Matthew Marcel is a Seattle-based fashion and design brand founded in 2024 by Marcel Selemani, drawing inspiration from a deep family tradition of tailoring. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Marcel grew up watching his grandfather—an admired master tailor—turn fabric into garments that helped people feel confident and proud. Today, that same spirit of craftsmanship lives on through a modern menswear line built with care, precision, and style.
What makes Matthew Marcel stand out is its focus on high-quality materials, refined construction, and bold design details that feel both contemporary and timeless. The brand is rooted in the idea that great clothing is more than appearance—it’s the way it fits, the way it moves, and the confidence it gives the person wearing it. Each piece is designed with meticulous attention to detail, honoring the artistry behind every stitch while introducing fresh patterns and a distinctive point of view in men’s fashion.
Looking ahead, Matthew Marcel aims to grow its presence across the Pacific Northwest and reach a wider audience throughout the U.S. and Canada, while continuing to build a brand known for craftsmanship and strong identity. We’ve had the honor of getting to know the owner and collaborating through our small business network.
