About the Company

Luckynelly is a luxury PETA-approved vegan label from Berlin. The founder, Christine Rochlitz, is the designer and creator of its collection of handbags and accessories and she has also developed its own next-gen materials as alternatives for leather: Citrustex and Berriestex.

Citrustex is a vegan and sustainable material made from tangerine peels or other citrus fruits waste.

Berriestex is a vegan and sustainable material made from strawberries or other berries waste as overripe strawberries and their leaves stems and leaves.

Technology

Citrustex (citrus/textile): The tangerine peels are mixed with different vegan and organic ingredients and become water-resistant and durable through covering with special plant-oil based liquids and plant-based waxes. The finished material is flexible, sewable and has an interesting pattern in a yellowish-orange color. It is 100% organic and does not contain PVC or PU.

Berriestex (berries/textile): The strawberries’ waste is mixed with different vegan and organic ingredients and becomes water-resistant and durable through covering with a special plant-oil based liquid. The finished material is flexible, sewable and is reminiscent of ostrich leather, due to the pores that can be seen in the finished material and impart a special structure.
