Carry it off

MANILA, Philippines - The Moleskine story is built on two simple ingredients — creativity and imagination — and the notebook has accompanied generations of thinkers and artists on their journey of self-expression. As this noble pursuit continues, the brand can’t help but inspire a whole range of accessories that naturally complement its legendary notebook, for the telling of tales that move beyond its pages.

 In this increasingly footloose world, the new Moleskine Travelling Collection, available at select outlets of National Book Store, present innovative, beautifully designed lines of travel bags. For use during both ordinary and extraordinary circumstances, these equally iconic life and travel companions are crafted to last and designed to be treasured as an integral extension of one’s identity.

 The things we carry around clue people in to who we are. The Moleskine Travelling Collection, a family of contemporary travel bags, are designed for the mobile life and for journeys of the mind. The Messenger Bag is a robust, over-the-shoulder urban carryall. The durable and versatile Tote Bag is made with water-repellent materials and a molded base for added stability; while the stylish Utility Bag features several external and internal pockets with zippers for flexible, secure storage.    

Moleskine love: The Moleskine Utility bag (P9,940) can be carried in the hand or on the shoulder. An everyday bag, it’s spacious enough for short trips. With various external and internal pockets with zippers, the Utility bag is both flexible and secure.  

 Chic and compact, the Reporter Bag closely reflects the character of the Moleskine notebook right down to the elastic closure; the Backpack, on the other hand, incorporates adjustable, removable shoulder straps and a molded base to allow the bag to stand when it’s set down. Multipurpose Cases (you can choose from four different sizes) offer storage pouches fitted with Velcro at the rear to keep them attached to the bag lining. Finally, Moleskine Laptop Cases are fitted with stretch fabric, velour lining and light padding to safeguard digital creativity.

The new Moleskine Travelling Collection is available in National Book Store Greenbelt, Power Plant Mall, SM Mall of Asia and TriNoma. Follow National Book Store on Facebook and Twitter for exclusive offers and contests.
