Marvling Bros Ltd.

Luxury, Love and Laughter In Every Matchbox

Marvling Bros Ltd was established March 2013 by Emma Dobie and Hayley Madden.The initial idea was to produce the ultimate token present and rid the world of gifts given out of guilt, gifts given out of obligation and, saddest of all, unwanted gifts.

They produced a range of ‘experiences’ in matchboxes, each was created to contain something that could be shared which did not take up too much time, a rare or unusual item that had to be used up and information to enhance the experience.

The matchboxes were also used as vehicle to promote the idea of reducing packaging, reducing clutter and proving that a special present did not necessarily mean expensive, big or time consuming and that it is not only the thought that counts, but the thinking that goes into the thought. .

Since then the matchboxes have sold over 200,000 units, appeared on Good Morning TV, won awards, enhanced all sorts of occasions from cocktail parties in Hong Kong to exhibitions at the O2, London.
