Moleskine, officially pronounced mol-a-skeena, but often commonly refered to simply as mole-skin, is both a term used to refer to a notebook covered with black oilcloth and a brand of such notebooks manufactured by Modo e Modo.

The Modo e Modo variety was a response to the discontinued manufacture of the original notebook, the last of which were bought by the traveller-writer, Bruce Chatwin. When asked about the notebooks, the proprietor of the small family-run French stationer declared "Le vrai moleskine n’est plus". The truth of the Moleskine is no more.

Now the Moleskine is back and ready to record the adventures, journeys and stories of a new generation.
