Moleskine Now Available in the Philippines
Thursday
Nov 2, 2006
If you have a taste for the finer things in life, then you should get yourself a Moleskine notebook. It’s the Macintosh of notebooks. It’s the Rolls Royce of notebooks. It’s not only about the price or the visual appeal. It’s all about the sensual experience that you get from using these beautiful pieces of work. Hey, that’s why I use a Mac for my writing work. And when I’m off the grid, ordinary pen-and-paper just won’t do. My Moleskine notebooks helps me get the most out of my disconnected moment, whenever needed.
Creative types work best with good tools and a conducive environment. So if you’re serious about your art or craft–be it writing, drawing, or maybe even taking notes–do something about it. Make sure you come up with the best output by using the right tools and being at the right state of mind.
Moleskine notebooks were previously unavailable in the Philippines, but now moleskineph.com is distributing locally. They don’t have a brick-and-mortar store, though, so you have to check out their online catalog and order by email. Prices range from PhP 750 to PhP 900 for the small notebooks (sets of three or so) and PhP 1,250 for the big ones. Not bad, since these usually retail in the US for about US$ 15 to US$ 20.
With Christmas nearing, I think a Moleskine would make for an excellent gift for your loved ones–a good alternative if you can’t just afford a MacBook Pro for each of them just yet.
