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.

"I knot and I bless
so that you may learn
to bless yourself."

— MATTHEW

  1. KNOT NO. 01

    I. Love

    The first knot. Without it, nothing else holds. I tie this one slowest.

  2. KNOT NO. 02

    II. Happiness

    Not the surface kind — the kind that stays when things go hard. I knot it tight.

  3. KNOT NO. 03

    III. Adventure

    A reminder that you were made for more than staying still. This one I say out loud.

  4. 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.

— Matthew

Give Yourself
A Little Grace

Last year was my first Father's Day as a dad of two. It was a difficult day. An employee couldn't open the store, so I spent the day working when I had imagined being with my family. At the time, it felt unfair.

Looking back, it feels like a perfect metaphor for fatherhood itself: life rarely unfolds the way we imagine, and yet we are still asked to show up.

Since then, I have kept my nose down. Building. Creating. Growing. Not just a business, but a family, a marriage, and a relationship with myself. The amount you learn from having children is astonishing. They reveal your strengths, your limitations, your patience, your impatience, your capacity to love, and every wound you thought you had already healed.

There is a grief that comes with parenthood. A quiet letting go of the years when only you mattered. The years when your needs sat at the center of the story.

Lately, I have found myself coming full circle with a realization that feels both simple and profound: in order to be the best father, I have to be the best Matthew.

ON MAKING · NO. 02

Watch me make one.

The studio at 1920 Lincoln has one north-facing window. Every scarf passes through it — laid flat against the light, checked for evenness, then knotted by hand.

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.

    I'm purchasing my 12th scarf. They are soft, comfortable and can be worn year round. They are beautiful.

    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.)
