While face masks are culturally common in the East, they have generally been stigmatized in the West. But “face mask culture” is rooted in history when their use became common in Japan during the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918. Once again, we find ourselves faced with a global pandemic and the need for proper protection to prevent or limit the spread is greater than ever. MetaFactory has teamed up with artists to offer a series of custom designed face masks.

For every one purchased, we will be donating one to MASK-MATCH.COM  in order to keep our communities covered.

The masks are made in the USA from an anti-microbial, moisture-wicking fabric and non-toxic inks.
They are not medical-grade respirators.

We believe that the value of face masks extend beyond health into personal safety and privacy. Their use throughout history as a means of protection is well documented. While unnecessary for fear of any physical danger, masks today act as a social firewall. They provide privacy in an era when we are increasingly under surveillance. They allow the person wearing to choose their level of engagement and protect themselves, as well as others.

With Love,
