Review: Etchr Lab Mystery Pack (Spring Edition)

Review sample provided by Etchrlab

Etchr Lab is a company from Australia that sells art supplies, and I've featured many of their art products over the years.

They have started mystery packs recently and I've always wondered what's in them. I'm personally not fan of mystery packs or boxes because I would like to know what I'm paying for. Anyway, Etchr Lab reached out, again, to ask if I'm interested to check out their latest mystery pack, aka Mystery Pack Spring Edition, and I said sure.

By the way, this post I've written is not a review. I'll be keeping all the items brand new so that I can give them out to lucky sketchers at the monthly sketchwalks organised by Urban Sketchers Singapore. I receive too much art supplies for review purposes and it's just not possible for me to use them up, or keep them all.

There have been several mystery packs in the past and they are all sold out now.

This particular one is selling at SGD 156 (USD 122) and that includes free global shipping.

According to the company, you get a discount of around 40% compared to buying the items individually.

This pack is packed safely, and is quite thick. Of course the fun of buying mystery packs is in the element of surprise you get when unpacking.

These are all the items included.

Etchr Mini Palette (SGD 68, USD 53)

This is the Etchr Mini Palette designed by Stephanie Law. I've reviewed this several years ago.

There are two porcelain palettes, one with 19 wells and the other with 7 wells.

Etcher Watercolour Paint Set (SGD 61, USD 48)

This is a 12-half pan watercolour set.

The paint is student grade, lightfast, transparent and vegan friendly. I've not reviewed these before so I can't say much about the quality.

Watercolour block with wood-pulp paper (SGD 29, USD 23)

The watercolour paper here is made with wood-pulp or cellulose, and hence it's student grade paper. Etchr Lab do sell 100% cotton watercolour paper blocks and those are more expensive, but quality of course is also much better.

Llamated Edition Accordion Sketchbook (SGD 50 estimated, USD 39)

I have to estimate the price of this since this is a special edition accordion sketchbook that's not sold on their website. Etchr Lab does sell accordion sketchbooks, but they are of different size and paper weight.

This accordion sketchbook is really well made. The cover feels like leather but it's not real leather since most of Etchr Lab's products are vegan friendly.

There are 22-pages of 100% cotton watercolour paper (300gsm). The paper quality is excellent.

Watercolour Post Cards and Envelopes (SGD 90, USD 70)

This is quite expensive and you can tell from the way it's designed, it's meant to be a luxury product.

There are 30 pieces of 100% cotton watercolour post cards included. The paper quality looks and feels amazing. There are folds on the cards, in case you're thinking of using them as panorama paper.

Imagine painting and writing something on this and sending them out.

The envelope is also thick and well made. This box set is certainly an exquisite gift.

The total

If you are to buy all the items individually, they would cost SGD 298 (around USD 232) but Etchr Lab is selling them at SGD 156 (USD 122). As to whether they are worth the money, you can decide.

If you're interested to buy this, you can buy it from their online store.

At the time of writing this, there's a countdown timer on their website so I guess they will stop selling this on 24 April 2026, 5pm SGT (2am PDT).
