“Hi. Nice to meet you!* I started LUC8K back in 2016. I was working in the world of luxury brands, and for a while, I’d been starting to question the definition of luxury and what it actually means. I guess it means different things to different people, but for me, luxury is personal. It’s a lifestyle, and a mindset and I think it should always be meaningful and responsible. Back then, people thought I was crazy for talking about sustainability, but LUC8K became one of the pioneers by making our products responsibly made and made to order. Everything we make takes a little longer to arrive, but that’s the beauty of bespoke leather and the joy of customization. When you own something that is truly unique and the colors are chosen by you, it’s a wonderful feeling that adds a special touch to your storytelling.  

I’m so proud of the LUC8K team for helping me create a lifestyle brand that brings joy to so many people. I can’t wait for you to live your colors too. Be good, live your absolute best life, and enjoy being the unique individual you are. Love Karen x”
