About Matt & Nat
Matt & Nat is a brand that stands at the intersection of material and nature, which is reflected in its very name. Founded in 1995 in Montreal, the brand has been driven by a simple motto: "live beautifully". This philosophy is a celebration of creativity, positivity, and the beauty found in every individual. The brand's commitment to not using leather or any other animal-based materials in their designs is a testament to their dedication to social responsibility and love for nature.
From the beginning, Matt & Nat has been exploring innovative ways to remain sustainable and eco-friendly while still delivering high-quality and timeless products. Their journey has seen them experiment with a variety of recycled materials such as nylons, cardboard, rubber, cork, and even windshield resins. A significant milestone in their sustainability journey was the decision in 2007 to use linings made solely of 100% recycled plastic bottles, a practice that continues today. This initiative allows them to recycle over 9 million plastic bottles annually in the manufacturing of their bags.
The brand's collections, which embody their core values of excellence, inclusiveness, integrity, authenticity, and love, have found a home in over 800 boutiques across Canada, the United States, the UK, Japan, Germany, and Australia. Matt & Nat's story is one of passion and awe for the world, a narrative that they continue to weave through each product they create, inviting their customers to partake in a lifestyle that is both ethical and stylish.
