I’t’s been said that a girl can never have too many bags. In fact, it’s one of my favorite accessories to shop for, which brings me to one brand which has established itself on the basis of one very current social trend: being eco-friendly. This company is Matt & Nat, which was founded in 1995 by a man named Inder Bedi. This brand mainly specializes in bags, for both men and women. What is special about this brand is that it prides itself in its vegan products. No animal byproducts whatsoever are used in the manufacturing process, and in fact,  each of the products are made of at least one recycled item! The lining of the bags, on average, are made of 21 recycled bottles. Based on the amount of bags made, that is a lot of recycling done. And it’s a wonderful way for our bottles to be reused. You’d think that as a byproduct of recycled items, it wouldn’t be very pretty right? Wrong! Here is an example of a couple of their products:

In my opinion, they look just as good, if not better, than purses made using other methods. The Matt & Nat bags have a certain elegance to it, which will draw a consumer’s attention.  Even their logo is simple! Personally, I have not seen many ads or promotions for this product. The brand retains its popularity through its reliability as a vegan brand and overall good quality. Their name is spread through households with the simple technique of word-of-mouth. While the pricing of these products are not in the lower end of the spectrum, consumers will know that they are paying a premium for the quality for these purses.

What a way to reduce your carbon footprint, eh?
