'Smart EcoStyle of the Week' was a category I added a couple of months after launching TheSmartStylist.com. I saw this as an opportunity to increase awareness of eco-fabulous and eco-chic fashion, shoes and accessories. My way of helping the green revolution.

I have to admit my knowledge of eco-friendly fashion was limited. But with the daily research on the latest trends in eco-fashion, I gained vast knowledge on labor practices and sustainable materials used to make earth friendly merchandise. I also came to appreciate all the efforts designers and manufacturers do to help save mother earth one organic dress at a time.

Here are The Smart Stylist's Best Ecofashion of 2008:

Leather-like eco-friendly handbags are perhaps the most limited items in the market today. This is due to limited raw and recyclable materials and possibly manufacturers are aware that faux leather handbags are and can be a hard sell. Since most handbags that are supposed to replicate leather or suede are not as fashionable as we want them to be.

Matt & Nat is a brand of eco-friendly handbags that comes to mind which in my opinion is in the forefront of innovative technology and unique style.

A friend of mine recently bought one of their handbags from the Japanese Paper Collection. And was very impress!

The vegan leather which is 100% Polyester looks and feels like the real thing. I was skeptical at first, thinking that she was just pulling my leg. The handbag is very chic and finding out it was eco-friendly was an added surprise.

Keep up the fabulous work Matt & Nat!
