The Vest Practice
Their Story
"The Vest Practice" was founded in 2018 by Nicola Bullock. Bullock, a Nelson-based designer and former expatriate, was inspired to create the business while working in Qatar. In air-conditioned offices, she found knit vests to be a necessity for layering and noticed their tailored and edgy appeal.…
What They Make
The Vest Practice offers a range of luxury knit vests for women. Their collections feature classic British-inspired patterns such as herringbone, houndstooth, stripes, and tartan, with an edgy, "borrowed-from-the-boys" aesthetic. The vests are crafted from premium yarns including cashmere, merino, possum merino, and cotton/cashmere blends. They release two collections annually, encapsulating a youthful and adventurous feminine spirit. Specific named products mentioned include "Trinity Check Knit Vest" and "Miss Penn Knit Vest". They have also expressed an interest in producing menswear vests in the future.
