Gundara combines Central Asian traditions with contemporary design and savoir vivre. The name Gundara comes from Gandhara, an ancient Buddhist influenced kingdom in what is today Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and it reminds of Guldara, the flower valley. Gundara leather bags are made with great care and attention to detail, employing skills of local women and men. At the same time, Gundara provides oportunities for young people to be trained professionally. Gundara aims to preserve the multi-faceted Afghan cultural heritage rooted in Pashtun, Tajik, and Kyrgyz etc. traditions. Gundara uses delicate handmade embroidery and brightly coloured traditional chopan fabric, in combination with high quality leather to create these strikingly unique and well finished leather bags. Many people want to make a contribution to an Afghanistan that is today trying to re-emerge from decades of war and suffering. Through Gundara, you can make your own contribution to this process in a sustainable and direct way and promote fair trade. Gundara now offers more than sixty models.
