It’s important for us not to use leather. Simply put, we don’t like hurting animals and we deeply care about the welfare of the planet. Our collections are all designed by our close-knit team in Montreal, Quebec.
Living beautifully means appreciating the humanity, creativity and positivity found in all of us.
Our values include social responsibility, excellence, inclusiveness, integrity, learning, authenticity and, of course, love. We are inspired by the textures and hues of nature and, to better protect it, we aim to constantly better our ways.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
A variety of high quality vegan materials are used in the creation of our products. PU (polyurethane) is a biodegradable material, making it less harmful to our planet. We are proud to say that we have fully transitioned our Women’s Dwell collection which was previously made from PVC to PVB. This means that the collection is fully recycled, with the exception of the hardware.
Having a sustainable product is very important to us. Our pieces are not made to last a season but are intended to be a part of your wardrobe for many years. That is why we perform several quality control tests on all new materials and styles for each season.
This is just the start for us and we are working hard to become fully sustainable by 2023. We embrace that we may not be perfect but it takes all of us to make small changes imperfectly to make a greater change globally.
SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Building personal relationships with each of our factories is important to us. Our CEO visits each factory 2-3 times a year and makes it a point to build strong bonds with the factory owners; they too are a part of the MATT & NAT family.
We also have employed local managers who monitor our factories on a more frequent basic on our behalf to make ensure all operations are ethical. We make sure that while we provide you with a quality product, the conditions of the workers developing it are up to par with our standards. Audits are conducted twice a year to ensure there is no use of child labour, wages are fair and a clean workspace is offered to all of our workers.
We are proud to say that one of our factories operates by the SA8000 standard, which ensures quality work conditions for all. We hope to make the latter a bigger part of our production in the future.
