From that bag, she took out a small orange notebook, which looked like an orange Moleskine.
I knew Z had her Moleskine planner since start of 2010. But she was unable to convince me to get one, because I always thought it was too costly for my note-taking needs. Then another generous friend gave me 2 Moleskine journals and 1 small Moleskine notebook. I shelved them for several months until last month when I decided to start a journal to record important information about our insurance policies, plans, etc. And only then did I realize how smoothly the pen glides on a Moleskine paper, and ok, to cut the story short, I became an instant fan of Moleskine. The following day or so, Z convinced me to purchase a small 18-month Moleskine planner. And so I did. Yipee!
Going back to chika girl, I admit I kinda wanted to get my own orange notebook also. Well, the chickaness in pulling that small orange thing from out of the bag really made an impression on me, so what can I do? Saaaaabbbbeeeeh!!
But after consulting Google our friend, I realized it is probably not a Moleskine notebook but a Rhodia Webnotebook. The orange elastic closure gave it away.

The French Orange Notebooks with a Cult Following !
These economical pads are a favorite of artists & designers. People love Rhodia pads for their grids, smooth paper and unique scored cover which folds back neatly. The stiff back cover makes writing easy and portable. All Rhodia paper is acid-free and ink-friendly. Their bright orange covers make them instantly recognizable in the store or on the street. Rhodia has been around since the 1930s.
Never write in a dull notebook again. Use Rhodia.The stationer known as “Papeteries Verilhac Freres” was founded in Lyon, France in 1932 by two brothers, Henri and Robert Verilhac. They came from a family of paper merchants, with two brothers from the previous generation having set up a family business selling paper mainly in the southern part of France and North Africa.In 1934, the company moved from Lyon to Sechilienne near Grenoble in the French Alps. The name “Rhodia” comes from the Rhone, a river flowing by Lyon dividing the Alps from the Massif Central. Production of their notepad began that year.
Rhodia was purchased by Clairefontaine in 1997 and production transferred to Mulhouse, in Alsace, France. Members of the Verilhac family still work for Rhodia. The Rhodia logo dates back to 1932. Legend has it that the two Rhodia fir trees symbolize the two founding brothers.People love Rhodia pads and notebooks for their grids, smooth paper & iconic cover.
Rhodia pads feature a coated card cover which is perfectly waterproof & flexible. The Rhodia pad cover is scored to neatly fold back and features superfine vellum Clairefontaine paper in white with an exceptionally smooth satin finish. The unique stiff back cover makes writing easy and portable, and micro-perforated sheets facilitate easy and clean removal of pages.Rhodia pads, notebooks, and accessories are conveniently organized into four discrete collections: Orange & Black Writing Pads, Classic Notebooks, Metallic Notebooks, and Boutique products.
