These framed posters were originally mid to late-20th-century matchbox labels, largely from the Old Eastern Europe and Russia. They have been digitally enhanced to a scale for all to enjoy. Used as an effective means of bygone commercial advertising in the days before modern media.

Founder, Jenny Lindop progressed from a long career in fashion working for Whistles and Pringle of Scotland, amongst others, to become an interior design consultant. Whilst sourcing products for an interior project she unearthed some beautiful vintage matchbox labels which ultimately inspired the curation of the current collection.

Mix and match designs. Top tip: they look best in twos or threes!
