Archive for the ‘Handbag recycling program’ Category

Something that plagues us is what happens with our products at the end of their lives.

So what better way to recycle our bags than to give them a new life?

By donating your gently-used, nearly-new MATT & NAT bag directly to one of our partner organizations, you are creating a new lifecycle for the bag. Each bag will go to someone worthy who is working hard to better their life and gain some economic independence. Saving the environment and helping to end the cycle of poverty. Can you get better than that?

We don’t think so.

We encourage you to check back regularly; we will be adding new partner organizations all the time. For now, the program spans North America, but we plan to take it global.
The ultimate goal: wherever a MATT & NAT bag is sold, it can be recycled.

If you know of any worthy organizations, send us an email at donations@mattandnat.com

What They Do: This international organization promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Upon a woman’s first visit, she receives a career suit and related accessories. After landing a job, she may return for additional clothing, providing the foundation for a professional wardrobe.

How You Can Help: In addition to monetary donations, Dress for Success accepts new and nearly-new professional attire, related separates and accessories. Think about what you would wear to an interview for direction.
