Our Story.
‘Sustainable style without compromise'
We care about quality and sustainability.
The average fashionista owns seven handbags. That’s a lot of bags and not good for one’s carbon footprint. LUC8K seeks to offset this by setting new standards in luxury style. The leather in all our high-quality bags and accessories is responsibly and sustainably sourced, so you can look good and feel good whilst doing your bit for the planet.
The leather used for LUC8K bags and accessories is made of “Bull Poney premium grade” hide from the French Basque region. The leathers are mineral tanned and vegetable re-tanned. Colours are drum-dyed from a tannery whose processes are sustainable.
We handcraft in France, and our luxury leather has a light grain which is soft to the touch. That allows your custom-made leather bags and accessories to uphold their integrity and grow even more beautiful over time.
Functional, beautiful & fierce: who is leading the fight for sustainable business?
Say hello to Karen Olivo, the founder and President of LUC8K. Based in Switzerland, she combines her experience of science, her love of the planet, and her eye for detail to deliver the highest quality
sustainable style money can buy. Karen emulates the beauty, vision, and uniqueness of the LUC8K brand. Essentially, creating products with both depth and character.
Karen has 23 years’ experience in sustainable international business practices. She has advised the CEOs and PR executives of many leading global organizations on sustainability matters. With her expertise in this field, she decided to go her own way and create sustainable style that embodies her devotion to creating a better world for everyone.
Beautiful By Nature
Karen Olivo is not alone in her mission to provide personalised,
sustainable style. Business partner Anette Mossbacher is an international award-winning wildlife and landscape photographer. She has a passion for discovering and sharing natural beauty from around the globe. Anette’s dedication to capturing nature at its finest ensures that together, they produce luxury leather bags and accessories that align themselves with nature as much as possible.
Lucky Number 8
we believe that a little LUC8K goes a long way. Eight is a lucky number and when turned on its side, it transforms into the infinity symbol. To us, it reflects the process of achieving harmony within a community of unique individuals.
You can add this symbolic statement to our custom-made leather
accessories and we can even provide you with an infinity sign belt buckle to complete your look.
