Edition 01: The Character Guide

Edition 01 is the beginning of Lux Monsters: a cast of characters, each a hand-finished figure fitted with solid 18K gold and natural stones. This is the reference for the edition, character by character, so you know what you are looking at before you choose.

Read it the way you would read an auction preview. Short. Useful. No decoration.

Every character in Edition 01 has its own name, colorway, and dark little story. Those stories are invented lore, the imaginative world the brand builds around the objects. What is real is the make: a soft-sculpted body in premium faux fur, solid 18K gold settings, and, on the pieces that carry them, natural diamonds, rubies, or sapphires. The exact materials for each piece are listed on its certificate.

How Edition 01 is structured

Edition 01 is a numbered, limited edition. Pieces are individually numbered, 01, 02, 03, and so on. Production is underway, and the final size of the edition is set by what the house can actually finish, not by a marketing target, so no fixed count is quoted here.

What you can act on is simpler. At launch, the €1,500 editions are available to buy directly on the site. Higher editions and the flagship piece are offered by private request. Every piece, at every level, ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and a unique serial number.

Every character shares the same base construction. Roughly a 12 centimeter body, about 15 centimeters total with the clip. Long-pile premium plush. Poly fiberfill with high rebound. Lobster clasp and jump ring in gold-tone hardware. The design DNA sits at the intersection of cute luxury and Tim Burton. Oversized head. Expressive eyes. Slightly creepy-cute smiles. Visible stitch motifs. High-contrast palette in black, pink, and ice blue.

What changes from piece to piece is the material inside the shell. The plush and the silhouette stay consistent so a collector can display the edition side by side without visual dissonance. The gold, the stones, and the finishing decide where a piece sits in the run.

The €1,500 editions

These are the pieces available to buy directly at launch. Each is a full character in its own right, with gold detailing and its own place in the collection. The exact materials for each are listed on its certificate.

NoirRib

Tagline: Everything that exists is born from him.

In the lore, NoirRib is where it all begins. Nero colorway. Minimal skeleton ribcage detail embroidered across the chest. Gold fang and gold claw, the signatures that repeat across the edition. Personality: the foundation of the collection, quiet and permanent. If you are starting a Lux Monsters collection and want the anchor piece, this is it. Price: €1,500.

SplitWink

Tagline: Half shadow, half bubblegum.

A dual-soul design. Half black, half pink, split along a central stitch seam that runs top to bottom. One eye open, one closed. Play and hidden strategy. SplitWink is already treated inside early collector circles as a collection icon, the piece that defines the silhouette of the range and the colorway the rest of the edition answers to. Price: €1,500.

SplitGrin

Tagline: The laughing version. More aggressive, more cute.

SplitGrin is the sister piece to SplitWink. Same nero and rosa colorway, same central stitch seam, but with a wider grin and a more aggressive tilt. Mischief with teeth. Displayed together, SplitWink and SplitGrin read as two moments of the same expression, closed and open, held and released. Price: €1,500.

PatchPanic

Tagline: Not perfect, but survived.

PatchPanic is the rebuilt one, pulled apart and stitched back together. Rosa and azzurro colorway. Gold metal button on the chest, embroidered stitch marks across the body that show where the piece was put back together. Not perfect, by design. The imperfection is the point. Personality: broken and rebuilt stronger. For collectors drawn to narrative pieces and visible history. Price: €1,500.

TearBunny

Tagline: The tears do not fall. They remain, like memory.

An emotional anomaly. Ice-blue colorway. A single soft-resin tear drop fixed permanently below the eye, never falling. Emotion held in place. Gold fang, gold claw. Personality: emotion and strength carried at the same time, without contradiction. One of the quieter characters in a display, and a favorite among the collectors who gravitate to them. Price: €1,500.

SootSniff

Tagline: It was not created. It entered reality.

SootSniff is the off-record one, the character that slips into the set without an invitation. Nero and azzurro colorway. Embroidered patch detail with a plush nose that extends slightly further than the rest of the face. Personality: mystery and hidden value. This is the piece for collectors who like the footnote that turns into the favorite. Price: €1,500.

InkBunny

Tagline: It does not follow rules. It creates them.

Unstable matter destined to fade, in the lore. Nero colorway with pink inner ears, kept minimal and clean against the black fur. InkBunny carries a double gold fang, not a single one, the quiet tell for the collector who knows what to look for across the edition. Personality: art and rebellion, the piece that refuses the shape it was given. Price: €1,500.

