They were one of the first companies to launch an eco-friendly fashion line of accessories - before it became trendy to be green! I really like this [vegan bag collection for men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porter-yoshida) (featured above) but Matt & Nat also make a wide range of cool accessories for men and women which you can buy online at mattandnat.com. The [100% vegan bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espe-1) are made from about 15-55 [recycled plastic bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials) which go into the material used to make their bags. And they don’t use any leather. This is the future of fashion, guys. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products by offering stylish and eco-conscious accessories made from recycled materials. - **Vegan Accessories:** The market for vegan bags and accessories is expanding, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion brands to meet the needs of conscious consumers seeking cruelty-free alternatives. - **Recycled Materials:** The use of recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, in fashion products provides an opportunity for companies to support environmental sustainability while creating unique and fashionable items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate eco-friendly and vegan designs to attract environmentally conscious consumers, driving growth in the sustainable fashion industry. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can expand its product offerings by focusing on vegan bag collections made from recycled materials, catering to the increasing demand for sustainable and cruelty-free options. - **Recycling:** Companies specializing in recycling can explore partnerships with fashion brands to provide a sustainable source of recycled materials, contributing to the circular economy and reducing waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [PETA-Approved Leather Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biodegradable-leather-alternative.md) - [Plastic-Free Circular Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-mccartney-3.md) - [Ethical Hemp-Derived Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofrico.md) - [Vegan Leather Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-leather-purses.md) - [Cruelty-Free Men's Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utilityinspired-mens-bags.md) - [Everyday Sustainable Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials.md) - [Eco-Friendly Functional Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex-duffle-collection.md) - [Celebratory Plant-Based Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porter-tanker.md) - [Stylish Cooler Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tote-cooler.md)
