THE BACKPACK COLLECTION:
NEW MOLESKINE BAG THAT ADDS AN INTRINSICALLY
PERSONAL LAYER TO YOUR EVERYDAY JOURNEYS
Moleskine embraces and celebrates self-expression and
exploration of the mind and the world which surrounds us. The
new Backpack Collection, which launches in February 2019
invites the individual to express themselves and their creativity
with an essential and simple selection of bags designed around
their needs as well as their likes. Versatile as it is an object of
design, the Backpack will be with you, #WEAReverYOUare.
The Moleskine Classic Backpack has become one of our most-
loved bags, which is why Moleskine has chosen to extend
the single design created by Italian industrial designer and
Moleskine Creative Director Giulio Iacchetti into an entire
collection unto itself, but in a wider selection of colors and
materials that each speak to a different facet of ourselves.
Conceived as roaming containers of identity and amplifications
of contemporary lifestyles and beings, the new Backpack
is available in three new fabrics: a technical weave which is
particularly durable and resistant, it adapts and conforms to
the demanding and modern exigencies of a life on the move;
a breathable, natural canvas with a softer profile for a more
reflective and meditative pace and lifestyle; and in ripstop
nylon, a featherweight yet strong and tear-resistant textile that
fits seamlessly into and exuberant life driven by curiosity and
creativity.

Going forward, other materials will be introduced such as
neoprene, thus amplifying and enriching the collection. The
color palette of the bags is sophisticated and subtle in muted
and understated hues which celebrate a natural color scheme
that embraces earthy tones. The Backpack also features an
ingeniously designed rigid base which means that it stands
upright on its own and won’t topple over when placed on
any flat surface. The selection ensures that there is the right
Backpack for everyone, in synch with their subjective choices,
philosophies and personal journeys: one design, multiple
fabrics and colors that best express who they are.
The silhouette of the Backpack mimics the profile of the Classic
Moleskine Notebook with its rounded corners and “in case of
loss” label and not unlike the Classic Notebook, it protects
and stores our most inspired and daring ideas that come to us
as we find ourselves on the move as well as holding our most
treasured objects that identify us wherever we are, across urban
landscapes and beyond.
The Backpack is available at all Moleskine stores,
Moleskine.com and at selected stores worldwide
