A Letter from the Founder
"Dear visitor,
I discovered pickleball a while back, when living in Asia. What struck me right away was how fun it is to learn, how social the game feel, and how playful yet intense it is. It really is more than just a sport — it is a way to connect with people and enjoy movement in a lighthearted, energetic way.
When I returned to Switzerland, I wanted to carry that feeling with me. That’s how Matchwear was born, right here at my creative nest Studio Baidenmann in the Zürich area.
My idea was simple: to design sportswear that feel good to wear, perform well on the court, and reflect the approachable, joyful spirit of pickleball.
Matchwear isn’t about trends or over complication — it’s about making something honest, practical, and fun for people who love Pickleball. But also, I am passionate to share my "Winning redefined" vision and how we fuel the Matchwear brand as a Positive Mindset sportsbrand. You can read more about this here.I can talk much more about my WHY`s and HOW`s but will leave you with links if you like to know more. Our ideology, Matchwear. Swiss design
For now, thank you for being here and for sharing in this journey. With your support, we envision growing our brand into the global standard for pickleball sportswear. We’re here for it!”
