About

Hello! My name is Lucie and I design, cut, sew and pack each LUCI piece by hand in my small atelier in Maribor, Slovenia.

I studied design and textile materials at the University of Maribor, where I learned everything about fabrics and clothing technology. I also had the opportunity to explore contemporary fashion and its "dark" side. So when I started designing the concept for my own label, sustainable and timeless was the only way to do it!

I try to live more consciously every day, and I believe in fewer but better things. And that is reflected in what I create at LUCI. Minimal and timeless design, comfortable fit and natural, high quality fabrics. Nothing more, nothing less. I do not think clothes should be complicated. Clothes should be simple, and you have to feel good in them!

My goal is to show you that clothing can be made in harmony with nature, without harming the environment, exploiting natural resources and violating workers' rights, and still be modern and fashionable.

BABY COLLECTION

In 2021 I became a mother of a sweet little girl, and it was natural for me to sew cute little outfits for her. Following the same concept (slow and sustainable), I started designing simple, comfortable pieces that are easy to change into, functional and ready for little adventures. The cuts are versatile and the sizes are customizable. The final pieces are carefully selected and tested beforehand in all "extreme" conditions. The linen fabric is not just a random choice either. Its properties are perfect for children's clothing. Linen is breathable, hypoallergenic and naturally stain resistant, as well as being very strong and durable. It feels cool in the summer and retains warm air in the winter. The garments are meant to be worn for a long period of time and then shared between siblings or a friend's baby.

LUCI VALUES

Moj namen je prikazati, da je mogoče oblikovati in izdelovati oblačila na način, ki ne izkorišča okolja, naravnih virov in osnovnih človekovih pravic.

LUCI oblačila so minimalističnega videza, multifunkcionalna in jih je mogoče nositi ter kombinirati na več načinov. Pri oblikovanju in ustvarjanju so uporabljeni izbrani principi in metode trajnostnega oblikovanja, ter izključno naravni, certificirani materiali (lan, organski bombaž), ki so primerni za recikliranje in ne vsebujejo nobenih dodatkov, kot je na primer elastan, ali mešanic naravnih vlaken s sintetičnimi. Izbrani materiali zagotavljajo osnovne ekološke standarde in dobro počutje pri nošenju oblačil. Vsaka kolekcija je zasnovana tako, da se oblačila na koncu svoje življenjske dobe lahko reciklirajo. Osnovna oblačila minimalističnega videza ostajajo v modi več let in jih je mogoče nositi več sezon. Z nakupom manjšega števila kakovostnih oblačil brezčasnega videza zmanjšujemo naš negativen vpliv na okolje.

Zakaj #linenlove?

Lanena vlakna so okolju prijazna, saj potrebujejo relativno malo vode in energije za obdelavo ter uporabljajo bistveno manj pesticidov in umetnih gnojil v primerjavi s bombažem. Poleg tega so 100% biorazgradljiva. Lanene tkanine so trpežne, ne povzročajo alergijskih reakcij ter so odporne na madeže. Z uporabo in pranjem postajajo ne le mehkejše, temveč tudi lepše. Lan pozimi greje, poleti pa hladi ter odvaja odvečno toploto s kože. Lan je samo po sebi trajnosten in predstavlja odlično kombinacijo elegance in funkcionalnosti.
