I have been a fan of Moleskin for at least 15 years. I think for watercolors, the thicker pages on their original blank sketchbooks would be a better option than their regular bullet journal notebooks, which have much, much thinner pages. Just not the right Moleskine for this particular job.

One of my favorite things about the Moleskine is the real leather covers. This is one of my pet peeves of the Leuchtturm1917. Perhaps some prefer a vegan cover, but I love love love the buttery feel and unsurpassed durability of the Moleskine covers. Comparing the covers of my A5 Leuchtturm1917 bullet journal to the Moleskine planner I use at work, the feel of the Moleskine is still something I want to touch and hold, where my Leuchtturm1917 feels kind of tacky and not as satisfying.

Thanks for offering your honest opinion. I Have wanted to try a Moleskine for years just because of the name, but have heard many people say the same thing you said about the paper. What is your favorite bujo to use then??

I have used Moleskines for several years and have only recently branched out to try other brands. I agreed with your evaluation of the paper, now that my Bujo use has expanded to lettering and some watercolor use, I find that heavier paper is useful. As for the bookmark and elastic issue, I have never had these problems. My notebooks have survived being thrown in totes, purses, and (the minis) in lab coat pockets.

I agree with the paper quality. I found it to be a bit scratchy under my fountain pen nibs and the ghosting on almost all and bleed through with some inks was what kept me away from most of their notebooks.

Hello Shelby,

Thank you for your honest review of Moleskine. The brand is around for such a long time and I have kept wondering whether it is really worth trying.

I will definitely try it in the future to see for myself, anyway thank you for your advice.

Have a lovely day.
