Here at Bag Bunch we're longtime fans of the eco-friendly handbags created by Matt & Nat. Now the creative mind behind the brand, Inder Bedi, has launched a new environmentally-friendly accessories line dubbed Samsara.
The unusual moniker is a Sanskrit word meaning rebirth. Samsara's development is clearly that, with the focus not just on eco-friendly fashions, but socially responsible ones.
All Samsara accessories are made from vegan leather with a lush pebbled texture. The collection is diverse, including spacious day bags, smaller clutches, practical wallets, and even belts. The accessories feature practical, yet sophisticated styling. With prices ranging between $40 and $155, they're also a little cheaper than Matt & Nat purses.
Samsara will also donate one dollar for every bag sold to a non-profit organization. The brand's profits will be shared between the international aid charity Enough, environmental group EarthSave, animal welfare organization WSPA, and the Canadian Women's Foundation. Public votes on the website will determine which charities receive the biggest share at the end of the year.

This is the Samasara version of Jorga line of Matt and Nat. This is nice too, but of course the quality you expect from Matt and Nat is missing here, even for the hardware. I hope they will make some changes if they want this line to succeed, donating a dollar for a good cause can only work for so long.
