The retail industry is dominated by fast fashion and mass-production brands, making it hard for shoppers who hope to shop ethically and find a sustainable brand to match their needs. MATT & NAT, a retail company founded in 1995, offers a great alternative to fast fashion by providing its shoppers with an environmentally friendly line of accessories.

Matt and Nat (meaning Material & Nature) are a 100% vegan & cruelty-free bag & accessories company based in Montreal, Canada.

MATT & NAT is most well-known for its line of stylish handbags, backpacks, and purses. In addition to bags, they offer footwear, sunglasses, outerwear, and an accessory line for men that includes briefcases among other items.

What makes MATT & NAT an eco-friendly brand is its use of recycled materials and vegan leather for all their products. The brand says that the decision to make its products 100% vegan instead of using animal leather was inspired by a UN report that stated that a vegan and vegetarian diet was better for the environment when considering the environmental impact of factory farming.

With the exterior of their purses, backpacks, and briefcases made completely of vegan materials, the interior linings are made from recycled plastic water bottles. “All our linings are made of 100% recycled bottles. Approximately 21 plastic bottles are recycled for every bag we produce.

With each passing year, they are committed to furthering their company’s sustainability goal, expanding and experimenting with different eco-friendly materials such as recycled nylons, cork, cardboard and, rubber.

The style of their products is also meant to be long-lasting. Their products are a simple and classic style, focusing more on neutral tones to maximize the ability to be worn on all occasions. These designs create a timeless style that can be used in a wide range of different styles and is popular among all age demographics.

Despite their continuously-growing success in the accessory and retail business, MATT & NAT has never strayed away from their goal of sustainability. Their company values which include social responsibility, inclusiveness, and excellence, have allowed them to create a brand that combines sustainability with quality. This focus that MATT & NAT places into creating their environmentally-friendly and stylish products are what makes them worthwhile.

Can you believe that Summer is almost over? I can’t and we are still working from home and now have to turn to Fall wear. Finding different ways to wear cute fall staples—whether they’re already in your wardrobe or pieces you’ve been eyeing this season—can totally feel like a difficult task. But pairing a top you used to wear every single day with something new you’ve just splurged on can be a fun way to refresh something you feel you’ve over-worn.  Take a risk, play with some new trends, mix some patterns, and have fun with your fall outfits this season.

I was so happy when I found Mododoc Los Angles and saw their Fall Collection. Mododoc is a truly contemporary, knit driven line with a mix of soft woven pieces. All pieces are soft, cozy, and sophisticated so that you can pair your outfits to dress up or down. Their materials are all about luxe hand feel at reasonable prices. It doesn’t have to break anyone’s bank to dress and feel luxurious. You can have the softest and nicest material without the overspending.

 

A sweater is a fall staple from year to year. It never goes out of style. Mododoc has the best selection that looks timeless. Just pair with their pants and heels and you are ready to go.

It all started with a desire to create the perfect tee shirt.  From there, we realized that being comfortable establishes a greater balance in life.
For that reason, we expanded into a lifestyle collection of casual yet polished pieces.  We offer clothing that reflects everyday elegance so that you feel good while living your life.

Eberjey-The Softest PJ’s that you can wear

I’ve always loved fancy pajama sets. I would always purchase a new pair for the holidays and my birthday. It was so exciting to into the store and check out all the new styles. That is why I was so happy to find Eberjey PJ Sets.

I originally saw these pajamas on a site that was showing sales items. I figured why not give them a try. The time had come to treat me to a pair of pajamas that not only felt nice, but looked nice too, and I was ready. Then Covid-19 hit and pajamas became more of a treasure on the days when I wanted to be extra comfortable while I work, but still, look good.

The Eberjey pajamas are surprisingly chic, soft, and classic. The lightweight modal jersey fabric feels like a second skin. It’s silky smooth and drapes elegantly over your body for a fit that’s cozy and flattering. The button-up front, breast pocket, and contrast piping give these pajamas a timeless look that makes these just as good for lounging around the house as for sleeping.

You can’t beat the variety. I have a long-sleeve top and pair of shorts in a navy color dotted with little white crescent moons — but you can find plenty of combinations, all made with the same luxe material. Choose from long-sleeve tops paired with pants or short-sleeved tops paired with shorts or pants, all in a range of over a dozen colors and patterns. Picking out the perfect pair is really just a matter of preference, so I couldn’t recommend one style over another — they all boast the same classic style and super comfy fabric.

Eberjey totally changed my perspective on fancy pajamas. Sure,  sweats are comfortable, but a nice pair of pajamas that look as good as they feel can make bedtime something worth celebrating. Light a candle, grab a book, or just turn on Netflix like you would any other night — chances are you’ll feel better doing it in these classy and supremely comfortable pajamas.
