Lavish Lace, Tauranga

“My goal is to outfit New Zealand women in their own stylish, well constructed lace hi-vis safety vests.”

Seven colours.
Two styles.

What's the point of a hi-vis vest? To be seen. Ours does that perfectly.

Colour

  • Safety Yellow
  • Tangerine Orange
  • Cherry Red
  • Hot Pink
  • Perfect Purple
  • Royal Blue
  • Midnight Black

Safety Yellow, Tangerine Orange and Cherry Red are fluorescent hi-vis fabric. The other four are made to be noticed, not for sites that require hi-vis.

Style

Multi-pocket
Two flapped chest pockets and a D-ring on the front.
No pockets
Clean front, all lace, one long zip.

Safety first.
Then a little fancy.

It's not about impractical fashion statements. These vests are meant for hard working situations where safety comes first, and sometimes you want something a little bit fancy to lift your spirits.

  • Mesh lace

    A hybrid mesh-lace fabric. Soft, durable, and made not to snag.

  • Heavy duty zip

    Enamel-coated, so it will not rust.

  • Reinforced stitching

    Made to hold up to hard work.

  • Reflective bands

    Round the middle and over both shoulders, for being seen at night.

  • Handmade, washable

    Every vest is handmade, and every vest is washable.

Anyone who needs to be seen.

  • Event set up teams
  • Factory workers
  • Roadworks
  • Pack-house staff
  • Walking the dog at night
  • School crossings
  • The bike club
  • Walking groups

No other safety vest caters to what women deserve: a little stylishness every day.
