Sustainability
To ensure your clothes go with you through as much life as possible, all repairs, whether it be patching a hole or tear, replacing zippers or hemming, are available to all garments weather made by myself or others. Contact @luci.la.la with any repairs you may need.
Sustainability and ethical production within fashion are such important aspects and are often overlooked resulting in the industry being among the top three most wasteful and unsustainable industries worldwide. Unfortunately this isn’t only reserved to fast fashion and big mass produced companies, it can also include small brands who outsource their production to unreliable factories. It is so important to shop with brands that offer full transparency so you know how and who is making your clothes.
DESIGN
All Luci products are thoughtfully designed to ensure versatility and practicality in the hopes these pieces become wardrobe staples to carry with you through life.
Garment patterns are drafted by myself using minimal paper and as most waste is a direct result of mistakes, I use measure twice cut once in every area of the creation process.
FABRIC & MATERIALS
Almost 100% of materials are locally sourced deadstock, including fabric, buttons, zippers and elastic, with the exception of thread. I use a brand I trust to be very strong, ensuring seam durability.
Pattern pieces are carefully arranged on fabric prior to cutting to ensure the most optimal use of fabric is achieved, creating the least amount of waste. Offcuts are used to make garment and size labels, as well as remnant bags.
LABELS
All tags and labels were designed by myself and are either created using eco stamps that were hand made in the UK by Get Stamped, a local company while I was living in Scotland or were hand carved by myself.
PAPER
Paper scraps from the design and pattern making processes are saved, shredded and hydrated to create paper used for swing tags ensuring zero paper waste.

PRODUCTION
Garments are made to order and sewn by myself. As I am the only person involved in the production process I can always make sure every seam and garment is constructed to the high quality I hold this label to.
Before producing garments for sale, I test samples for wear points and any areas of weakness or discomfort. Wearing samples for a few weeks is the best way to check this. Samples are never wasted and become part of mine or friends and families wardrobes.
