These green and red mailboxes are icons of Taiwanese hardware store vernacular. You can find them woven through every locale, from seaside to mountain top. With age, they develop their own patina—the sun fades red to pink, and the rain washes green into grey. Over time, they become individuals, each with a different aspect, reflecting their life of use. This mailbox is one of those anonymous, magic objects that telegraphs Taiwanese vibes of the warmest kind. We’ve had one displayed as an object in our storefront since day one.
