Summary

  • Issey Miyake and Moleskine have collaborated on the “NOTE-A-NOTE” hybrid notebook and card case
  • Designed for business card exchange and quick note-taking, it blends elegance and utility
  • The “NOTE-A-NOTE” is available now on the Moleskine website for $46 USD

The enduring relationship between paper and creativity is beautifully revisited through an Issey Miyake x Moleskine collaboration, “NOTE-A-NOTE.” In an era dominated by digital communication, both companies acknowledge the vital role paper continues to play in daily life, particularly through the exchange of business cards, which strengthens human connections.

This cultural insight inspired the creation of “NOTE-A-NOTE,” an innovative hybrid that marries the utility of a notebook with the sophistication of a card case. Designed for capturing immediate thoughts and impressions, this item is compact, elegant, and perfectly sized to fit in your hand. It features Moleskine’s signature elastic band, which elegantly secures the case with a striking gesture across its central embossed line.

Inside, the “NOTE-A-NOTE” features expandable pockets on each side, each capable of holding up to 20 business cards. Its accordion-style blank pages are ideal for jotting down spontaneous ideas, memories, or meeting notes. Beyond its primary use, this versatile accessory can also function as a multi-purpose case or a minimalist binder, ensuring you’re always prepared to record and remember meaningful moments.

The Issey Miyake x Moleskine “NOTE-A-NOTE” is now available for $46 USD on the Moleskine website.
