Moleskine has launched a Paddington collection developed with STUDIOCANAL Kids & Family, built around the character's curiosity, imagination and what the company calls the beauty of life's perfectly imperfect moments. The collaboration runs to four distinctive designs and goes on sale through Moleskine's own UK retail and a set of partner stores.
Moleskine says the range is designed for Paddington enthusiasts and collectors, for stationery lovers and for anyone who enjoys putting pen to paper. The company describes it as a meeting of its own signature approach to creative expression with the enduring appeal of one of Britain's most beloved literary characters, and presents the collection as a tribute to Paddington's creator, Michael Bond.
What the collection includes
The line is made up of four elements:
- A Paddington-themed notebook
- Three unique cahier designs
- A giftable bundle box containing a large canvas notebook and coloured pencils
- A set of two collectable pins
Taken together, the items cover a notebook format, a presentation-ready gift set and a small collectable, so the range reaches everyday notebook buyers alongside gift shoppers and collectors. The bundle box pairs the large canvas notebook with coloured pencils rather than offering the notebook on its own, and the pins are sold as a pair.
Moleskine presents the four designs as variations on the same themes it uses to frame the character.
Launch trail in central London
To mark the launch, Moleskine will hold a Paddington trail titled "The Mystery of the Missing Marmalade" on Sunday 1 November, running from 1pm to 4pm. Families and fans are invited to explore central London, visiting Moleskine stores, partner stores and the Paddington Official Store and collecting stamps at each stop along the way. Those who complete the trail will receive a special limited-edition Paddington cahier.
The route spans Moleskine's own shops, partner stores and the official Paddington store, so participants collect stamps across several venues inside the three-hour window, and the completion reward is a cahier that is not described as part of the standard collection.
Availability
The collection will be sold online and in all UK Moleskine stores, as well as in selected Waterstones, John Lewis & Ryman stores, Selfridges London and WHSmith.
The announcement did not give prices, production quantities or a breakdown of what distinguishes each of the three cahier designs.