BoneBloop

Tagline: It laughs, but no one knows why.

BoneBloop is the dark humor piece of the edition. Nero and bianco colorway. Skeleton print embroidered in white across the body, readable at a distance. Gold fang and gold claw. Personality: dark yet ironic, the piece that softens the weight of the other characters with its own joke. For collectors who want the one that smiles back when the lights are off. Price: €1,500.

ChonkGloom

Tagline: Heavy, slow, inevitable.

A favorite by popular vote inside the earliest collector circles. Nero with a pink belly. Chubby proportions that break the silhouette of the rest of the edition and give the piece real presence on a shelf. Double gold fang. Personality: strong and stable, the anchor of a display. If you can only own one of the €1,500 editions, many collectors will point you here first. Price: €1,500.

Higher editions, by private request

This is where Edition 01 crosses into real precious stones. Each of these pieces carries natural gems set inside a solid 18K gold bezel with a rigid eye module. The bezel is a fixed, jewelry-grade housing, not decorative. These pieces are offered by private request rather than direct checkout.

CaratCry, GEM Edition, Diamonds

Tagline: Cold, precise, unreachable.

In the lore, CaratCry was made for perfection: when the diamonds were set into the eye modules, it lost emotion entirely. Natural diamonds. Solid 18K gold bezel. Rigid eye module that protects the stones and preserves the facet angles at the intended viewing distance. Nero body. Personality: cold, precise, perfect. CaratCry is the piece for the collector who wants the Lux Monsters statement in its coldest, most technical form, closer to a jewelry object than a figure. By private request.

RubyRuin, GEM Edition, Rubies

Tagline: The eyes no longer reflect light. They devour it.

In the lore, RubyRuin is the one that woke up: when the rubies went in, something changed. Natural rubies. Solid 18K gold bezel. Rigid eye module. Rosa body. The red gaze gives RubyRuin a vampiric presence that still reads as cute from across the room, which is the precise tension Lux Monsters is built on. Personality: born from chaos and obsession, a piece about power rather than politeness. By private request.

The pairing of RubyRuin and CaratCry together is the most asked-about combination in Edition 01. Owning both is a statement in its own right.

The flagship, by private request

Mint Slime, Signature Edition

Tagline: Softest form, rarest soul.

Mint Slime is the flagship of Edition 01. Menta body with a pink slime drip motif running across the crown and down the body. Sapphire gem eyes set in a solid 18K gold module. Custom luxury presentation box. White-glove delivery to the buyer anywhere in the world. It sits at the top of the edition and at the top of any collection that holds it. Offered by private request.

How to choose your piece

You can approach Edition 01 in three honest ways.

Collect the set. Start with NoirRib as the anchor, add the SplitWink and SplitGrin pair, and build toward ChonkGloom. Each of the €1,500 editions is a full character in its own right, and together they tell the full Edition 01 story.

Anchor the collection. Enquire about one of the higher editions, RubyRuin or CaratCry, and let it hold the center of your display. These pieces carry natural stones and solid 18K gold, which means they hold their place in a wider luxury collection next to watches, fine jewelry, or contemporary art.

Take the flagship. If Mint Slime is where your taste lands, enquire by private request. It is a different category of decision.

Whichever path you take, the edition will close. When the last piece ships, Edition 01 is done. Edition 02 follows roughly two months later, a new edition with its own characters.

Notes for serious collectors

A few technical points worth knowing before you buy.

The 18K gold bezels on the higher editions and the flagship are not decorative housings. They are rigid, jewelry-grade settings designed to hold the stones under normal handling and display. The stones are set into the module, not glued to the fabric. This matters for long-term value and for insurance.

Every piece ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity carrying its unique serial number. The pieces set with natural stones ship with additional stone documentation. When you insure the piece, your insurer will ask for this paperwork. Keep it with the box. There is no chip and no app: the certificate and the serial number are the authentication.

Packaging is part of the object. Edition 01 boxes are built to survive the first decade of ownership without degrading the way retail packaging does. If you intend to resell, keep the box closed when you are not displaying it. Collectors on the secondary market will ask.

White-glove delivery on the flagship means the piece is hand-carried to the buyer by a trained courier, regardless of destination. No standard shipping chain.

Closing the edition

When the last piece of Edition 01 ships, the run closes. There is no second print. There is no anniversary reissue. What left under this edition is what will ever exist under it.

Edition 02 follows roughly two months later, a new edition with its own characters and the same approach. Different characters. Same house.

The work continues.
