SEND A POSTCARD TO YOUR FUTURE SELF
-POSTCARDS featuring the artworks of artists with disabilities
Founded by Marcus Oh and Teo Weilin, Postboy is more than just a café — it’s a “post office” that lets you send messages into the future.
Marcus Oh shared that he once visited a café in Japan where customers could buy postcards and mail them to their future selves. He loved the idea so much that he brought the concept back to Singapore.
At Postboy, customers can purchase postcards illustrated by artists with disabilities, write a message to themselves, and drop it into a box labeled with the month they wish to receive it. Then, on a day in that chosen month, Postboy will mail the postcard to your home — allowing your future self to reconnect with who you once were.
伴张玮麟联创。Postboy不只是一家咖啡座，还是一个“穿越未来”的“邮局”。胡振辉说，自己在日本看过一家咖啡馆，顾客能在店里买明信片，寄给未来的自己，很喜欢这个概念，便引来狮城。Postboy顾客能在店内买到残障人士绘制的明信片，为自己写下一段话，投进想收到的月份箱子，Postboy便会在那个月的某一天寄到你家，让未来的你和过去的自己重逢。
