When everything ends up in one large backpack, it is like a basketful of stuff: it's hard to find the one thing you need. Postalco's Three Pack LT Lamp Black is divided into three large individual compartments to keep contents in easy-to-access zones.
Designed for comfort, the bag sits snug on your back without bulky frames or overly thick cushions. Its shoulder straps connect and continue to the bottom of the bag, structurally supporting the contents. Double leather-wrapped handles on the top make it easy to carry by hand, and long leather zipper pulls allow the bag to be opened and closed even while wearing gloves.
There is a single layer of fabric supported inside the bag with a series of webbing straps. Inspired by the way that bridges divide and balance weight, Postalco made these lightweight bags without hiding their structure.
Three level storage
The Postalco Three Pack LT's main compartment contains a cushioned pocket that fits up to a 16-inch laptop and other notebooks or papers. There are two large zipper compartments on the front, made with dividers that will keep the pockets open even if the others are filled. The bag's top surface has a quick access zipper pouch, large enough to hold a wallet, phone, and other small essentials.
Light hammer nylon
Made to be light and strong, this fabric is named for its almost hammered looking surface, which feels natural but has the strength of nylon. The high density improves the water resistance properties of the fabric, while keeping it thin for a light and effortless bag.
Vegetable-tanned cowhide
To increase strength, the leather was shrunken. This shrinking process makes the leather fibers more dense and imparts a soft flexibility. The signature of shrunken leather is the irregular ‘pebbly’ textured grain that varies from skin to skin.
Postalco leather is colored using aniline dyes. Aniline dyes soak into the leather, preserving the natural variation in grain and texture. The more aniline dyed leather is used, the better the surface patina gets over time. Making vegetable-tanned and aniline dyed leather is more expensive and time consuming, but produces beautiful leathers.

Care for your Postalco bag
* Clean by spot dry clean or wipe with a moistened soft cloth
* Do not machine wash or place in the dryer
* Leather and fabric webbing may fade with use and colors may bleed when wet
* If your bag gets wet gently blot it with a soft dry cloth
* Only use water repellent spray made to be used with both leather and fabric
* If the leather feels dry, use a mild creme to replenish moisture (be sure to use only clear cream as any color will rub off)
Misc-store Amsterdam x Postalco
At Misc-store, we absolutely adore the Postalco products for their incredible quality and and their general approach to product design. We as humans are restricted to what we can do on our own, and have developed a great variety of tools to help us through life. If the objects we use in our everyday life are well made, we will use them longer and with greater pleasure. This idea - the well-aging tool - is at the centre of Postalco's design approach.
Misc-store has carried the Postalco line for 7 years now. During this period, we have seen many versions and items come and go, and have grown to love the brand and its products more and more with each improvement.
We are not the only fans: our customers share this growing appreciation, and we have had the pleasure of seeing tons of different uses for Postalco's items. Especially their Snap Pad has been sold as a wedding guest book, a portfolio, a lamp color filter holder for a film director - its purpose is as varied as our customer base.
Misc-store Amsterdam x Postalco will be a collaboration to continue into the future: we are excited to see what more innovation they will bring, and what other ways people will come up with to use their products.
