GUNAS was established in 2009 to raise awareness on animal abuse and environmental disasters of manufacturing real leather products. Our main aim has always been on exploring sustainable materials and ethical production of vegan leather bags, shoes, and clean beauty.

Our products are free of any animal ingredient or animal-derived ingredients. We are the first and only vegan bag brand in the US to hold exclusive rights to Mulbtex, a 100% eco-friendly material made with mulberry plant leaves. All our products are made ethically in a sweatshop-free environment.

GUNAS is a PETA-approved vegan leather brand manufacturing very high-quality vegan luxury handbags, crossbody bags, tote bags, and many others. We have recently started manufacturing vegan leather shoes and vegan clean beauty products.

Our bags & handbags are used in Netflix shows and often endorsed by celebrities promoting veganism. In an endeavor to raise awareness on animal welfare, we have also partnered with many animal welfare and rescue organizations. We believe our efforts will one day bring a change, and instead of animal leather, we will see every consumer shift to vegan bags.

OUR STORY

HIGH FASHION . ZERO CRUELTY

GUNAS is an independent high fashion label with a cause! Started in 2009 by designer and animal lover, Sugandh G. Agrawal, GUNAS’s heart and soul screams to be the voice of animals. With an award winning design and business background, Sugandh quit her 7-year corporate career as an Industrial designer at KitchenAid to start her own brand of cruelty-free fashion in New York. Her mission is strong and clear. Animals are NOT meant to be a part of fashion. We can look and feel good without harming other living beings. We need to connect our selves with what goes on behind the scenes and question our actions and their impacts.

What initially began as an all MADE IN NYC label, has now gone global to source and manufacture bags and shoes using artisan and small-scale ethical manufacturers from countries such as India, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil and Hong Kong. With styles ranging from totes, satchels, cross-body bags, wallets and backpacks GUNAS has a bag to suit your every mood and lifestyle need.

WHY VEGAN

Veganism is a lifestyle choice that’s all about protecting animals by avoiding the use of objects made from animals, animal by-products or using animal testing. Let’s just understand that Leather is “not”a by-product of the meat industry. Raising animals for food and leather requires huge amounts of feed, pasture land, water, and fossil fuels. Turning skin into leather requires massive amounts of energy and dangerous chemicals, including mineral salts, formaldehyde, coal-tar derivatives, and various oils, dyes, and finishes, many of them cyanide-based.

Most leathers are chrome-tanned, a lot of which gets washed away into our fresh water supplies during the process of making leather. People who work in tanneries or live close by often suffer from cancer, lung damage caused by exposure to toxic chemicals used to process and dye the leather. “Non-leather” alternatives account for only a fraction of petroleum used in contrast to leather.

Leather not only causes suffering for the animals but also causes harm to our environment, the people that produce it and also those who choose to wear it.
