Luckyou is a label from swiss designer Stefanie Luginbühl. She creates jewellery and bowls completely out of recycled paper, i.e. fashion magazines, and sells them to boutiques and directly over the internet. It’s biological, it’s social responsible, and – most of all – it just looks great.
Luckyou also comprises a charity component: the necklaces are produced in the townships of capetown, south africa, mainly by women. One third of the earnings goes into production. The more necklaces are sold, the more people (mainly women) in the townships can get a job and income for their families.

This is terrific!! Recycled and socially responsible?!? Her stuff should be in all the fashion magazines! Truly a gift!
