Long-term education is sustainable. So is Sophie, our testimonial, and the one individual who most closely personifies the LUC8K experience. In a world of ever-changing fashion and trends, Sophie’s appearance is distinct and unique. Enjoy your attraction to color and pep up your stylish bag with our handmade bead bag charm or simply use it as a keychain: No matter what, going beyond what is usual is LUC8K.

The sunshine beats down on Mike from Zimbabwe, 32, married to Anesu and father of two in Sandton, Johannesburg’s premier shopping district and affluent business area. Selling his beaded art on the streets has a hard enough life as it is for a living. However, Mike studied handcraft in Zimbabwe before he fled to Johannesburg. He was one of the three million Zimbabweans who have emigrated from their home country to South Africa in search of work leaving his parents and friends behind. 

It was a magic moment when we met Mike. Creating the custom beaded Sophie for LUC8K is not only a challenging experience but also makes reliable extra money Mike can use to send his two kids to school investing in a better future, and ultimately the next generation. That’s why learning for a sustainable future is an integral part of the luc8k company.
