Honestly, what would we do without Moleskine? From their minimalist pens to their notebooks and agendas – where would we be without them? We’d probably be writing all of our notes on post-its and the palms of our hands. Those hard black notebooks pretty much have a power over us – and if you’ve ever lost one, you can probably say you’ve experienced an anxiety attack.

The brand was created in 1997, resurrecting the legendary notebooks used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries – van Gogh, Picasso, and Hemingway to name a few. Now the brand has found a niche.

Moleskine lovers can now add to their collection – the brand has released lifestyle-focused accessories including bags and wallets.

The Traveling Collection started with five models designed by Giulio Iacchetti – specially conceived for creativity and productivity on the move and has now expanded with the addition of the myCloud bags and wallets.

And just wait and see how they’ve incorporated the signature elastic band.

The exterior of the myCloud messenger bags recall Moleskine notebooks with an elastic band and minimal aesthetics. An elastic band and Velcro straps keep your items safe, while adjustable shoulder straps and padding make it easy on the shoulders. The bag also has exterior pockets for quick access to your essentials while the inside has a bright lining to make it easier to find smaller items.

The myCloud wallets are also lined surprising colors and reflect the signature notebook.

Moleskine has created a few different wallet shapes – the double wallet has two compartments and a dual closure, the zip wallet, which allows you to hold on to extra change, the passport wallet for your travels and a smart wallet with exterior card slots and a back pocket. So now you can keep your cash, credit cards and everyday items as organized as you do your notes.

What better place to keep your Moleskine notebooks than in a Moleskine bag?

Apple has unveiled its new generation of Smart watches, and as expected the whole range is receiving an update. Alongside the Apple Watch Series 9, the tech giant showcased a sequel to its premium adventure-focused smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 builds on the solid foundation its predecessor laid down, and brings a host of useful new features to the party. There are areas where the watch has received a noticeable upgrade, such as with screen brightness and offline capability, and it comes with everything the original Apple Watch Ultra has on top of that. Underpinning everything is a powerful piece of Apple Silicon. The S9 chip adds a host of new sensory capabilities, and a staggering 30% performance boost when compared with Series 8 watches and the original Ultra.

Apple Watch Series 9 vs Apple Watch Series 8: Should you upgrade?

The Newest Apple Watch Comes with Siri Built In

Apple has debuted its next generation of smart watch, promising more power, increased functionality, and an all round upgrade on previous generations. But if you dropped around $400 on an Apple Watch less than a year ago, is it really worth opening your wallet again?

There are several arguments against buying new tech every time it comes out. There may not be that big a performance leap between one or two generations of a device, or in the case of an iPhone changes may actually be minimal from year to year. Then there’s cost to consider. A device like a smartwatch is a significant purchase, so why buy another if you really don’t have to?

Overland is the king of ski towns: Celebrating 50 years of American mountain west outerwear

How did Overland win over the mountain town

Taos Storefront 2023

Every industry has its mainstay brands that only get stronger with more competition. There will always be some new and fresh idea that challenges all those before it and tries to change the industry. Then there are those brands they face, who have been around for decades, weaving in and out of competition and outlasting every challenge thrown their way. For every new and exciting watch brand, there is a Rolex standing strong. While there are plenty of explanations for why a brand outshines every other around it, Overland Sheepskin Co. has an explanation all its own. On this, their 50th year, we look back and try to understand how this family-owned business became the King of the Mountain towns and what keeps them on top.

Back in 1973, the flagship store in Taos, New Mexico, took a bale of sheepskin and a sewing machine and began creating coats, hats, and mittens for the surrounding area. As word began to spread about their quality, the whole family had to pitch in to help out to meet the growing demand. Five decades later, with 17 stores throughout the Rocky Mountains and across the country, they have become a mainstay in the mountain and ski towns for their quality and dependability. We got a chance to sit down with Monty Goodson, manager of the Santa Fe store and a buyer for the company, to find out how they did it and how they maintain the culture that has made them who they are today.
