Where every shirt tells a story, and every story starts with a spark.
No, we’re not a real motel. But if we were, we’d be the kind where you'd check in solo and leave in love. With a stranger. With the sunset. With yourself.
Meet Cute Motel is a fictional roadside stay turned lifestyle brand: born out of a lifelong love of romantic comedies, vintage aesthetics, pop culture, and the magical moments that haven’t happened yet (but might just be around the corner).
We make nostalgic, cheeky, and sometimes downright flirty pieces: Graphic tees. Sassy trucker hats. Gift-shop-style accessories that feel like souvenirs from a life you’re about to live.
Inspired by:
🎬 Films, TV shows, and music that made you feel something
🛣️ Small towns, desert drives, and motel neon
💌 Pop culture, past and present
💔 All the times you’ve been burned, but still believed in love anyway
This brand is for the romantics who wear their heart on their sleeve and their words on their tees.
For the emotionally available. The pop-culture fluent. The girls who text their friends “I think he's the one” even when he's definitely not.

WHAT'S A MEET CUTE?
That scene-stealing movie moment when two characters cross paths in a funny, charming, or totally unexpected way... and everything shifts. Maybe someone drops their groceries. Maybe they reach for the same vinyl. Maybe it’s fate...or maybe it’s just a damn good story. Either way, you’ll remember it.
Our Story
I’m McKenzie, the founder and heart behind Meet Cute Motel.
This brand started as a daydream: an imaginary motel set somewhere between a Western and a rom-com, with merch that looks like something you'd steal off the dresser in Room 7. As a writer, designer, and movie lover with a soft spot for the “what ifs,” I wanted to create pieces that feel like a wink from across the room. A scene waiting to happen. A moment already in motion.

I’ve spent the last decade building brands for other people. Now, I’m building the one I always wished existed.
