Moleskine, I’m breaking up with you.
Moleskine, we’re through. I have been a loyal Moleskine user since 2006, and I have enough Moleskines to pad the walls of my apartment. I have written entire books in Moleskines.
The high price of your notebooks I can endure, though it seems more and more ridiculous given the prices of other notebooks of comparable quality whose paper is better than yours. But for years, despite our entreaties, you have been putting out Limited Edition notebooks in lined paper only, with NO PLAIN PAPER options.
I DO NOT LIKE LINED PAPER. This world has enough rules as it is. So goodbye, Moleskine, I loved you, but IT’S OVER.
The price of this entire stack of 13 notebooks from Muji and Miniso with blank pages is less than the price of a single Moleskine notebook. Their paper is as good as the paper Moleskine uses.

Miniso and Muji notebooks are my personal choices; they’re great with fountain pens.

Plus, as a general rule, Moleskines are not fountain pen-friendly (especially with my modified ‘wet’ nibs). Leuchtturm 1917, Victoria journals, and Elias are made with fountain pen users in mind.
Also, Elias is locally made. (We also now have a local fountian pen maker: Kasama and a local fountain pen ink maker [from Cebu!]: Troublemaker Inks).
