COLLECTION FROM STORE ONLY
These matches are designed to elevate the everyday: lighting candles, setting the mood, or simply sitting pretty on your mantlepiece. Beautifully illustrated & crafted bones, premium materials, and a touch of wit, they make perfect gifts (for others or yourself) and prove that even the simplest things can feel special.
As well as being beautiful on the outside they look pretty good inside too. Slide down the cover and open the inner tray to find 125 extra long match sticks (13cm!). As well as being extra long there matches have also been made thicker than others on the market to help guard again breakages, making them even safer to use.
Illustrated by Matthew Rice. Matthew has documented a lifetime of memories and moments in watercolour, recording all that surrounds him, from heritage apples to Venetian rooftops. Often these pictures reflect his life at home in Oxfordshire, surrounded by a kitchen garden, two Labradors, a cat and a gaggle of chickens. If you follow him on Instagram, you will see that Matthew paints a small watercolour, recording each day. Matthew has also illustrated for magazines such as Country Life, as well as for his own much-loved books on architecture, another of Matthew’s great fascinations. He has written and illustrated a number of books on unusual and often overlooked buildings, from Stoke-on-Trent to Norfolk, from Oxford to Rome.

The match sticks are made from responsibly sourced wood from fast growing poplar trees. These trees are generally harvested after a 10-20 year growth period for short rotation forestry (SRF) using the coppicing method, which involves cutting the tree back to its base to promote new growth for repeated harvests. This an eco-friendly cycle which ensures the ongoing habitat these trees provide along with their part in the ecosystem is retained.
