Hey, fabulous souls! Sophie the Giraffe is back, and this time, I'm taking you on an extraordinary journey to the far reaches of the North Pole. Why, you ask? Well, I've heard that the Northern Lights are the ultimate light show, and who wouldn't want a front-row seat for that dazzling spectacle?

As LUC8K would have it, my most recent trip took me to Pakistan, and I've got a heart-warming story to share from it, all about my favourite color! Pink rocks, so, grab a comfy seat, a pink mug of coffee (or something stronger) and let's dive into a tale of pink buses and empowering women in Karachi!

G'day again, fellow explorers! I just had the privilege of witnessing the Women's World Cup final in Sydney. Armed with my sustainable leather bags from LUC8K and a heart full of excitement, let's dive into my epic adventure celebrating women's football, empowerment, and conscious living.
Sophie goes to New Zealand and Australia for the Women's World Cup
G'day,dear fellow adventurers! This month, it’s all about Girl Power. LUC8K sent meto the FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia, and I’m absolutely thrilled to tell you about my remarkable journey.
Sophie & the King | LUC8K and English Royalty Champion Sustainability
At the historic King Charles III coronation, the luxury brands Ambassador Sophie, showcased its bespoke handmade leather products. LUC8K is dedicated to sustainability and craftsmanship in luxury goods and each bag is made with love by experienced artisans. It was an exciting day for the company as they were part of such a momentous occasion as well as having royal family members present at the event. Challenges facing sustainable luxury brands are plentiful, but it was clear that LUC8K had stood up to the challenge on this very special day.
Why Sophie Goes Home? COVID-19 Limits Her Travel
I’m in Botswana as coronavirus COVID-19 caused me to take a break from being a jet setter. As much as I love to travel and promote LUC8K leather bags and accessories, I’m going to take advantage of being home. I’ll spend time with my family, play with the meerkats, and visit areas of the bush and the desert where I have many fond memories growing up. But mostly, I’ll be content to relax and get back to a regular schedule. The last few weeks in the air, I have to say, have been quite comfortable. Airports and planes have been half-full due to the coronavirus COVID-19. Airport staff and airline crews have been more accommodating. People have been friendly. Why does...
Sophie in Switzerland
Switzerland is the little country that could. The tiny, alpine nation is an economic powerhouse with the world’s 20th largest economy. Not bad for a country with the same population as New York City. It always scores in the top 10 in quality-of-life surveys, and it has a wealth of geographical features, from staggering mountains to bucolic valleys. Its cities all seem to be the proper size, and everything in the country runs like clockwork, which it should since the Swiss watch industry is one of its largest business sectors. Switzerland is an incredibly diverse and well-educated nation. However, it also can be quite confusing. It borders France, Italy, Germany, and Lichtenstein. While Swiss-German is the official language, French, Italian,...
Sophie Goes To Greece
After visiting the U.S., where she saw how Donald Trump and others are trying to replace democracy with a right-wing dictatorship, Sophie, with her LUC8K handmade leather bags, is now flying to Athens, Greece. Why Athens? The Greek capital is one of the world’s oldest continually inhabited cities with a recorded history that dates back to 1400 BC. It is known as the cradle of Western civilization. This is due to its progress in the fields of literature and architecture. Athens really excelled in philosophy, were pioneers in this new field of learning—such as Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates—first shared their theories that are still being studied today. Athens is also known as the birthplace of democracy. Athens’ politics evolved into...
Sophie Searches for the Essence of America
Sophie’s latest LUC8K adventure takes her back to the United States, with her first stop being Washington D.C. Once off the plane, she headed, with her leather tote and canvas bag, straight for the center of world power, the White House. It is said the president of the United States is the leader of the free world. Because of an archaic system of electing U.S. presidents and proven Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the free world leader is now a deranged, narcissist, sadist. Donald Trump’s immigration record consists of placing the poorest of the poor in cages (where children have died) and deporting people without regard to their family situation or whether they are even U.S. citizens....
Sophie Experiences Yellowstone National Park Breakdown
Those who live in the developed world take so many things for granted without regard for how quickly it could all disappear. These were some of Sophie’s thoughts as she walked through Yellowstone National Park during the United States government shutdown. This wasn’t the trip Sophie envisioned when she took her handcrafted LUC8K leather handbags and belt to Yellowstone, but it was eye-opening nevertheless. To double the damage already caused by the shutdown, the former Department of Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, decided to keep the park open with only a skeleton crew to maintain it and handle tourists. The results were easy to predict as toilets and trashcans were overflowing with human waste. Snowmobiles tore through the park as they...
