Bag it With Matt & Nat
We’re positively growing to be bigger fans of cute non-leather bags, satchels and wallets made by Canada duo, Matt & Nat.
It’s hard not to be in a good mood when you’ve got a bag this cool/functional slung over your shoulder or a wallet/pouch this soft and organizable tucked inside your pocket. First, Matt & Nat products are guilt-free (as long as you tell your significant other that you’ve worked a little splurge into your monthly budget) in that they’re an animal-free company, meaning that the “leather” they employ is synthetic, but Matt & Nat gear doesn’t look or feel anything like the cheap sofa sitting in your grandpa’s den.
Better yet, they’re durable (Maeve has a wallet she’s been carrying around for 2+ years that still looks brand-spanking-new) and they come packed with with an inspirational punch. Each purse is lined with a “positivity message”–something like, “choose life choose positivity choose the golden rule choose to be at peace with yourself choose to be a rebel choose to be funky”–a nice reminder for the average woman on-the-go.
Some of our favorite pieces from the online store include youthful “Sabre Tooth” wallets and a fun “Trench” satchel. Around here, you can pick up Matt & Nat goodies at Hip & Humble (1043 E. 900 South) in Salt Lake, and Mary Jane’s (613 Main St.) in Park City.
You can be prepared for some feel-good shopping.

Matt & Nat are not a Canadian duo – rather, the name refers to a balance between male and female (similar to yin and yang) which the designer of the line, Inder Bedi, uses as a part of his design principle. He is Canadian though, and they are beautiful bags!

I bought the green Mat & Nat sabretooth wallet about three years ago and I’m still in love with it! It’s in great condition, except for the zipper tag, which wore down and eventually fell off a few weeks ago. It holds a TON of stuff (receipts you forget to take out, hair clips, a flash drive…) and looks great if you carry it without a purse.
