Once loved by famous author Neil Gaiman, Moleskin notebooks are known for their high-quality paper and sturdy construction.
But what about the Moleskin Cahier collection?
Let’s dive in.
What is the Moleskin Cahier collection?
The Cahier collection was created to be the lightweight notebook and notepad for the everyday writer. Hardback journals are great but you can not shove them in a pocket easily.
The Cahier collection conforms to almost any shape. And Moleskin figured out how to create a flexible notebook that does not disintegrate after regular use.
You’ll fill the notebook to the brim with ideas before it falls apart.
Before you buy a Moleskin Cahier consider this
Consider your use case before you buy a Moleskin Cahier. Will you use it as a pocket notebook? Or will you carry it in your purse or backpack? If so, consider a case.
Will you use the notebook for daily journaling? If so, the larger versions may be better you’ll have more room to elaborate. The smaller pocket notebooks are ideal for anyone jotting down a note while on the run.
As phones become intertwined in our daily lives, more and more people have opted into carrying a pocket notebook to take back some of their reliability on their devices.
Also, consider the paper type you want. Some people need lined paper while others prefer graph paper because it supports drawing and writing.
Make a note to avoid using a bleed-through pen of any kind so you can write on both sides of every paper.

What others have said about the Moleskin Cahier
Many Moleskin Cahier customers rave about the quality of their Moleskins and how surprisingly durable they are after daily use. And even survive being stored away. A couple of customers mentioned yellowing after many years on the shelf.
Here are a couple of customer stories from the internet:
A Reddit user shared, “I started carrying a Moleskine and a space pen in my back pocket about a month ago. It goes everywhere with me now and has held up to abuse well.”
Another said, “I personally prefer moleskins, but I think in the end that’s really all it is, personal preference. I have tons of them in my room and backpack for different writing tasks, and I’d be lost using anything else.”
Cahier Cover
Sometimes journal entries are private or your surroundings are not as conducive to exposed paper. Hide & Drink created a leather zipped journal cover for Moleskin Cahier notebooks.
It’s perfect for the Cahier series if you want to add a layer of protection from the elements such as rain and grim.
