Jot this down somewhere convenient: A popular Italian luxury stationery company has just launched its first retail store in Singapore.
Moleskine yesterday opened a flagship location 鈥 the first in Southeast Asia 鈥 at Paragon Shopping Centre in Orchard, just in time for the holidays. To celebrate, they have dropped exclusive collections from collaborations with German pen company Kaweco, Italian fashion house Missoni, velvet-maker Pontoglio 1833, and Chinese illustrator Lok Ng.
The 500 square foot space on the second floor of the mall is decorated with their curated collection of journals, diaries, bags, writing accessories, and digital notebooks laid out across shelves and tables. A space also lets customers try out the products and use their tools to personalize them.
The Moleskine x Missoni collection features four notebooks with the Italian fashion brand鈥檚 iconic zig-zag patterns from its famous knitwear in blue, orange, white, and black. It costs S$51.
The Velvet Collection with Pontoglio 1833 showcases another four notebooks in jet black, emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red with 鈥2022鈥 debossed on the silk-blend velvet front. If that鈥檚 not velvety enough, it also comes in a black velvet box. It retails at S$119.
To celebrate next year鈥檚 Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese zodiac, Moleskine brought in Chinese-born illustrator Lok Ng to design three notebooks splashed with the vivid markings of tiger stripes. Each comes with red packets and retails at S$48.
Moving on to the accessories, the brand launched three sleek writing sets with German pen manufacturer Kaweco featuring a fountain pen, rollerball pen, a leather pen case, ink cartridges and bottles of ink. They come in green, black, purple, or red and are enclosed in a vintage-style metal tin. The sets start at S$49.
Moleskine has over 80 stores worldwide.
