GUNAS
Overview
GUNAS has always felt to me like Elle Woods encapsulated in a vegan handbag brand. And for that I love it. Their designs are delightfully bougie and feminine, and if you’re looking for bright colors, big bows, and bold textures, GUNAS is the brand for you. They’re also overtly animal-loving advocates, which makes me love them even more.
