Material

Soft Cowhide

We developed this leather for its luxurious soft touch and the way it fits the body. Aniline dyed to preserve natural color variations that are the trademark of beautiful leather. This full grain leather is uncoated creating a natural surface that's soft and supple. It will quickly get darker with use and exposure to light. Small scratches and stains blend in creating a patina that is only possible with leather.


How We Dye Our Leather

Variations are part of each skin, and even within the same skin. The easier way to make leather color uniform is to cover the surface with thick synthetic fillers and pigment coatings, covering the natural variations in surface and color. Unfortunately this finish does not allow scratches to blend in or improve over time. Postalco leather is colored using aniline dyes. Aniline dyes soak into the leather leaving visible the natural variation in grain and texture. The more aniline dyed leather is used, the better the surface patina gets over time. Each skin is different: a faint stripe-like pattern, called ‘tora’ in Japanese is a natural effect due to the way the dye soaks in to the various parts of the skin. Each skins ‘tora’ is different. Making Veg tanned and Aniline dyed leather is more expensive and time consuming but produces beautiful leathers.

Pressed Cotton

Our Pressed Cotton fabrics are PFAS-free / do not contain PFAS “forever chemicals”.
This fabric is made with the same machines that were used to make tent fabric. The base color of the white threads will become more apparent and it will soften with use. To keep the natural feeling of the material we did not waterproof coat the surface. There is a light water resistant treatment. Cotton is a natural material so slubs and irregularity in the fibers are part of its character. It is possible for wrinkles to appear as well.

 

Care

Leather

With use the shine will mellow and surface scratches picked up along the way will get worked in. The color will also deepen. Leather may fade with use and colors may bleed, especially when wet. If your item gets wet gently blot it with a soft dry cloth to prevent staining and rippling. Shade dry. If the surface appears dry, please use a mild cream over the entire leather surface(such as clear Delicate Shoe Cream)to replenish the moisture. Test cream in an inconspicuous place first. Be sure to use only clear cream as any color will rub off. We use a toothbrush to apply cream in order to get it evenly into the nooks and crannies. Oily leather creams, such as mink oil, will leave a stain so we do not recommend using them. Please be aware that applying care cream will darken the leather. Be sure to apply an even coat of care cream to the entire surface, not just in one area, to avoid staining. Do not leave the product in direct sunlight or under strong lights for long periods as it may cause discoloration or fading.

Pressed Cotton

If your wallet gets wet, pat dry with a soft cloth to absorb any liquid. With strong rubbing the color may come off leaving light spots. Please shade dry in a well ventilated area. If placed near air conditioners or heaters the item may warp.

綴じ込み部分が右側に来るようにする。その手をやや斜めに傾ける。すると重みで自然に名刺入れが広がりだす。ここで、それまで休んでいた右手の出番。名刺入れの口に指をかけ、あくまでも優雅に口を広げる。そして、中から名刺を取り出し交換をする。ひとしきりの話が終わり、相手の名刺を丁寧にしまい、広げた名刺入れを二つに折る。この時、「パタン。。」と、とてもいい音がする。この音がとても心地よい。これまで愛用してきた100枚の名刺入れもいい。そして今回のポスタルコも枚数は少ないが、また違う楽しみを味あわせてくれる。

Make it last
We’re at a turning point where we can't just keep throwing everything away. Things that last a long time, and look good doing it, mean a less disposable daily life.

Learning from Japan
The craftspeople, suppliers, and small workshops found in Japan make things not to be found anywhere else. We are fortunate to work with family businesses that are so focused on their craft. Don’t put Postalco items on a shelf or in a drawer. Their beauty is revealed through daily use. They will help you feel good at home and be ready in a meeting.
