FOUR INTENTIONS · KNOTTED BY HAND
Four corners. Four intentions.
Each scarf I make is knotted at four corners. Each knot is an intention — named out loud, in the studio, while I tie.
-
KNOT NO. 01
I. Love
The first knot. Without it, nothing else holds. I tie this one slowest.
-
KNOT NO. 02
II. Happiness
Not the surface kind — the kind that stays when things go hard. I knot it tight.
-
KNOT NO. 03
III. Adventure
A reminder that you were made for more than staying still. This one I say out loud.
-
KNOT NO. 04
IV. Mystery
The one I love most. For everything you cannot plan. I leave this one a little loose.
"I won't tell you the words I say while I tie — only that they hold."
FROM THE STUDIO
Some weeks I'm a maker. Some weeks I'm just a man with thread and intention.
My father died of cancer. I taught myself to sew. I made twelve scarves — kept one, gave eleven to my neighbors on the streets of Venice. That was 2012. I'm still here. I'm still making them.Every scarf that leaves my hands carries that same intention: that something beautiful can come from something hard.

NO. 8 · WELCOME
Welcome
"Welcome."
This is always my greeting to folks who come toward me. Not "How are you?" Not "Hi."
I want all those who come into our orbit to know they are welcome. That what we offer is a beautiful, tangible offering, but also a spiritual one.
Late Sunday Afternoon is so much more than a scarf.
I created this out of my own belief that we can live our lives as a legacy. When you think, Who am I? How will I spend my day? what often gets lost is the initial understanding that you are either choosing or reacting.
Life can be all over the place. But what we have is choice.
Even in our darkest moments.
This leads me to another question I have been asking myself:
Can I be the same me whether something good or bad is happening?

THE FABRICS
Reclaimed cloth. Built for decades.
Matthew sources every fabric himself.
MODAL
The one you reach for without thinking. Cool to the touch, impossibly soft, and made to last, modal never pills and always breathes. Our quiet staple for the long days and the longer flights.
COTTON
Honest and easy, in denim, French terry, and the blends between. Naturally breathable and made for the in-between hours. The thing you pull on for the drive, the errand, the early start, and forget you are wearing at all.
LINEN
Summer, folded into cloth. Lightweight and open-weave, linen carries the warm months with ease and a little well-earned wrinkle. For slow afternoons, salt air, and anywhere the heat asks you to slow down.
SILK
Timeless, and never trying to be. Soft, light, and quietly elegant, the piece you dress up or dress down and keep for years. A little ceremony you can fold into a pocket.
FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WEAR THEM
They came for the scarf. They stayed for how it felt.
I read all of them. Sometimes I write back. Always I keep them.

Matthew, the scarf arrived on a Tuesday and I sat down on the kitchen floor and cried. The right amount of cried, the kind that lets you exhale.
Thank you for making this.

Could not be happier with every piece I've purchased. The fleece is the absolute highest quality I've ever seen.

I bought the Mojave for my grandmother. She's 86. She wears it every morning with her tea now. She told me it feels like a hug from someone she doesn't know yet.

Late Sunday Afternoon is the only brand I follow like a magazine. The letters are the best part. (The scarves are very good too.)
