Vintage

 

A lot people ask about this strange item, the "Cachet Crampon" ! I invit you to travel in time, a time where people write letters by hands and need to be sent in envelops ! This is a tool to, as it states "Making absolutely inviolable envelopes". It comes with small metal pieces that you can push with the strange tool to close your envelop... Images talk more than my words here :

 

 

 

 

 

 

The set is complete and now available in the found section on the shop.

 

After weeks of delaying it, the first FOUND products are now available. I love vintage type and objects, so I collect them over years and want to found more ! So I am seeling them and hope I can hunt again soon. Some are already sold out after the teasing I did on facebook and others, so if you want something, do not wait !

 

Want to highligh some products I really like :

 

Amazing heavy vintage Camera, coming with old tape and its leather (very damaged) sleeve

 

 

 

Bus medecine box

With the succes of the 113/577 ebook, it makes me want to do more... But it take time, and I am working on it... At the same time, I figure out some recent posts can do good ebooks... So with the help of Mathieu, who develops Mr Cup (and believe me, he is patient), we just launch the new eBooks page. I also want to update the navigation of the shop, with direct acess to stickers, wood, posters, etc...

 

 

Hope you like them all !

 

I want to post something unique for tonight, and I dig into my "sources" folder, there you can found thousand and thousand images, old papers, textures I have scan over the years... I was looking for something for the vintage section... And found this stamps catalogue, so I want to share the story behind it...

 

I guess it was in 2002 or 2003, I lived in middle of France, Clermont-Ferrand... I need to do a stamp and someone tell me this guy was the best. His shop looks like in Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. At this time, letterpress hasn't made its coming out yet, so, seeing old metal fonts was something for me... This guys keep all the stamps he had composed for clients, and told me the shop was in his familly for generations... I ask him if I can shoot the shop, and as I was really passionate, he shows me this old catalog of stamps, and he offers it to me, saying it would be in good hands ! And it is !

 

So, if you look each page in details you may found compositions that I used for wall stickers... If you found which one, email me the sticker name and I will gave you a special discount code ! Work only for the first right anwer !

 

 

And these are the photos I took, 10 years ago !
