Located in Italy, as told the world over,* Moleskine was created as a brand in 1997 to bring back the (art and travel) journal made famous by the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and Bruce Chatwin.

*Unfortunately, the Barnes & Noble's town crier shouting it to the masses has affected quality in some of the Moleskine products. So Paperhaus does its best to only carry what its more exacting customers will tolerate.
