It is believed that true talent does not lie in doing different things, but in doing things differently. Patrick Matamoros is an entrepreneur who has certainly shown this talent, having mastered the art of collecting some of the rarest vintage t-shirts around and curating them to the biggest stars in the music industry.

Matamoros firmly believes that every vintage t-shirt has been through an inexplicable journey over the years. His job is to help his clients appreciate the story behind each vintage tee, a notion that truly transcends tangible value. Patrick explained further, “It’s not just a vintage t-shirt, it’s a journey, it has a story to tell, and that’s what simply leaves me spellbound. It is an invaluable attire, one worth admiring.” Having worked with celebrities like Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Rhianna and the Kardashians, Patrick considers himself somewhat of a curator of stories, ones that are intricately threaded into the vintage t-shirts that he offers.

Patrick is a self-made man, having arrived in New York 20 years ago. He worked as an intern chef and dabbled in set designing, soon realizing regular jobs were far too mundane for him. He decided to experiment with his own business and turn his personal collection of vintage t-shirts into a business, setting up shop at a street corner in the big apple. Eventually people were drawn to him for his ability to find some of the rarest and most interesting vintage t-shirts in the world. Today, the biggest names in Hollywood have his number on speed dial, reaching out to him whenever they want to wear something that is truly unique. Patrick added, “I don’t like being the centre of attention. I just stuck to my craft and continued doing what I love most, delivering nothing but the best to each of my clients, and here I am today.”

Patrick’s journey to success was hard earned, and completely organic in nature. Despite the fact that he has never really advertised his services, he has become highly sought after in the realm of Hollywood. His reputation grew steadily, as one client that he worked with referred him to another. Today, he prefers to not get tied down to one place, and therefore refers to open an official store. Instead he spends his time traveling, meeting interesting people and finding vintage tees that nobody else can.

Though Patrick is always focused on his work, he always makes time for his family, especially his two and a half year old son, De Los Santos Luis. Patrick named his brand Saint Luis, after his son. While Hollywood’s glitterati keep Patrick extremely busy, he makes sure he has plenty of time to be a good father.

Patrick’s journey is a shining example of how true passion can help you reach the greatest of heights. Today, Patrick isn’t just selling products, he’s helping people understand the true value of vintage tees. When Hollywood celebrities want to look their best and find something that reflects their personality, they know Patrick has them covered.
