mattandnat.jpgTop quality faux-leather can sometimes be tougher and even nice to the touch than so-so "real" leather, and if avoiding animal products is something you consider to be a good thing, you can't get much better than Matt and Nat for first rate vegan accessories. You don't have to be a vegan to love this brand: it's got a style of its own that's distinctive and desirable in its own right, and just seems to keep going from strength to strength.

We haven't seen many new items from the small but consistently surprising brand recently, so I was excited to see they had a simply gorgeous new style available at Fashion Conscience. Made from soft black imitation leather with a perforated pattern and shiny gold hardware, it looks every bit as classy as the 'real' thing. I'm saving up my pennies now, because I think this could be THE autumn bag I'm looking for - and the vegan element essentially gives you more stylish, designer kit for your money.
