Archivist in Autumn

The nights are drawing in, the leaves are considering a change of colour, and suddenly it is time for pumpkins again. With more than 15 years of match-making behind us, we are still rather fond of creating beautiful things designed to be collected, displayed and enjoyed long after their final flame.

From Jill Dunn’s charming lino-cut squashes, to An open matchbox with black-tipped matches, featuring an illustrated white cat with black spots and orange bandana, crescent moon, and stars on a black background. black cats and zodiac matches, to our brand-new matchbooks and keepsake matchboxes, there are plenty of reasons to feel excited about the season ahead.
