About us
Every great collection begins with a passion.
The origin
Football was more than just a game.
For founder Jochen, this passion began on the football pitches of a small town in the middle of Germany. Football there was more than just a game – it was community, identity and a place where people came together to create shared memories. The fascination for the sport and its stories accompanied him from childhood.
Many years later he met a collector whose extraordinary collection of historic sports memorabilia left a lasting impression. Among original worn shirts, rare collector's items and unique witnesses of sport, a realisation emerged: behind every one of these objects lies a story worth preserving and telling.
Matchworn shirts in particular remain fascinating to this day. They are far more than just textiles – they are authentic testimonies of great football moments. They were worn when goals were scored, records were broken and history was written.
“Behind every one of these objects lies a story worth preserving and telling.”

The brand
