Matt and Nat is a brand that's made a name for itself by producing an assortment of bags, wallets and accessories of premium vegan leather—just recently, the Canadian brand unveiled its vegan shoe collection.
The shoes are made with sustainable materials that serve to complement the many other accessories that are produced. The three main styles include: sandals, sneakers and oxfords that come in multiple colorways, as well as shapes and sizes for both men and women.
The release of this cruelty-free footwear collection is in line with a movement where many companies, designers and consumers are rejecting the use of animal-based materials. As an alternative synthetic materials are on the rise and are being branded as more Earth-conscious with labels like "vegan leather."
