Berlin, 11. October 2026

LUSTRA hasn’t officially opened its doors yet. Before it does, I want to know how it holds up out there.

So I’m looking for twenty people to take a LUSTRA bag somewhere — a weekend, a long drive, a week that needed one bag and no more — and tell me honestly how it held up. In return, The Hedonist and The Libertine are €290 instead of €390, The Sovereign €390 instead of €490.

I started LUSTRA because I wanted to make something worth keeping. Not another bag with a logo. Something with character, made for real life, spontaneous weekends and everything in between.

I’m not looking for followers. I’m looking for people who travel light.

Twenty places. One question. Once the twenty are chosen, that’s that.

Take it somewhere. Tell me the truth.

With pleasure,

Founder & Creative Director
