OUR STORY
Welcome to the world of MAtARi
'MATARI is an abbreviation of the word 'μαργαριτάρι | Margaritari' in Greek, meaning 'pearl'
At the heart of MATARI is Greek mythology; taking inspiration from its stories.
The first chapter
Imogen founded MATARI in the Summer of 2023. With a lifelong fascination with storytelling, starting with spending her childhood buried in books, to studying French and Spanish at Oxford University, and eventually leading her into the film industry. Stories have always been a big part of her life.
MATARI was founded with the goal of telling a story; creating pieces that reflect the different characters we inhabit through the clothing and jewellery we wear. MATARI takes inspiration from Greek Mythology, one of the earliest forms of storytelling, and reimagines it in modern day society, bringing its chaos and excitement to life. Pearls are used in MATARI designs to evoke the timeless and ethereal qualities of mythology.
Ultimately, MATARI aims to celebrate the joy and fun of discovering and expressing your personal style, recognising that it can evolve and change without definitions.
' I wanted to take something as classic as a pearl necklace and reinvigorate it. My aim is to create jewellery that feels unique. What you wear can completely inform your confidence. '

'Fun and intrigue is central to MATARI, including people that wear the jewellery rather than keeping a line between vendor and customer. '
