Environmental and economical, just the combo we need right now! Just like Obama’s economical stimulus plan of going green and saving our bank account – except this plan gets you a super cute bag along the way =) I actually bought Matt & Nat bags for my vegetarian sister in-law and I was expecting to get a plastic-y and sticky faux-leather looking thing but these bags look really good. The design also helps, they are actually stylish instead of some bohemian, crochet, home-made pouch with yarn string straps. Seriously though, these are good enough regardless of your dietary choices – the Frugal Snob price tag and environmental conscious materials are icing on the cake. I like the metallic, it adds to the distraction of it being non-leather and the texture makes the silver look more expensive, for silver that is. Of course the black is always the safe choice to hide any limitations of synthetic and is obviously more practical. The asymmetrical zippers and tab details are super chic and the hobo shape is back (although it didn’t leave for very long). At Neiman Marcus for $240.
