Sorry for the wee bit of an absence.....unfortunately the day job comes a calling.
But to get right back into gear, I wanted to tell you about the ever so cool
Postalco.
Originally hailing from Brooklyn, Postalco is a now Japan-based, lifestyle accessories brand -
bags,
wallets, and of course their ever so cool papergoods.
Best known for the spiral bound notebooks, with flat cotton pressed covers, these notebooks are slowly becoming easier to find (At the
Cooper-Hewitt and
Auto shops in NY, as well
Tortoise in Los Angeles), but are well worth the work of tracking them down.
One of their coolest, most recent projects, is their designs for
Opening Ceremony, which is are based on Japanese Temple Geometry. This limited line is only available at Opening Ceremony stores and the Postalco shop in Japan, but are fortunately available
online on OC's website.
Here's some of Postalco's great designs (leather and paper!):

And their work for Opening Ceremony:
