Moleskine Small Memo Pockets
Product Description This long-standing tradition was continued by writer-traveller Bruce Chatwin who used to buy his moleskines at an old Paris stationery shop in Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie where he would always stock up before embarking on one of his journeys. Over the years he had developed a veritable ritual. Before using them he would in fact number the pages, writing on the inside his name and at least two addresses across the world, and a message promising a reward for anyone finding and returning the notebook in case of it being lost. He even suggested this method to his friend Luis Sepulveda, when he gave him a precious moleskine as a present for a journey they were planning to undertake together in Patagonia. And there was no doubt as to how precious it was, given that at the time even the last moleskine manufacturer, a small family-run firm of Tours, had discontinued production in 1986. 'Le vrai moleskine n'est plus' was the short and curt statement of the owner of the stationery shop where Chatwin had ordered one hundred before leaving for Australia. Despite having literally swept up all the Moleskines he could find, they were not enough. Now, the moleskine is back again. This silent and discreet keeper of an extraordinary tradition, which has been missing for years, has set out again on its journey. A witness to contemporary nomadism, it can once again pass from one pocket to another to continue the adventure. The sequel still waits to be written and its blank pages are ready to tell the story. Reader Reviews I had planned on using this for an index card-based hipster PDA, but because there are only six pockets and I like to see my to-dos with a clear front or something, it didn't work out. However, I found that this product worked perfectly as a wallet for me. I have the six pockets categorized as 1) cash/student ID, 2) driving (DL, insurance card), 3) credit card 1 (card, any receipts), 4) credit card 2 (card, any receipts), 5) banking (debit card, account numbers), 6) miscellaneous cards (phone card, movie rental membership cards, etc.). I like it for holding money because the pockets are totally enclosed, so I can hold change in them without worrying about them slipping out the bottom or something. Also, coupons slip easily into the front pocket when I'm doing the grocery shopping. It can hold all of my receipts as well. Best of all, the elastic strap keeps it closed and keeps everything contained, and even when it's full, it stays pretty slim and compact so that it fits easily in my purse. Great product!
