THE MATCH MATCHING GAME - NYC EDITION

“Matches tell a story, bring people together, and amuse through their shapes and colors. They’re small designs yet big carriers of memories.” ⇨
-
"Some mothers and daughters bond over sweets, alcohol, and gossip. For others, it’s phillumeny." ⇨
-
"Both started amateur gathering interesting match covers during their respective youthful stints of living in New York City. A few years later, they began documenting collections like their own in their Match of the Day column." ⇨
-
"We're collecting matches that represent our zeitgeist, so that they're more reflective of the restaurants that we patronize, the brands that we love." ⇨
