PTT Post

This shirt is made from an original PTT Post textile - once part of the Dutch national mail service that shaped the country’s communication network for nearly a century. Founded in 1893, PTT Post was responsible for the Netherlands’ postal, telegraph, and telephone systems, and became known for its unmistakable visual identity: bold reds, deep blues, and crisp whites echoing the colors of the Dutch flag.

The fabric itself reflects that heritage. Designed for durability and clarity, these textiles were built for carrying letters, parcels, and stories across the country long before the digital era. Their utilitarian weave and graphic simplicity mirror the straightforward, efficient spirit of mid-century Dutch design.

Reimagined as a one-of-a-kind garment, this piece preserves the history of a national institution while transforming it into something entirely personal - an artifact of movement and connection, now crafted to be worn forward.
