LUCINE's purpose is not only to celebrate art from different cultures around the world, but also give back to the communities with which we partner. In light of the longstanding socioeconomic crisis in beautiful Venezuela, we will donate 10% of sales from the VENEZUELA collection to Cuatro Por Venezuela, a foundation dedicated to creating programs and partnerships to deliver relief to any corner of the national territory of Venezuela. Founded by four Venezuelan women living in the U.S., the mission of the initiative is to provide supplies and resources covering health, nutrition and education to those in need.Check out the collection HERE:
