One helpful tip per day:)

How did Moleskine notebooks make a comeback? Roland Allen explored its history:

  1. In 1995, Maria Sebregondi and Francesco Franceschi decided to develop a product aimed at modern "nomads," hoping to attract creative, free-spirited, and mobility-focused consumers;
  2. Their inspiration came from the classic black oilcloth notebooks used by famous writers like Chatwin and Hemingway. Two years later, Moleskine launched in Milan, sold through bookstores, with 3,000 notebooks sold in the first year and 30,000 in the second;
  3. Moleskine’s design considered the needs of frequent travelers: the notebook is durable, pocket-sized, and includes an elastic band to keep it closed;
  4. Around the same time, the Palm Pilot PDA was launched. Nearly thirty years later, the Palm brand has all but disappeared, while Moleskine remains a best-seller.
