Issey Miyake and Moleskine Redefine Paper and Connection With “NOTE-A-NOTE”

Functioning as a hybrid notebook and card case.

A Meeting of Minds Between Design and Utility

Issey Miyake and Moleskine unite in a collaboration that celebrates the tactile essence of creativity through “NOTE-A-NOTE,” a refined hybrid notebook and card case. In a world increasingly shaped by digital communication, the two brands reassert the enduring intimacy of paper — particularly in the timeless ritual of exchanging business cards as a gesture of connection and respect.

Designed for Modern Simplicity

Compact yet expressive, “NOTE-A-NOTE” embodies the minimalist elegance of Issey Miyake’s design language with the functional precision of Moleskine. The case features the brand’s signature elastic band stretched across a subtly embossed centerline, balancing form and structure. Inside, accordion-style blank pages provide space for capturing ideas, while expandable pockets on each side hold up to twenty business cards — offering an intuitive fusion of note-taking and networking.

Where Paper Meets Presence

Beyond practicality, “NOTE-A-NOTE” reflects a deeper meditation on memory, touch, and creative presence. Whether used as a notebook, card holder, or multi-purpose case, it invites users to pause, write, and connect in the physical world. The Issey Miyake x Moleskine “NOTE-A-NOTE” is now available on Moleskine’s website for $46 USD.
