COLLECTOR'S QUESTIONS​
​
What is Meet Your Matches?
Meet Your Matches is a shop for people who save the little things.
Think original matchboxes and collectibles, one-of-a-kind vintage finds, art and our Match Stash subscription, a mail club celebrating matchbooks, restaurants, travel, and the art of collecting.
What is Match Stash?
Match Stash is our subscription box for collectors.
Each release includes exclusive Meet Your Matches-designed matchboxes along with other paper goods, souvenirs, and occasional surprises inspired by restaurants, travel, and nostalgia. Every edition is produced in limited quantities.
​
Do you sell vintage?
Yes: authentic vintage objects, matchbooks, menus, postcards, ashtrays, hotel ephemera, and other collectible paper goods. Because these pieces are one of a kind, once they're gone, they're gone.
Are your matchboxes real?
Yes. Our original matchboxes are fully functional strike-anywhere or safety matches (depending on the design) and are intended to be both collectible and usable. Many customers display them long after the matches have been used.
​
Will sold-out Match Stash boxes come back?
No. Each Match Stash release is limited and produced only once. Occasionally we'll have a few extras available, but once a collection sells out, it won't be reprinted.
​
Do you restock vintage items?
Not usually. Since most vintage pieces are one-of-a-kind, exact replacements are rarely possible. New finds are added regularly, so it's always worth checking back. If you're looking for something specific, sourcing is available for a fee.
​
When will my order ship?
Most in-stock orders ship within a few business days. Preorders and Match Stash releases have estimated ship windows listed on the product page. Since many of our products are made in small batches or assembled by hand, timelines may shift slightly.
​
Do you offer wholesale?
Yes! We love to partner with boutiques, museums, hotels, and specialty retailers.

​
Can I commission custom art?
Sometimes! Reach out with your idea and find out if commissions are open.
​
Are vintage items in perfect condition?
No, and that's part of their charm. Vintage pieces often show signs of age, use, and history. We do our best to photograph and describe any notable wear so you know exactly what you're receiving.
Can I return my order?
Due to the limited nature of our products, including vintage finds, subscription boxes, and small-batch releases, all sales are final unless an item arrives damaged or there's an error with your order. If something isn't right, please contact us directly.
