The Lucky Shopping Manual: Building and Improving Your Wardrobe Piece by Piece
Launched by Condé Nast in late 2000 under founding editor Kim France, Lucky was famously marketed as “the magazine about shopping.” It broke industry norms by treating retail products, high-and-low price points, and practical purchasing information as the core editorial focus rather than traditional high-fashion fantasy. As huge fans of the magazine, we approached France and Lucky’s founding creative director, Andrea Linett, to create a practical and exhaustive handbook for building a better wardrobe.

The Lucky Shopping Manual features a practical flexi binding, a ribbon bookmark, and four different covers to choose from, each with a different iconic handbag, so readers can pick the one that best matches their personal style.
