Capri – Italian Island Icon
Capri is a small island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the coast of Naples, Italy. Known for dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and pastel-hued villages, it has long been a playground for the rich and famous, attracting artists, designers, and jet-set travelers.

• Luxury & Glamour: Capri epitomizes exclusive resorts, upscale boutiques, and Mediterranean leisure, blending casual elegance with refined style.
• Natural Beauty: Famous for Faraglioni rock formations, the Blue Grotto sea cave, and lush gardens overlooking the sea.
• Fashion Inspiration: Capri has influenced resort wear, bags, and accessories worldwide, embodying relaxed yet sophisticated style.

For the Capri Luxe Lauhala Tote, the island is the perfect muse because it represents:

• European sophistication — the upscale vibe you want to channel.
• Tropical elegance — parallels Hawaii’s beaches, sun, and palm-lined promenades.
• Color inspiration — natural greens, deep blues, and sunlit tones echo in your lauhala weave.
• Global fusion — Capri’s cosmopolitan history matches your bag’s island-meets-European aesthetic.

The Lauhala plant, also called the Pandanus tectorius, has long, spiky leaves. Artisans harvest and process these leaves to create intricate weavings. Lauhala bags, in particular, showcase the skill of traditional Hawaiian craftsmanship. The weaving technique imparts strength to the bags, making them both functional and beautiful.  Not just an accessory, designed in Hawai'i, this tote is a piece of Hawaiian tradition and artistry.

How to Care for Your Capri Luxe Lauhala Tote Bag:

Lauhala is a beautiful natural fiber—handle it with aloha to keep it looking its best:

• Keep Dry: Avoid prolonged moisture. If it gets wet, gently pat with a soft cloth and let it air dry in a cool, shaded area.
• Clean Gently: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove dust or debris. No harsh cleaners or water.
• Store Smart: Keep in a dust bag or pillowcase when not in use. Avoid crushing or placing heavy items on top.
• Avoid Sharp or Heavy Items Inside: Lauhala is sturdy, but delicate. Don’t overstretch or stress the weave.
• Treat it with Love: Like any handcrafted item, the bag will age gracefully with mindful care.
