Some of you may already be vegan, some may be considering trying it out this month, others may just prefer to avoid leather goods as best they can…and you’ll all want to get in on this Matt & Nat sale. You read that right: MATT & NAT is offering an extra 10% off their sale [...]

Note to self:  Christmas is not about you.  Admit that you’re defeated by consumerism and move on. — Today is hard. Beyond the Rack is having a sale on MATT & NAT handbags AND belts.  I hate Beyond the Rack.  Their orders take about sixteen years to get to me, because of some ridiculous roundabout [...]

I both love and dread Father’s Day. My dad’s such a cool guy: he went from a mechanic to a top sales guy, from teaching SCUBA diving to owning his own business, from childhood dreams to being a part-time cop who spends weekends at car shows…and he’s done it all by breaking the rules of [...]

It looks like I’m not the only one who’s celebrating Earth Day with renewed fervor this year.  My favorite (and oft-mentioned) sample site, Gilt.com, is celebrating with me: Everyone looks good in green and to celebrate Gilt Groupe will be offering a unique Earth Day celebration sale this Thursday, April 22nd with a portion of [...]

With the rainy season having begun in Seattle (and likely continuing on ’til June) I’ve begun to pull out of my monochrome phase.  While playing around online this week, my eye kept going to all things bright.  Give me color! MATT & NAT Yacht Studded Bag: $215 It may be prohibitively costly (for me, anyway) [...]

I’m trying to stay away from making regular “sample sale” posts, because as more and more companies go green, more of them offer their items up to places like Gilt, Beyond the Rack, Ideeli and Hautelook…and if I posted about all of the sustainable sales those sites provide, that’s all I’d post. However, when I [...]

Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – whether or not they fit my style, budget, or even my ever-changing mood.  Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, be it eco-, socio- or independently-friendly. MATT AND NAT Magenta Fifty Five: $250 I’m just now getting [...]

Here we go again!  There are two more sustainable sales going on at Gilt’s deep-discount sister site, Gilt Fuse, just one day before Thanksgiving.  If you don’t already have too much on your plate, add these to your schedule so you can get a little more holiday shopping done before the food coma sets in.  [...]

We’ve seen a lot of sample sales on natural beauty these past few weeks, but what I’ve really missed are the sales on sustainable fashion.  I need eco-luxury when I’m out of the shower, too, you know. Apparently, Gilt received my telepathic messages, because their budget-conscious site, Gilt Fuse, is having a sale on vegan handbag designer [...]

A couple of weeks ago – before I found out that I’ve got money to save for moving deposits (ugh) – I picked up a vegan leather wallet by MATT & NAT from Gilt.com.  In case you missed the sale, here are the specs: “Black vegan leather wallet with 100% recycled grey nylon lining, tone [...]
