Embedded within the fiber of Matiere is the belief that material leads design. Taken from the French word meaning “material” or “subject matter,” the brand’s global development of innovative fabrics drives its contemporary designs. Established in 2013, by founders Scot Shandalove and Henry Choi. The Los Angeles, CA based design lab is continuously evolving the seamless integration of form, function, and comfort into their sleek modern aesthetic with an understated yet refined point of view. The brands global research and development of luxury fabrics is achieved in partnership with world-class knitting mills, from the Wakayama Prefecture of Japan to the woven technical expertise found in the Italian Province of Como. This drives the brand's innovative collections combined with experimentation in textile dying and production treatments.
