Matt & Nat (short for Material and Nature) started in 1995 in Montreal, Quebec. Sustainability and longevity are key drivers for Matt & Nat and they aim to design timeless pieces that you can use for years to come. While all the collections are designed by their team in Montreal, the manufacturing takes place overseas.
The company is known for using vegan and recycled materials, including cardboard, nylon, rubber, cork, and windshield resin. For example, all their handbag linings have been made from 100% recycled plastic bottles since 2007. Annually, the company uses over 9 million recycled plastic bottles.
You can shop for Matt & Nat collections online or in one of their stores in Canada.
