The Sweet Pins Story
Like the best ideas, the Sweet Pins concept started with a cocktail – a few cocktails, to be precise, in a bar overlooking Sydney Opera House. The sun was setting, painting the sky with beautiful splashes of colour. I had just moved to Sydney but that breath-taking view made me think that I was already in love with this city.
Inspired by that surreal moment, I finally decided that I was going to take this idea that I'd had in the back of my mind for years, a little more seriously.
I have always had an obsession with tights. When I was little, I used to spend hours looking into my mother’s drawers, hoping that I would grow up quickly so that I could wear her sheer black lace stockings instead of my pink and white, polka dots socks.
Few years later, while studying Fashion in London, I discovered the impact that lingerie and hosiery has had on women throughout history. While researching for some material on the web, I bumped into a website selling vintage nylons. It was a whole new world for me. The first time I slipped into those nylon stockings, I felt incredibly womanly and sexy. I swore I would never wear anything else, but truth is, is not always very practical to wear a garter belt, especially at work. I soon realized there was so much choice out there, it was a pity to miss out anyway.
Over the years I have bought an incredible amount of hosiery. And every time I open a new pair of exquisite lacy stay ups, I still feel that thrill. To me is a small treat that gives me incredible pleasure and makes me feel good about myself.
My mission is to share this feeling with as many women as possible. I hope you enjoy shopping on our website and if you have any feedback, I’d love to hear from you.
