The company

Inspired by the love for modernity and sophistication GUNAS was established in 2009 by CoFounder and Designer, Sugandh. She made her debut in 2010 during New York Fashion Week with a 10 style collection and received a tremendous response from the Fashion experts for her distinct look and uniqueness. Her multicultural upbringing fused with her core background as an Industrial Designer brings home that refreshing look that is futuristic, bold and ultra stylish.

What adds to the uniqueness of these bags?

A progressive approach to their construction and use of modern eco-materials. The bags are constructed using a combination of specialty manmade fabrics that lend to the lightweight and structured look, adding years to the life of your special bag.  Custom hardware, Italian zippers and attention to every detail add a seductive flair that takes the brand beyond its time. The fabrics we use meet at least one of the following criteria:

- GREENGUARD® Certified
- LEED Certified
- Oeko Tex Standard Certified
- Cradle to Cradle Certified
- AZO Free Certified
- REACH Compliant
- Made in Green® Label
- Contain Recycled content

In a study conducted by the Center for Environmental Health in 2009, generic faux leather handbags found at many known retailers such as Macy’s, Target, Walmart, JC Penny were in serious violation of the California law due to the high level of lead and other hazardous chemical content in them. Most of these are found in the inks, dyes and hardware and have been known causes for cancer, infertility and heart problems. At GUNAS we not only use Lead/Nickel free hardware but also fabrics that are safer and better quality.

We are committed to our goal of providing  our customers with an animal / environment friendly product.  We are constantly researching new materials and processes that help us meet this objective.
