WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

My friend Vienna Vernose actually got me into collecting matches. I collect matches to use as decor around my house (I like to color coordinate matches with candles or various house decorations) and to remember wherever I got the match from.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

My favorite is probably the @chateaumarmont because it’s one of my favorite places in the world and I love their logo. I have lots of details from the hotel around my apartment and they always bring back pleasant memories.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I have a strange fear of lighting matches so I’ve only ever lit one once in my life, they’re purely decorative or for guests!
