Uses of Moleskine notebooks are as diverse as it's patrons. Whether you're a writer, artist, traveler, adventurer, journalist, civil engineer, doctor, surgeon, director, playwright, executive, student, professor, et cetera - you are in great company.

Moleskine journals have been treasured by some fairly influential people:

Henry Matisse (1869-1954), one of the most important French painters of the 20th century.

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), the master Dutch painter. Seven notebooks belonging to Vincent van Gogh and dating back to the period 1881 to 1890 are on display at the Van Gogh Museum of Amsterdam.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), considered the most influential writer of the last century.

André Breton (1896-1966), French poet, essayist, critic, and editor, chief promoter and one of the founders of Surrealist movement, has a moleskine kept in the library of Paul Eluard.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of his century, spent early adult years in Paris, where he found like-minded poets and painters. Picasso made valuable contributions to art throughout his life, from cubism to surrealism, always remarkably prolific with boundless energy.

Writer-traveler Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989), who picked up on the beauty of the Moleskine pocket journal and was instrumental in making it famous. He always stocked up before going on his infamous journeys. He had a ritual set up over the years - before using them, he numbered the pages, wrote his name and at least two addresses in the world with the promise of a reward in case they got lost. His famous quote: "Losing my passport was the least of my worries, losing a notebook was a catastrophe".
