My passion
“When buying from Hand Maker, you are buying more than just an object. You are buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentation. You are buying days, weeks and months of frustration and moment of pure joy. You aren’t buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a moment of someones life.”
Hi! I am Lisa
An Italian girl living in London and I’m the mind and the body behind Lunatic_pin. Lunatic_pin was born from the passion of creating something special and unique, together with the desire to share those creations with like-minded people who can comprehend and appreciate the everlasting beauty of handmade clothing. Every item is handmade in London with love, care and passion by me.
MY STORY
My passion for the sewing world has started with my Grandma, who showed me how to use the sewing machine, how to thread a needle, how to sew a button. Since I moved to London and I left my old sewing machine in Italy, 2 years ago I bought a brand-new Singer and I started to sew again. A year ago, I decided to open my fist online shop, Lunatic_pin. Back then, I was working full time as a Visual Merchandiser, then the pandemic happened and the first lockdown with it, so I though “why not, let’s give it a try” and piece by piece I created my brand. Let’s see, what else..? I love cats, roller skating, going to gigs and to dye my hair (I am pretty sure pink/violet/purple are my favourite colours).
ETHICAL BRAND
When I started to making clothes, my goal was (and still is) to become more sustainable as a person and therefore to have an ethical brand. Lunatic_pin is a small business where every item is made to order by me, in my house in London. This is very important to me since I’m offering custom sizing and/or length. My wish is to make people feel 100% good with their new clothes, I want them to buy something they will fall in love with and I want that love to last forever. Lunatic_pin is also a zero-waste brand: I usually reuse most of the small pieces of fabric to make accessories and other details. I usually buy my materials locally and from small realities. I am trying to use dead stock fabric and to avoid any synthetic ones.
