My name is Lucca Böttcher and Tom Cooper Design is the label of my design office, which has been successfully established in Berlin for more than 20 years. After having to be a man for 70 years, I have finally decided to give priority to my feminine side. Since 2022 I call myself Lucca as an abbreviation of Lucrezia. Have a look at my brief vita here.
