Summary

Gundara are Jean Amat Amoros and Gunda Wiegmann. Together they design leather bags with Afghan artisans who produce the bags in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Gundara creates sustainable business and livelihood development in Afghanistan. About 30% of the retail price of the leather bags goes directly back to the producers in Kabul.
Gundara’s designs are a combination of Afghan traditions and Occidental tastes. Fine handmade embroideries and traditional colorful striped chopan (Karzai’s cloak) cloth are used to create a fusion of European functionality as well as Central and South Asian patterns.
Since Gundara is in direct contact with the producers of the leather bags and embroidery, fair working and fair trade conditions can be guaranteed.
