There are so many factories in Europe
now producing beautiful polyurethane—
it’s vegan, and more biodegradable than
PVC. The quality is amazing. The look
is amazing. More and more companies
want to produce something great-looking
without harming animals.OUR ARCHITECTURAL
INFLUENCES
Whenever I travel, I take a lot of pictures—
I’m an architecture freak. We’re just
about to launch a new collection called
Studio 901. It’s a bit more luxury, and all
the pieces are based on the shapes and
lines of architecture.OUR CANADIAN EXPANSION
We just opened a store in Australia,
and one in Soho in New York. We’ve been
in the U.K. since 2004, and sales are
growing there. We’re also in Japan
and Germany. It’s very rewarding to be
a Canadian brand and see how we’re
expanding worldwide.THE NORDSTROM ADVANTAGE
When Nordstrom opened in Canada,
I was personally grateful—they have
great menswear! We’re also very proud
to have Matt & Nat at Nordstrom.
We’ve been partners for seven years and
our partnership is growing every year.OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Matt & Nat stands for “material and
nature.” We’re proud to be a vegan
company that produces beautiful,
contemporary accessories without
touching leather.
THE POWER OF ETHICAL
DESIGN
For about 10 years now, we’ve partnered
with an ethical factory in Taiwan to
create a lining for our bags. It’s made
from 100-per-cent recycled plastic
bottles. It looks amazing, and it’s
eco-friendly. Really, the whole market is
changing. In fact, the world is changing.
