system, one for psychological thoughts and notes (again magic related) one for the house (stuff to do things to fix) and a few others that contain odd notes and thoughts.. I use it with a small black space pen that collapses down to the width of the moleskin (and hence sits nicely at the top of the book secured by the ribbon and the elastic band)
