Live your colours with LUC8K: Sustainable Style

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows among colours. It is an extraordinarily subtle language fuelled by a mixture of purpose and excitement. Undoubtedly, I continuously try to figure out how to speak that language.

Language is also about travelling to amazing places, meeting people who inspire, enjoying delicious food, and embarking on journeys of self-discovery. Indeed, we have brought depth to sustainable fashion.

There are two things that inspire Karen Olivo (founder of Luc8K):

The Beauty of Colours and the Magic of Numbers

Colour in design is very subjective. What evokes one reaction in someone may elicit a very different response in others. Colours can make us feel happy or sad, excited, or relaxed. LUC8K wants to inspire people to live their colours, using unique designs to convey their own idea of beauty. We want your adventure to awaken you to the joy of being alive and allow yourself to make the most of your precious time on earth.

LUC8K is a Pattern of Numbers

I find numbers to be a source of inspiration. They are fun and beautiful. Most of all, numbers excite my mind. Growing up with a father who is an astrophysicist, I learned how numerical patterns encompass all that is life.

If you look closely at a daisy, you will find spirals that go out from the centre. Nature is all about Math, whether it is numbers of petals on a flower or the number of spirals on a pineapple. All of these applications are known as Fibonacci numbers.

What I find most inspirational about them are the beautiful patterns they display.

That’s why at LUC8K we think of numbers, equally with nature, culture, and passion as core values.

 

The Lucky 8 and 34

If you understand the Fibonacci sequence, you will know that nothing in nature is random. Because of this, we at LUC8K take nothing for a chance.

The LUC8K logo consists of a four-letter and a four-number pattern. The letters display airport codes printed as bar codes on baggage tags. You can choose your personal, bespoke lucky numbers. Adding the four letters and four numbers together, you get eight.

Turned sideways, 8 is the symbol for infinity ∞. Steeped in ancient religion, modern mysticism, and in mathematics, it has no edges, no beginning, and no end. The number 8 is LUC8K’s lucky number. Our genuine Italian fabric liner contains the bespoke LUC8K bag code, used in all of our luxurious leather accessories. It is quilted onto the bottom of our leather bags using gold metallic thread as our trademark. Indeed, this guarantees that you own an original and genuine LUC8K product.

At the bottom of the bag, there are 34 studs. The numbers 34 and 8 are numbers in the Fibonacci sequence.

That is my way of saying that whilst the name of our brand signifies luck, there is nothing random about the way our bags are produced and how long they are designed to last. Like the wonders of nature, we embed the Fibonacci code in our products. Ready to accompany you on your life’s journey of self-discovery, wherever it may take you.
