Products Reviewed: GUNAS offers a range of styles and collections for men and women. We reviewed two of their most popular bags – the Sweetheart and Neon (picture above, left and right).

Original Price: Sweetheart: $199 and Neon: $275

About GUNAS: GUNAS is an exclusive, yet attainable luxury lifestyle brand defined by its progressive outlook towards fashion. It embodies the style and spirit of someone who not only loves fashion, but also takes deep interest in how their belongings are made. Every collection is bold and edgy, making a statement for those who want to differentiate themselves in a crowd. GUNAS bags are individually handcrafted in socially responsible factories around the globe. The brand strongly believes in conscious consumption and exclusivity, hence most of their bags are produced as Limited Editions.

All the bags are vegan, and are made with fabrics that meet at least one of the following criteria:

The One Green Planet Verdict: These bags are fun, bold, super-stylish, and extremely well-made. They materials are soft, yet sturdily constructed, and the high-quality hardware is made to last.

The Sweetheart bag (pictured above, left) is one of GUNAS’ most popular bags, and for good reason! This stylish bag is extremely soft, both inside and out, and has a look versatile enough for day or evening use. With two options for carrying (wrist or shoulder) and plenty of space for storing all the essentials, it’s also very practical!

The Neon purse (picture above, right) is another best-seller. The Neon is beautifully designed and accented – a winning combination of form and function. The dark, neutral navy pairs perfectly with a few pops of orange and bright blue – just enough to make it stand out! The Neon also has two carrying options for maximum versatility. Structured yet soft, this midsize purse is great for everyday use.

GUNAS also sent us Paris, a unisex bag from their collection, although we found the shape and design to be more feminine. While not pictured above (and not a part of the giveaway), you can view this bag here. The Paris is a stylish and formal version of the everyday duffel bag; once again, this piece is strongly constructed, soft and unstructured enough to hold various types of items. The bag is also versatile and can be used for an overnight trip or as a larger handbag when you need one.

LOVE these bags!

I recently ordered a custom Bella bag from Gunas and I have to tell you their customer service was amazing! Their design team worked closely with me in picking colors and materials I like and the final bag came out so beautiful! I get compliments on it each time I carry it around. Right after the Bella I landed up ordering their Rockstar purse in patent red and it's stunning in person as well! Finally there's a company that makes vegan bags that look and feel great!


Terrible smell!

Sep 13, 2012 by Marie-Andree

I ordered an Emily clutch. The bag is nice looking but it smells very strongly of chemicals and the smell is not going away... So beware people with allergies! Gunas would not allow me to return it because it was a "custom bag" even though on the website it was simply one of the standard color options. So if you order from their website, read the fine print and make sure you are not ordering a custom bag.

I was very fortunate to be one of the winners of the contest for the GUNAS handbags. I received my Neon bag yesterday and I am absolutely in love with it! This bag is one of the most beautiful, classic, fun bags I have ever seen and knowing that it is made of completely vegan materials makes it even more beautiful. The quality is amazing and I am convinced this bag will last far longer than most of the bags I already have. The colors are gorgeous!

I originally intended to use it only for special occasions but I could not resist starting to use it right away. I have already received so many compliments on it!

I am so glad to have been introduced to GUNAS through this contest and will most definitely be purchasing products from them.

Thank you GUNAS and One Green Planet!

    I’m a sweetheart and so is my Grandaughter. I always said,” Cali sweetheart” do this or whatever we wanted. When she was two she called me Granny Sweetheart. Such a sweet memory.

  2. avatar Cynthia Amoruso says:

    I live in sunny Florida, where it’s warm all year long. And I’m cheerful, stylish, and 100% Vegan. Yes, that gorgeous Sweetheart is calling my name. It’s telling me it’s bold, versatile, and bright. It’s telling me the super cheerful yellow and white color combo is perfect for this climate all year long. Come here, Sweetheart. I promise to give you a nice loving home, I’ll take you out every day, brag about you and care for you. You can’t go wrong with me. To the city, the coast, even to that happiest place on earth, you’ll be my constant companion. You won’t go wrong with me Sweetheart-I promise!

  3. avatar Kiki says:

    Love both but I am a Neon gal. As a veg for 20 yrs, sometimes you have to be tougher than a Sweetheart to handle people’s cluelessness :)

  4. avatar Vanessa says:

    I’m a neon type of grrl because I’m different, bold and tough on the outside but soft of the inside, with purpose. I’m organized yet I stand out without being an attention seeker.

  5. avatar Amy A says:

    I would be proud to carry either but I’m a Neon girl! The basket weave exterior gives awesome texture, it’s a unique spin on the rocker style turned boho for summer. The neon accents make it pop! Best of all it crulety free, I’m in love!

  6. avatar Ashley Hermann says:

    I am definitely a Sweetheart: a classic beauty with a little sass.

  7. avatar Michelle Packard says:

    I am the Neon Purse girl. I love the bold color combination and fun a whimsical rounded shape. This bag is fashionable yet environmentally friendly. Who could ask for anything more!

  8. avatar Sophie Ka says:

    I am a Neon chick. It just goes so well with everything. :0

  9. avatar Michelle H. says:

    I’m a Sweetheart: soft and sunny with a bit of sass….take a look at my tassels and brads and a bit of chain-mail going on for my handle…being a sweetheart does not mean I’m a pushover.

  10. avatar Nina says:

    NEON – because it’s super gorgeous, trendy and most importantly, VEGAN! <3

  11. avatar Alicia MacLean says:

    I’m a neon! I grew up in the 80′s, adorned head to toe in neon, plastic charm necklaces, jelly shoes, and off-the-shoulder tees…you know, everything that’s back in style now! :) What I wasn’t in the 80′s was vegan. Veganism was virtually unheard of to a mainstream child, but now I’m so thankful that I’m aware enough of the exploitation of animals, the environment, and our health to make a conscious decision to no longer support any of those atrocities. Neon Vegan shall be no passing fad!

  12. avatar Catherine says:

    I am a Neon. I am modern with charm. ;)

  13. I’m definitely neon. Is there such a thing as “black neon”? Because that’d be me. ;)

  14. avatar Brooke Spencer says:

    I am a sweetheart type. I like the duality of the bag which I feel mimics my lifestyle, stylish yet sensible and Eco-conscious.

  15. avatar catie says:

    Sweetheart I like that it has some studs but isn’t too rough
