Matt & Nat Aviator Bag

THE ASKMEN TAKE

This vegan leather bag -- yes, vegan -- is constructed of a pool-polyurethane textile with a matching faux-suede lining derived from recycled plastic bottles. The exterior pockets have zip closures with one small snap pocket on the rear. The interior pockets are designed for the modern man to carry cell phones and PDAs, each with its own spot. A detachable shoulder strap is included for those trips when you’re carrying more than one bag, but you’ll want to use the Aviator for more than just travel. It's simply too perfect to leave on the closet shelf waiting for your next holiday.

UNIQUENESS

Devoid of animal products in its construction, the Matt & Nat Aviator bag is a prime example of what a fashion house can do when they stick to their guiding principles of blending art, architecture and modern fashion sensibility with vegan and recycled materials. While others rely on the old methods that drain natural resources, Matt & Nat have made it a point to challenge its design teams to break new ground, and the look of the Aviator is just one example of their growing success in the nature-friendly fashion world.

DURABILITY

The black or gray vegan leather design of the Matt & Nat Aviator bag is the future of fashion without being pretentious or unruly. The Montreal-based company continues to push its customers to think about what can be used to create high-end fashion, with the use of recycled plastic bottles to create a nylon collection one year and 100% recycled faux suede this year in the creation of the Aviator bag. Sometimes fashion can change the world.
