Description
Introducing Volcanique – Inspired by the wild, untamed beauty of Hawai‘i’s volcanic landscapes, the Volcanique tote is a true work of slow fashion art. Handwoven from warm rust-orange and natural lauhala, this bag is both rugged and refined — a blend of earth and elegance.
Its crown jewel? A breathtaking handmade flower, sculpted from dupioni silk — a luxurious fabric traditionally woven from double cocoons, known for its crisp texture and natural sheen. Each petal dances in the light, shifting between gold, copper, and blush tones, giving it a fiery glow. Raw edges add an organic, wild finish — like something gathered from the edge of a volcano.
At its center glows a raw 1″ citrine stone, golden and luminous, wrapped in 14k gold fill wire — a radiant touch of earth-born beauty.

Handcrafted Uniqueness
Each Lauhala Luxe bag is meticulously handmade by skilled artisans, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. You may notice slight variations or natural imperfections in the weave — these are not flaws, but signatures of true craftsmanship and individuality. This slow fashion approach honors tradition, sustainability, and quality over mass production. When you carry a Lauhala Luxe bag, you’re carrying a one-of-a-kind work of art, crafted with care and soul.
What is Dupioni Silk?
Derived from the Italian word “doppione” — meaning “double” — dupioni silk is crafted from twin cocoons spun together, producing a fabric that’s both luxurious and full of character. Its hallmark is a slubbed finish — delicate, uneven textures that appear as soft ridges in the weave, a natural result of the double cocoon. These organic slubs are celebrated in couture fashion for their depth, movement, and artisanal charm. Known for its crisp body and radiant sheen, dupioni silk shifts in the light, revealing an ever-changing palette of molten golds, blush copper, and rose quartz. It’s a fabric long cherished in bridal and Parisian design houses, and in this piece, it takes on new life — hand-formed into a wild, sculptural flower that feels like it bloomed from the earth itself.
A luxurious, meaningful material for a bag that is more than an accessory — it’s a piece of wearable art.
About Citrine
Citrine is a naturally occurring quartz known for its warm, golden tones — from soft amber to rich honey. The name comes from the French word “citron,” meaning lemon, a nod to its sunlit color palette. The citrine featured in this design is raw and uncut, allowing the natural crystalline structure and organic texture to shine through.
Used in fine jewelry and design for centuries, raw citrine adds a striking, earthy elegance. Each stone is unique in shape and hue, making it a rare and beautiful centerpiece. Set within the silk flower of your bag, it offers a grounded, tactile contrast to the softness of the petals — a refined detail that highlights Surfergrl’s commitment to natural luxury and artisan craftsmanship.
