World Vegan Day is an annual event
celebrated on the 1st November, so it seemed natural that vegan
brand Matt and Nat were under the WSd spotlight this week.
By focusing on the relationship between Mat(t)erial and Nature, this brand encompasses the beauty of the natural world and
the way in which this can be translated into the world of accessories.
Matt and Nat endorse a simple ethos…to live
beautifully. Their primary inspiration is nature, so their primary goal is to
protect it. Their part in this safeguarding is their commitment to not use
leather… “Simply put, we don’t like hurting animals and we care about the
welfare of the planet”.
“This must be leather” is a sentence that
can often be heard when one of our gorgeous customers sets their eyes and hands
on a sumptuous Matt and Nat bag. The bags may have the texture and appearance
of a leather piece, yet come without the ethical implications of the material.
Instead, they are made from materials such as recycled nylons, cardboard,
rubber and cork. The bag linings are made out of 100% recycled plastic bottles
and the brand has recently introduced recycled bicycle tyres into their
collections. As if treating yourself to a new bag didn’t give you enough joy
already, purchasing a Matt and Nat piece will send pleasure levels rocketing!
Before any doubt begins to wander into your
mind, fear not, quality has not been compromised. These bags are up there in
the luxe stakes, oozing splendid simplicity with a minimalist yet beautiful
embossed logo reflecting all that this brand is.
WSd has a fab selection of Matt and Nat
gems in store in an array of colours and styles. Resembling Narnia with its
stylish abilities to hold all of life’s daily essentials, Sarah’s coveted Triplets wallet (£65) is still her
ultimate fave. This season its been updated and comes with a long body strap
option. Available in navy, berry and black, this compartment wallet is ultra
functional, transitional and, obviously gorgeous.
The stunning Malone (£95) Doctor style bag is the perfect everyday handbag. With
a removable crossbody strap, it will work for any occasion and take you from
the office to the bar…!
We have a fab collection of Matt and Nat
purses in store too and with colours including ‘Bordeaux’ ‘Cocoa’ ‘Macaroon’
and ‘Fig’ you’ll feel like you’re in a grown up sweet shop, desperately deliberating
the delights before you. Prices range from £35 to £55.
Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for
that special someone who has it all? You can’t go wrong with a Matt and Nat
iPad sleeve, available in a bevy of sumptuous shades.
As beautiful in its appearance as it is its
name, the Alaya (£75) is a fold-over
crossbody that can also be used as a clutch. This wonder if definitely on the
Christmas list!
