History of the Moleskine: Notebooks with the same features as the present Moleskine notebooks were a popular standard in 19th and 20th century Europe, handmade by small French bookbinders who supplied the stationery shops of Paris. Moleskines have been used as war journals, as mind mapping journals for famous novelists, as sketch pads for famous artists and as meditations by famous philosophers, such as Oscar Wilde, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Henri Matisse. Moleskines are manufactured by Moleskine Srl, an Italian company based in Milan. The company has even produced a Kindle Moleskine Cover.
