Lavorarte, from Alhos Vedros, grew and now exports to more countries
Lavorarte is Cris Nascimento making crochet and knitting by hand, to order, in Alhos Vedros, Moita. With a bilingual site, a made-to-measure quote funnel and a sharper presence on social media, sales rose considerably and Lavorarte started exporting more abroad.
The business
Lavorarte is Cris Nascimento, who has been making crochet and knitting by hand for more than 40 years, working alone, at home, in Alhos Vedros, Moita.
Almost every piece is made to order, one at a time, with wool and cotton yarn, and the customer chooses the colour and size. There's no stock waiting.
Lavorarte ships, and quotes are always free and with no commitment.

What Kubo Loko did
Kubo Loko worked on two sides of the same job: the Lavorarte website and social media management.
On the website, we built a bilingual (Portuguese and English) catalogue organised by collection, with dedicated pages for featured pieces, a page explaining how made-to-order works, and a structured quote form built around Cris's made-to-order work: idea, colours, size, deadline and shipping country.
On social media, we helped give Lavorarte a more considered presence on Instagram and Facebook, aligned with the website and with Cris's handmade work.
Design and content
The site's tone is Cris's own, written in the first person: "I'm Cris, I make everything by hand."
Every collection, every piece and every step of the ordering process is written for someone who has never ordered a made-to-measure piece before, so they know exactly what to expect.
Technical and SEO
The website has its own title and description on every page, a canonical link, correctly marked Portuguese and English versions (hreflang), a sitemap and a robots.txt file, and images prepared for social sharing.
We used structured data (schema.org) to describe Lavorarte, Cris, the website and each piece, so search engines and AI assistants can better understand what the business does.
- Sales increased considerably.
- Lavorarte began exporting more to international markets.
Kubo Loko helped me turn Lavorarte into a much more professional presence, one that still feels close to people. From building the website to managing social media, I always felt there was care, creativity and attention to what I do.
They managed to convey the value of my handmade work and made it much simpler for customers to discover the pieces, understand how ordering works, and get in touch with me.
I loved the whole process and all the help I received. The result was very positive: sales went up considerably and I also started exporting even more abroad. I feel Lavorarte has grown, and that Kubo Loko played an important part in that growth.
