Moleskine S.p.A is an Italian manufacturer of luxury notebooks and other paper products, founded in 1997 by the Italian designer Maria Sebregondi in Milan, Italy.[4] Moleskine production also includes planners, diaries, sketchbooks, and since 2011, leather goods such as backpacks, wallets and various accessories and stationery.

The name Moleskine does not have an official pronunciation. The company claims it is a "brand name with undefined national identity".[5] The Italian pronunciation is [mɔleˈskiːne].

Moleskine's line of notebooks are stylised to follow the aesthetics of a 'traditional' black notebook with rounded corners and ivory-coloured paper. They are typically bound in coated paper cardboard with a sewn spine that allows for the notebook to lie flat when open. An elastic band, used to secure when closed, and a ribbon bookmark are also identifiable characteristics along with an expandable pocket inside the rear cover which is packed in a paper banderole.
