When it comes to notebooks, Moleskine has pretty much dominated the scene with their iconic pads that are known for their minimalist aesthetic and quality materials; now they are expanding their collection to other arenas of home necessities with a line titled Reading, Writing and Traveling.
The Reading, Writing and Traveling collection will boast everything from leather bags in various shapes and sizes to stylish reading glasses and simple stationary. The collection was designed by Italian designer Giulio Iacchetti.
What I appreciate about the Reading, Writing and Traveling collection is how it has stayed in-line with the design that made Moleskine hugely popular. With an overall black palette, the line also features a recurring theme of the elastic band that is most notable for keeping their writing pads securely closed.
