Hi Huneybees,
Evolving from their minimalistic yet practical notebooks, the Moleskine Classic Bag Collection has finally launched in Singapore.
Sticking to their curved edges, sleek and portable notebooks, the bags also take on a slim profile, whilst keeping your bag organized with great functionality and ergonomics. There are a few models to choose from - sling bags, backpacks and shoulder bags, all set to match your everyday needs and outfit.
Plus, the signature time-honoured “in case of loss” notice ( that is also found on the very first page of every Moleskine notebook) is also available within the bags’ interiors! The base of the bags comes with a rigid shell to keep your valuables protected while keeping the bag in shape and not shaggy when you have heavy items in the bag.
Singapore will get the latest Fall/Winter 2017 collection which will feature the bags in Steel Blue, Myrtle Green, and Slate Grey. Below are what you can expect to find in stores...

At the launch, we have also introduced the MoleSkine Smart Writing Set. It has been on the market for awhile but paired with the Moleskine bags, it makes a perfect companion for those on the move.
Sold at S$359, it might be a little costly, but seeing how the grid notebook, pen and app allows you to work in tandem to digitise your notes, doodles and writing. I might just consider getting it too.
Simply pen down your ideas/drawings onto the pages of the notebook and watch it transform into a digital version on your synced smartphones, tablets or laptops. You can colour, edit, export and share it via email and other apps on your digital devices. I think this makes a great way to share your thoughts and drawings, without having the need to scan and also works as a great backup for your drawings and notes, just in case you have spilled drinks all over your notebooks!
