Reuters – Moleskine Files for I.P.O.

Italian notebook maker Moleskine has filed with Italian regulators for an initial public offering of stock in Milan to be held possibly by early November, a partner at majority owner Syntegra Capital told Reuters. The maker of thread-bound jotters based on originals favoured by Vincent Van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway has hired Goldman Sachs, Mediobanca and UBS to run the offering which would make it the third premium Italian brand to go public in little over a year despite a tough economic environment, Reuters wrote.
