On Topic, Off Script host, journalist Brian Mastroianni, sits down with Matriark founder Patricia Assui Reed.
A luxury retail, communications, and international PR consultant for Iguatemi Group, Patricia's career has included working with the likes of Tiffany & Co and Polo Ralph Lauren. In 2018, Patricia and her family made the move from Manhattan to Sag Harbor where she founded Matriark, a boutique selling high-end fashion, lifestyle and design products featuring women and LGBTQ+-led brands and businesses.
It was during that time when Patricia and Brian first connected when he profiled her for a Barron’s Penta article.
Flash forward to 2024 and Matriark has expanded beyond brick and mortar to become an online community, taking the ethos of the store to connect over 20,000 subscribers by way of The Matriark Newsletter. Written by Patricia herself, the free newsletter maintains its mission of supporting women and LGBTQ+-led brands, spotlighting issues and causes that impact its readers — defined by Matriark as 'stylish women with real lives.'
Brian sits down with Patricia to discuss all things Matriark, how this growing online hub reflects the future of retail, and why it’s important to highlight brands that have a voice and a conscience.
