WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I love grabbing matchbooks and the memories of great meals, nights and people they can bring back when you pick them up.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

I promise I'm not bougie, but I'm obsessed with the @ysl matchbox I got at an event. The all black box is everything and I love the long matches for lighting older candles. The @westbourne ones are also a fave cause they were such an institution in my neighborhood.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I'm constantly burning candles and palo santo, so I have matchbooks scattered all over my apartment so they're there when I need them.
