moleskine hearts hawaii

moleskine hawaii edition

my morning email included the most delightful news from interisland terminal about its new collaboration with moleskine, maker of the legendary notebooks adored by so many. (the pocket calendar is my constant companion whenever i am on the go). the limited edition notebook features local designer angelica rabang's modern take on the hawaiian islands embossed on the front cover which will surely make paper goods geeks who love the 808 state swoon with happiness.

extra details: large notebook. grid pages. hard cover. $25.

even more noteworthy, every single dollar will benefit interisland terminal's public programs for contemporary art, film and design. isn't that nice to know?

notebook pre-orders just opened on the IT website earlier today. oahu pickup starts next week at na mea/native books at ward warehouse or ship to your mailbox for $5.
