Moleskine earns strong reviews as a dependable, well-made notebook brand that excels in durable covers, smooth paper, thoughtful details (ribbon bookmark, elastic band, back pocket), and broad size/layout options, though paper thinness can cause bleed-through and lay-flat varies by format. Reviewers praise its sleek, classic design and longevity for journaling, planners, and travel, while noting downsides like occasional ink bleed, transparency, fewer pages than competitors, and a strap that can lose elasticity.

  • Most sleek and business professional notebook on the market. Staple coworker gift.

  • these are my go to (dotted always) for sketching, journaling, basically anything because they just LOOK SO DANG GOOD AND THE PAPER QUALITY IS ELITE.

  • The one and only! I prefer these notebook to both Leuchtturm and Smythson. They're easy to write in but don't feel too precious, and they're widely available and well-priced. It always feels like such a treat to receive a fresh Moleskine.

  • A classic to keep in your purse when you travel or to have with you for your meetings! Love the fact that you can personalize it sometimes in pop up store ! I did one at Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche in Paris with my BF initials he loved it

  • I don't know what it is about these but they make you want to buy them and just hoard them for all the little notes you could write. Wildly durable. Makes me feel cool while using them. They are expensive.

  • Incredible notebooks that just feel so luxurious and are worth the money.

  • Very high quality notebooks! Mine has lasted over 8 years and still feels great.

  • The Moleskine notebooks are a very high quality product that will suit your everyday note-taking needs. The binding is sturdy and the thickness of the pages are like no other. From note-taking to journaling, I would highly recommend using moleskine notebooks and products. You definitely will not be disappointed in this product.

  • I'm honestly surprised that this is on Thingdrop. Moleskine has been the go-to for high quality notebooks for decades, and for good reason.

    These notebooks are insanely high quality and are an instant classic. They're a pleasure to hold/feel and you'd be surprised at how much of a difference that makes.

  • Love the quality of Moleskine notebooks. However, in recent years the price has gone through the roof and sadly I can't justify them for everyday use. Weird to say that a notebook is a luxury or splurge item.

  • Moleskin is a basic, great notebook in all the sizes, colors and shapes you could ask for. Their design or model isn't crazy, but it's dependable and not going anywhere. They're widely distributed which makes them easy to find, which is also a bonus!

  • Moleskine are the loveliest notebooks. The paper is so soft, even the tiniest size feels luxurious. I had some embossed for a gift for my team and they loved them. They're pricey so I buy them more for gifts / important things rather than everyday sketching / notes. Really nice range of colours.

    Nothing.

  • Just beautifully made notebooks. I love them for sketching or journaling. Definitely worth the money when on sale

  • I love Moleskin! Have been using their notebooks and planners for years. Great quality of paper, really easy to carry sizes and simple colours. Definitely a great quality purchase for affordable prices. Love that they are widely available, and that they come in beautiful colours!

  • pages are a little thin for my taste, and you get some bleed through on pens. BUT, overall, they're great high quality notebooks that are easy to carry around. I always keep them around!

  • I love Moleskin's good quality notebooks, especially the wide range of colours and special additions they offer. Whenever I'm looking for a gift, Moleskin is a timeless classic that always delights everyone 📕

  • Great products, only issue I’ve ran into is the strap eventually will lose its strech.
