What do you think, should I treat myself to any of these ethical pieces?

This mini spotlight on slow fashion brands includes ethical lingerie, sustainable swimwear, fair trade leggings, slow fashion socks, and a bamboo bralette or two.

I think that finding sustainable underwear can be one of the hardest parts of revamping your wardrobe, and 3 of these 5 ethical fashion brands can help with that!

My slow fashion favourites include pieces from...
Outdoor Voices - https://www.outdoorvoices.com/ 
Vitamin A Swimwear - https://www.vitaminaswim.com/
Nico Underwear - https://nicounderwear.com/
Anek. - https://anekdotboutique.com/
Mary Young - https://maryyoung.ca/

First I picked up a little pin with a big message: The Future Is Female

Next I replaced a bralette that was on its last legs with a triangle bamboo bralette from Base Range: http://www.baserange.net/product/triangle-bra-bamboo/

Matt & Nat Review

Matt & Nat is a Canadian company, established in Montreal in 1995.  Their name is from "material and nature" and their motto is "live beautifully”.

They are a committed vegan brand, using zero animal products in their designs.  They work hard to use sustainable and eco-friendly materials - that also happen to be high quality and gorgeous!

I own four pieces from their collection, and today I’m going to talk you through them and give you a peek!

Matt & Nat Vegan Bag Review // Chubby - Parabole - Dean - Tacoma // Plant Based Bride

The four items I own are:

Chubby Wallet $65 CAD (dwell collection)

Parabole SM $130 (vintage collection)

Dean Backpack $175 CAD (vintage collection)

Tacoma $210 (vintage collection)

Not only are the bags from Matt & Nat ethical, but they are eco-friendly and sustainable, too.  Since 2007 they have used linings that are 100% made from recycled plastic bottles.

Not only that, but they are incredibly transparent with their customers about the conditions in their factories in China.

I adore their minimal approach to design and lust after almost every piece they produce.  They mostly make bags and other small "leather" goods but have recently begun producing footwear as well (which I need on my feet high this very second).

Check out the video for details on each of the pieces I own and check out their website for absolutely delicious vegan bags!

(Not literally.  Don’t eat them, just wear them.)


Do you own anything from Matt & Nat?  What are your thoughts on it?
