the story

"I don't need it, but I want it"

Ideas are a funny thing sometimes, they can be really useful and also odd.

This idea came from wanting to carry matches in a form that we could be proud to show off in a pub. It was one of those "I don't need it, but I want it" moments.

In 2024 George and Dave sat down and designed a slimline leather sheath that could hold matches and a strike pad.

The moment we had one in our hands we realised we had designed something that's more than just an "odd" idea, we had designed something that transforms an ordinary item into a premium feeling tool you could be proud to have in your pocket. Its hard to put a finger on it, but that feeling is sometimes all you need to warrant its existence.
