CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Charleston-based studio turns tiny matchbooks into museum-worthy, nostalgia-filled wall art perfect for anniversaries, holidays, and travel memories
Matchbox City Prints, a Charleston-based art studio specializing in matchbook wall art, today announced the expansion of what it bills as the largest selection of framed matchbook prints available online. Each piece in the collection is built from meticulously photographed matchbooks, celebrating beloved restaurants, bars, hotels, and destinations across the country making them a perfect gift for anniversaries, holidays, and preserving travel memories.
Founded by Susan Roukous (@sus_sea) in Charleston, South Carolina, Matchbox City Prints was born from a passion for preserving the charm of iconic places through high-end matchbook photography. What began as a personal hobby has grown into a fast-rising small business with city-inspired collections, wedding keepsakes, and custom designs that have earned enthusiastic reviews for quality and value.
"Our goal is to turn your favorite nights out and special trips into art you can live with every day," said Susan, founder of Matchbox City Prints. "Every matchbook is carefully sourced, individually photographed in high resolution, and thoughtfully arranged so the final framed print feels like a visual diary of the places you love."
Meticulously Photographed, Museum-Quality Presentation
Every print begins with a dedicated photography process:
- Each vintage or modern matchbook is cleaned, styled, and photographed one by one to capture its typography, color, and patina.
- Images are edited for clarity and consistency before being composed into city, neighborhood, or theme-based layouts.
- The final artwork is printed on premium paper and professionally framed in the USA, creating a ready-to-hang piece that sits comfortably alongside other gallery wall staples.
This meticulous approach ensures that even the smallest details foil stamping, worn corners, or iconic logos read clearly from across the room while still rewarding close-up viewing.
