Matt & Nat

The idea behind MAT(T)ERIAL and NATURE originally came to life in 1995, in beautiful Montreal. They're passionate and in awe of the world that surrounds us. Being inspired by MAT(T)erial and NATure means exploring the synergy between the two, the reflection of one on the other.

Their values include social responsibility, excellence, inclusiveness, integrity, learning, authenticity and, of course, love. From the start, being committed to not using leather or any other animal-based materials in their designs felt natural to them. Each season, they continue to explore new innovative ways to remain sustainable and eco-friendly. Over the years, they’ve been experimenting with different recycled materials such as fruit skin fibres, recycled nylons, cardboard, rubber and cork. They have also recently introduced recycled bicycle tires and recycled car windscreens to their collections. They're committed to using linings only made out of 100% recycled plastic bottles. Approximately 21 plastic bottles are recycled for every bag they produce.
