British brand Sunspel has collaborated with Postalco to produce a limited edition collection of notebooks, wallets and cardholders. The inspiration behind the offerings is a prototype fabric sketch conceived by a Sunspel technician in the 1950s. All pieces were handcrafted in Japan, where Postalco is now based.
Available through Sunspel.com, the card holder retails for $217, notebook for $82.60 and the wallet for $273.
For a company that’s known for their office stationery, Postalco‘s latest ventures have really delivered some great pieces while staying true to their core-business philosophies. While the business began in Brooklyn, NY, the company’s offices and shop are both in Tokyo. The No. 84002 backpack is one of our favorite pieces as the shell is made of a light linen-cotton blend, and fitted with shrunken leather straps and handles.
An essential piece for every well-networked individual is the business card holder. There’s no reason why your holder can’t show some life. Ditch the gold and sterling silver varieties and adopt one of these. The patterns on these Postalco business card holders are redrawn from traditional japanese geometry: sangaku.
