Yes. Everything on this site is a real, functioning object designed by Matty Benedetto, made in small limited runs. When a run sells out, it may not come back.

Runs are limited by design. Some items return; many don't. The product page is the source of truth, and the email list hears about restocks and new drops first.

Pre-orders are tied to an upcoming production run. The estimated ship date is on the product page and at checkout. If a run slips, we'll email you rather than leave you guessing.

Items like the Intersection Opener ship as a mystery — you know the product, not which variant you'll pull. No swaps on blind-box pulls. That's the fun part.

Burlington, Vermont, USA. A real person packs every order, Monday through Friday.

In-stock orders usually leave our Vermont studio within 1–2 business days. After dispatch, delivery is estimated at 2–7 business days in the US and 6–14 business days internationally. Customs and carrier delays can add time. US orders of $50 USD or more ship free. Read the full shipping policy.

Yes, we ship worldwide. Orders to most destinations ship with duties paid (DDP) — the total at checkout is the final total, nothing extra at your door. Orders to a small number of destinations ship with duties unpaid, and checkout tells you up front when that applies.

You'll get a confirmation email when you order and a tracking link the moment it ships. Give tracking 24–48 hours to start updating — carriers are slow to wake up.

You have 30 days after delivery to request a return. Items must be unworn or unused, with tags and their original packaging, and you’ll need proof of purchase. Email support@thatwasmadebymatty.com for approval before sending anything back. MATTY covers the approved return shipping label. Sale items, gift cards, and custom or personalized orders are excluded. See the full return policy for eligibility, refund timing, and the EU 14-day cooling-off terms.

Inspect your order when it lands and contact us immediately with a photo. If it's defective, damaged, or the wrong item, we'll make it right.

Fastest path: return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, place a separate order for what you want.

Double-check your address at checkout — once an order ships, rerouting is nearly impossible. If you catch a mistake, email us fast and we'll try to grab it before it leaves Vermont.
