Sample Sale Pick of the Day — Matt & Nat at RueLaLa
Today’s pick makes me want to sing that Fabolous (and yes, I spelled his name right) song, “Throw it in the bag.” The lyrics: forget the price on the tag, just throw it in the bag. (Okay he really doesn’t say “forget” either but I want to keep it clean).
But for only $99 (reg. $225) you really can forget the price and you’ll get to throw some social consciousness in the bag too. Matt & Nat bags are made from vegan leather and NO, that does not mean that the animals only ate vegetables. Vegan leather is an artifical alternative to traditional leather.
Who can wear it?
The woman that wants to be eco friendly. Here is a little more about Matt & Nat:
MATT & NAT’s 21 water bottle initiative has further stepped up our commitment to social responsibility and to the environment; all linings are made from recycled plastic water bottles. A message inside of each bag will let you know exactly how many bottles were recycled to produce your accessory.
For the Fall 2009 collection, there is one men’s collection (FEUTRE) and one women’s collection (SUEDE) where the shell is also made using recycled plastic water bottles—up to 55 for certain styles.
In 1991, Co-owner and Creative Director Inder Bedi was challenged by a mahatma to go vegetarian for thirty days. It was during this time that Inder devised the business plan for an eco/vegan fashion house. First written as a university project in 1995 and eventually launched as MATT & NAT.
By combining cutting edge fashion and social responsibility, a balance of opposites emerges, representing the duality of MATT & NAT’s soul.
