Contest is closed - winner will be announced shortly 

Complete any outfit with this luxurious, sustainably-made, vegan over-the-shoulder bag from GUNAS, an accessory that will show off your progressive, eco-minded and fashionable side, whether you're shopping at the farmer's market or attending an invite-only event.

GUNAS proves that being green and looking haute are not mutually exclusive. This designer line provides elegant alternatives to leather, silk, fur and other animal skins by using green, vegan materials like faux nylons, synthetic microfibers and ultra-suede. And to make owners feel extra special/control quality, items are made in limited quantities - no more than 250 are made of each.

I have done steps 1 through 3 and followed and tweeted all.
#4: I would love this bag because I am really excited about the whole concept of your line! I never paid attention to these things before. I recently turned 60 years old and realized that my generation is mostly oblivious to the green movement. It would be amazing for me to be able to show your products to friends and family and make them see that we do not have to use animals in the process of making fashion items. I am trying to take care of my body and spirit at this point in my life and this would be great for my spirit! This is the perfect size for when I walk in the park and I bet the regulars there would take notice of a bag this gorgeous!

i would love this bag because, i am a vegetarian wanting to go the next step and be animal cruelty free, the first thing i did was give all things leather, silk, etc away! even my LV speedy!
i feel much better knowing my clothing and bags are not to be from an animal

I followed all of the steps! :-D I would really really really love to carry this bag around. Honestly, I need to graduate from the diaper bag I've been carrying forever, that I don't really need to carry around, since my youngest only wears a diaper at night. I need something light and functional because I have 2 kids to run after day in and day out. I think it's very important for vegan bags to be made of eco-materials because I think they work hand in hand. It really doesn't make sense to have one and not the other, they definitely work in harmony.

Have been a vegetarian & recently transitioned to vegan... Thanks to a friend who encouraged me to view 'Forks over Knives'. And if I win the purse I would gift it to her.

I would love to win this GUNAS bag because it is a sharp looking bag and because it is vegan. I am always finding new ways for my family to be green and sometimes we miss the obvious like when buying a new bag. Recycling, re-using, composting, saving energy, etc. are all part of our daily lives and sometimes we need to go outside of the box and realize we are not doing everything we could be doing.

There are a few reasons why I would LOVE to win this bag! A few years ago, I graduated school for fashion design and even received “Future fashion designer” award at my graduation! I was not a vegan or even a vegetarian then. At that point in my life I was very materialistic and very wasteful. After I had my son, I started to learn more about food, true health and the reasons why I should be a vegetarian or vegan. I had always wanted to, but never had the guts to do it since my family is the, “I love animals and I don’t want to know where my food comes from. I would love to be vegetarian… but I cant because I need the iron and protein! I need my meat!”. After debunking those myths and going in the meatless direction, my life has changed so much. I am clear, focused and so happy! I still have my love for fashion but have stopped designing to raise my baby son, but I am still a TRUE lover of creative fashion- eco friendly vegan fashion! Looking back at my college days, I realize how wasteful and careless we all were in fashion design! If we messed up sewing something, often that material would be thrown away, or thought of as scrap! We really should have salvaged those things and realized what we were doing! Luckily, even with me being oblivious I never touched a leather, silk or fur! I thought eco-friendly fabrics were just something that was too costly and didn’t understand why I should use them. I wish that I would have taken more time to learn the things I know now back then and make the most of the time I had, but then again I would not be where I am now! Now I know the things that happen to animals to produce furs and leathers! Cheaply made mock-leathers and such are a waste as well and lead us to the dump fast! Now I take a step back and think about the things I buy and the things I make. I feel like everyone I associated with in school had no ideas about these things and did not care. I find my self a lone with these topics with old friends so I have started a blog about fashion, DIY projects, ecofriendly living and vegan & vegetarian food. I would love to bring awareness to people who were just like me and I have the meatless ideas growing on my family!

I found GUNAS a few months ago and have been DROOLING over their bags! I have been dreaming for the day I could afford one!! They are innovative, edgy and exactly my style! The most amazing part about their brand is that they use eco-materials, do not use harmful dies and are animal friendly!! I would love this bag because I know what it takes to construct a piece clothing and I can really appreciate what they have done to join high end with something so sustainable. I admire them for what they do and hope to start a brand one day with as high standards for ecofriendly vegan fashion and GUNAS does!

LOVE EVG and GUNAS and have been a follower since the beginning. I already subscribed to your youtube channel and an avid follower on FB. :-)

The commitment to an animal-free lifestyle extends beyond the kitchen for me ! I think it's important to support businesses against animal cruelty and living a compassionate life. For me, it has changed my outlook on life. Thanks to GUNAS and many others I can sports tasteful fashion knowing that no animals were harmed in the making of them !!! Bless your hearts !

I only hope that one day, the whole world can share this passion for living and reduce the unjustifiable deaths that animals endure. This is one planet that we should share with all living creatures. God Bless and please continue to spread the love for all things 'vegan-friendly .'

I would LOVE to win this !!! Really really would !! :D

Besides the fact that this Gunas purse is beautiful, I would love to have it as I am a poor post college student with a less than part time job. I barely have enough money to buy some of the foods you suggest on your website. I could never spend this much on a purse...but I would love to support this company. It's so great that they are making eco-friendly vegan purses. It's a great alternative to the vegan purses out there, that while cute, are made from synthetics.
