Material Research From The Beginning
Cork
One of the earliest animal-free materials explored by LUCKYNELLY — plant-based, tactile and naturally distinctive. Cork became part of the brand's first material archive at a time when refined alternatives to animal leather were still rare.
Wood Veneer
Flexible wood veneer and sewable wood surfaces became part of LUCKYNELLY's early exploration of unusual animal-free materials. Zebrawood was used for an award-winning vegan design and remains part of the brand's material history.
Sewable Slate Stone
Thin, flexible stone-like surfaces expanded the archive beyond classic textiles and leather-look alternatives. These experiments introduced architectural textures and mineral aesthetics into the LUCKYNELLY material language.
Flexible Ceramic
Flexible ceramic-like surfaces were explored for their sculptural quality, unusual tactility and architectural appearance. Material research at LUCKYNELLY has always meant moving beyond expected luxury surfaces.
Muskin
Mushroom-based materials became part of LUCKYNELLY's search for animal-free surfaces with an organic, natural character. The archive reflects years of testing, observing and transforming emerging material possibilities into design objects.
Silver-Plated Vintage Lace Jewelry
LUCKYNELLY explored jewelry made from silver-plated vintage lace, chandelier crystals and found textile fragments. Delicate lace structures became sculptural wearable objects while preserving the beauty of the original material.
The Salt Project
Different salts and alum crystals were grown directly onto textiles and natural surfaces. Fabrics and botanical elements became crystallized sculptural material experiments between chemistry, nature and design.
Apple Skin
Apple-based material became another important step in LUCKYNELLY's research into fruit-derived alternatives for contemporary luxury accessories.
From Botanical Waste To Original Materials
Mango Leather
LUCKYNELLY explored mango-based material innovation by FruitLeather Rotterdam as part of its early research into fruit-derived alternatives for luxury accessories.
DESSERTO Cactus Leather
Cactus-based material by DESSERTO became another milestone in LUCKYNELLY's archive of next-generation luxury materials.
BERRIESTEX
BERRIESTEX is a LUCKYNELLY material development made from strawberries and represents the beginning of the studio's own material innovations.
CITRUSTEX
CITRUSTEX is a LUCKYNELLY material development made from citrus waste and continues the studio's botanical material research.
CABBTEX
CABBTEX is a LUCKYNELLY material development made from cabbage and expands the studio's research into plant-based material possibilities.
PLANTFUR
PLANTFUR is a LUCKYNELLY material development created as a fully plant-based alternative to fur and explores a new tactile language for luxury fashion.
The Human Hair Collection
The Human Hair Collection explores hair-like surfaces made entirely from plants and extends LUCKYNELLY's experimental botanical material language.
