Matt & Nat is a Canadian brand that makes a variety of cruelty-free bags, footwear and accessories, and it is now launching its first-ever vegan outerwear collection—just in time for the start of the fall and winter season. The collection is full of coats and jackets that avoid the use of any animal-derived materials to create warmth.
Some of the styles in the brand's outerwear range include wool-free coats and puffer jackets that are made without goose down—when it comes to keeping Canadians warm, the GIADA Puffer Jacket uses only 100% recycled polyester and 100% polyester fill, plus plenty of cozy details like a full-coverage collar, spacious pockets and quilting.
The collection also includes stylish vegan leather jackets that also incorporate recycled polyester materials.
