Rhodia Webbie Notebook
A Moleskine Competitor With Real History
Moleskine notebooks have become the notebook-of-choice for the stylish and creative set who need to carry a notebook around to jot down their brilliant ideas at a moment’s notice. After all, that’s what Hemingway and Van Gogh and Chatwin used to capture their mind’s contents, and so why wouldn’t you?
There’s just one catch: Moleskine was founded in 1997, meaning they missed Hemingway by more than 30 years. And once you take away the historical mystique, you start to wonder what else might be out there in the hip notebook world.
Enter the Rhodia Webby. Founded in 1934, Rhodia is a historic French brand and makes a viable Moleskine competitor in their Webbie notebook. For a bit more money than the Moleskine, you get a great notebook with high quality paper that stands up to even your broadest fountain pen, and will be ready for whatever you do with it thanks to its hard cover and an expanding pocket inside. Plus the cool orange color might catch that artsy girl at the coffee shop’s attention, just don’t let her know that your deepest inner thoughts are about football and nacho toppings.
