Matt and Nat Made My Christmas

For those of you that have never heard of Matt and Nat, where have you been?

Just kidding. But seriously, they make some of the kewlest vegan bags around. I was lucky enough to buy my first Matt and Nat bag at Ahimsa Footwear in Denver, Colorado about 6 months ago. Matt and Nat have been featured in Oprah’s magazine and on Ellen and probably a gazillion other places. Their bags are not only SO AWESOMELY vegan … they are very, very kewl looking.

My husband – although still a meat eater – wins the best husband on earth award this Christmas because he was so considerate of my vegan lifestyle that he totally and shamelessly spoiled me with three (yes three!) Matt and Nat bags. I just can’t believe my luck even as I type this.

I am now the proud owner of (drum roll please…)

• A black Kali bag,
• A silver Sade clutch, and
• A beautiful silver Chi wallet.

While at first glance you might think these bags are a bit pricey, I assure you they are a fabulous discount compare to my former Coach fetish. They are surprisingly durable like Coach and yet lighter to carry around. Can you believe that Coach has started using python in their bags? As if baby cow skin wasn’t enough. Geesh. Yet when I go to the mall it seems like every chick there has one of those patchy Coach bags or a Louis Vuitton. I want to yell at them … hey why don’t you do everybody a favor and go buy a Matt and Nat bag? Better for the cows (or snakes as the case may be), better for the environment, and better for humanity.

At least now when I walk proudly through the mall or any other place people will see my beautiful Matt and Nat collection – ok well I probably won’t wear all of them at one time – and ogle over my fine vegan goods. And I’ll proudly say that no animals or people were harmed in the process of making these gorgeous bags! I invite you to try one too, www.mattandnat.com.
