Sacys 280 De Luxe- Restored 1970s Portable Typewriter (QWERTY, Orange)

Bright, bold, and unmistakably retro, the Sacys 280 De Luxe is a portable typewriter made in Japan during the 1970s. Manufactured by Silver-Seiko Ltd. and rebranded for European markets, this model combined Japanese engineering precision with the playful, colourful design trends of the decade. Its vibrant orange casing makes it not only a functional writing tool but also a true statement piece for any desk.

Compact and easy to carry, the 280 De Luxe was designed for students, home writers, and anyone who wanted the joy of typewriting without the bulk of an office machine. With its reliable mechanics and smooth keystroke, it remains a durable and inspiring choice today.

This machine has been professionally restored in our workshop in Fuengirola, Spain. Every component has been cleaned, adjusted, and lubricated for smooth typing. A fresh ribbon is installed, so it’s ready to create from the moment it arrives.
