Just perfectly pretentious
Moleskine notebooks, despite the price tag, are my Lovemark. Everything from the yellowed, smooth pages to its fraying, purple bookmark is just perfectly pretentious—in a good way. I was first drawn to them because they are, after all, the notebooks of Ernest Hemingway and Van Gogh. This is not to mention the million different varieties of the books—from ruled notebooks to watercolors, music notebooks to travel books—that keep me wanting (and needing!) more.

Makes an awesome gift
Moleskine makes an awesome gift: useful, cult, and creative. I always give away a Moleskine notebook to someone who will appreciate the history behind it. Everywere I go, my Moleskine comes with me - I use it as a written memory album, with thoughts, ideas, and wishes.

Moleskines are awesome
The perfect combination of form and function. A convenient little packet to capture your thoughts and imagination. I love these notebooks for creating art and keeping my life on track. Moleskines are awesome.

Already worth it
I just love Moleskine. Don't know when it started, but now I have like ten of them, from agendas to city books to notebooks. I could have them all! I'm doing a Masters here in Milan and through it I got the possibility to intern at Moleskine. I will check out how it all works, to get ideas for my thesis that I wish to do on something about brand values and user experience. So I'm really excited and think it will be just great. Already worth it, at my first meeting there, they gave me some notebooks as a gift!

They got me!
I am guilty of loving Moleskine for no apparent reason other than I just love it. I feel that the quality is superior to other notebooks. Is it worth $18 for a notebook, probably not, but they got me! I spent $35 on Moleskine this week. They are a sleek design and have a nice feel.

Exactly what I need!
The truth is that I am crazy about any kind of notebooks. I feel I need it everywhere at any time no matter what I am doing: working, travelling, chatting, even shopping. I wander among different models never thinking about special brands and Lovemarks. Recenty I came across the Moleskine - that's changed my mind. I realized that it is exactly what I need! Moleskine offers you fabulous and stylish notebooks! I already have one and I am excited!

My security blanket
Moleskine is the only journal I will ever use. My first Moleskine was in 2006. I would be completely lost without the wonderful books. I don't write as often as I would like, but just seeing it everyday in my bag is an immense comfort to me. I guess Moleskine is my security blanket.

I'm loving it!
More than a notebook, I can’t imagine travelling without my Moleskine. My Moleskine and my iPod are my obsession. I'm loving it!

Won me over
I have been searching around for a 2009 diary for the following year. My friend mentioned this Moleskine Diary she was itching to have and recomended it so much that we set a date to go get one each. The day before I encountered an old friend who had one. I skipped through hers and felt let down about what my friend had told me about it. Yes, it had beautiful smooth edges. Off white paper, simple design but it did not scream 'buy me'. That night I set off on my date, deciding that I would end up finding something more colourful and vibrant, more me. When we reached the bookshelf my mind changed completely. The first thing I noticed is the way the book marketed itself as a Lovemark. It was not just a diary. It was a place for you to impress your feelings, ideas, sketches, discoveries and perceptions on paper. The second, the history leaflet inside which associated Picasso and Van Gogh with itself. The third was that it was crafted for me. Handmade but replaceable with any sign of fault. Lastly the small thank you at the end which spoke to me and allowed me to feel as I was in the process of making such a beautiful design. All I can say is that wee booklet inside won me over. I HEART MOLESKINE DIARIES.

Makes me want to create
Yesterday I got my own Moleskine. A funny thing - it makes me want to create something. To write a note, a thought, a quote, to draw, even though I cannot draw. I wonder - how long will it last? How long this true magic will last?
