Counting Down to LUCA's A/W Collection
We have just returned from an incredible long weekend in Porto (finalising our A/W LUCA collection), and I wanted to share some of our trip with you. We flew in on Friday morning, eager to dive straight into work at the factory. Our lovely factory just outside of Porto had already created our first collection and it was great to be back. It is always a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team, determined to bring the LUCA dream and vision to life.
On our first factory visit, we reviewed and picked up our initial first samples. Over the weekend, we focused on measuring and testing those samples, making necessary amendments on the spot. This hands-on approach allowed us to fine-tune everything right there, saving us the inevitable delays of sending things back and forth.
Heading back to the factories on Monday with our adjustments felt productive and efficient, especially given our tight timeline. It was exciting, too! Our autumn/winter collection is shaping up beautifully, and I can't wait for you to see it. Whether you're cycling up a mountain or hitting the spin class, LUCA is the stylish, empowering, designed-for-women cycling kit I was looking for, and it's a joy to bring a new collection to you all, and to build our LUCA community.
Finally, if you haven't been to Porto before, I highly recommend it! The city is filled with amazing food spots and a vibrant atmosphere that makes it truly special. It was a whirlwind trip, but the combination of hard work and the charm of Porto made it an experience to remember!
