A Vegan “Birkin”-Style Bag? Fish-Free Caviar? See How PETA Is Treating This Year’s Top Oscar® Nominees to Animal-Friendly Luxury
As Hollywood’s biggest stars prepare for the industry’s biggest night, where they hope to take home the gilded statuette, they’ll also receive gifts worth their weight in gold: a chic vegan “Birkin”-style handbag from GUNAS and decadent, plant-powered caviar from Cavi-art. These luxurious, animal-friendly offerings will land in the hands of top Oscar® nominees, including Michael B. Jordan, Jacob Elordi, Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor, and Paul Thomas Anderson. As part of the “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags, independently distributed by Distinctive Assets, PETA’s gift puts kindness in the spotlight.
A Red Carpet–Worthy Pairing
The structured, statement-making bag from GUNAS is crafted from exquisite microfiber vegan leather—not the skin of cows, crocodiles, or ostriches. Known for its high-end, ethically made designs, the innovative bag brand delivers couture-level craftsmanship that respects our fellow animals.
Paired with it is Cavi-art’s fish-free seaweed caviar—a savory, satisfying delicacy that doesn’t harm sensitive, feeling sea animals or deplete the ocean’s ecosystems. Together, the deluxe duo lets nominees toast to their achievements with flavor and style.
Who PETA’s Gift Is Saving
Mother crocodiles and alligators are fiercely protective of their precious babies. In nature, ostriches share parenting duties, working together to nurture and guard their chicks. But in the wildlife skins industry, workers violently kill these animals for pricy handbags and accessories. A single Birkin bag uses the stolen skins from as many as three crocodiles.
Sturgeons—among the oldest surviving species groups on the planet—have survived mass extinction events over millions of years. Today, many are endangered, largely due to the cruel fishing industry and the caviar trade. These gentle, intelligent animals experience fear and stress—yet workers often cut the eggs out of mother fish while they’re still alive.
GUNAS and Cavi-art are among the many companies proving that luxury and empathy go hand in hand.
