Our Luxe Lauhala Collection embraces slow fashion by focusing on quality craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and timeless design. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, ensuring you not only acquire a beautiful accessory but also contribute to a more ethical and environmentally conscious fashion industry. By choosing products like our Hunakai and Kahala bags, you're supporting a movement towards reduced waste and more mindful consumption, where each item is designed to last beyond fleeting trends.
Crafted from eco-friendly lauhala fibers, these bags are a perfect example of sustainable fashion. While lauhala is a renewable resource, it’s important to note that the weave is delicate and should be treated with care. These bags embody the spirit of responsible fashion, offering a unique, natural look that honors traditional artisan techniques while remaining mindful of environmental impact.
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.
To care for your Hunakai Purse and ensure it lasts beautifully, follow these simple steps:
Keep Dry: Lauhala is natural fiber, so avoid exposure to excessive moisture. If it gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Clean Gently: To remove dust or dirt, use a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using any harsh cleaning products that could damage the fibers.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your purse in a cool, dry place. Keep it in a dust bag or soft pouch to protect it from dirt and abrasion. Avoid placing heavy items on top of it.
Avoid Excessive Pressure: While lauhala is durable, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects inside that could puncture or stretch the weave.
Handle with Care: Treat it as you would any delicate, handcrafted item—gently and with appreciation. Over time, the natural fibers may soften, but they should retain their beauty with the right care.
