Moleskin embellishes its video game journal design with a strong retro aesthetic. For its new collection, the luxurious stationery supply company is boasting items that are informed by Nintendo's Super Mario video game. The products from the capsule include four notebooks, a phone case and a sleek roll-top backpack.
In its press release, Moleskin stipulates the intended vibe of its video game journals and accompanying accessories as "a newstalgic mixture of contemporary technology and timeless paper." Each notebook is embellished with a custom first-page print that makes the design a little bit more versatile. The backpack, on the other hand, is incredibly functional. It features a breathable mesh, a durable exterior, padded and adjustable straps, as well as an internal pocket that is specified for the dimensions of a Moleskin notebook.
