VEST PARIS: a handcrafted, responsible vision of technical fashion

In a world where mass production reigns supreme, VEST PARIS stands out for a radically different approach, based on the values of craftsmanship, personalization and durability. Specializing in urban technical apparel, the Parisian brand has chosen to move away from traditional production lines in favor of on-demand manufacturing.

This unique approach, far removed from the model of classic fashion brands and, even more so, from the excesses of fast fashion, not only limits our environmental impact, but also enables us to offer truly exclusive garments.

On-demand production: the opposite of overproduction

One of the fundamental principles of VEST PARIS is not to stock garments. Each jacket ordered enters a production process that lasts no longer than 18 days, to limit the customer's waiting time. On-demand production also makes it possible to customize the model ordered to the buyer's requirements. 

Unlike the big brands, which produce hundreds or even thousands of items to fill shelves and inventories, regularly offering discounts to sell off "dormant" products, VEST PARIS makes each piece only when the customer places an order.

A workshop on a human scale

The garments are designed in a small workshop, where each piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans. This approach guarantees superior quality and rigorous control at every stage of production. Far from huge factories where volume sometimes takes precedence over quality, this workshop embodies French craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Please note that we don't claim that our production is flawless, or that producing in large quantities implies a drop in quality. We simply adapt our production to our offer and the requirements of our users.

A response to overproduction

Large-scale production often leads to unsold stock, surpluses and, inevitably, waste. By manufacturing to order, VEST PARIS eliminates this waste.

Each garment produced already has an owner, which considerably reduces the brand's ecological footprint and addresses a major issue in the textile industry.

Personalization: one jacket, one customer, one story

At VEST PARIS, every garment tells a unique story, that of its owner. By adopting a design-on-demand approach, the brand offers its customers the opportunity to personalize their jacket (almost) entirely.

What customization options are available?

Choosing colors, finishes and details

Customers can choose from a palette of colors and, above all, materials, thanks to our partnership with Loro Piana, to create a piece that reflects their personality.

Whether you prefer a 100% technical fabric or wool or cashmere combined with a technical membrane for a more "classic" and precious look, every detail can be adapted to your preferences.

Choose your level of security

Because every customer's safety needs are different, every jacket is unique.

This customization goes beyond simple aesthetic choices: certain details, such as pockets, linings and above all the level of safety (motorcycle, bicycle and even bulletproof with the V007 model), can be adjusted according to the specific needs of each individual.

An approach that perfectly reflects the brand's values: authenticity, uniqueness and quality.

A commitment to eco-responsible materials

One of the pillars of VEST PARIS' vision is its commitment to the environment. For the brand, creating urban technical clothing should not be at the expense of the planet:

Innovative, sustainable materials

In the design of its garments, VEST PARIS favors performance and eco-responsible materials from partners such as Majocchi, Loro Piana and YKK. The choice of materials is as follows:

  • Recycled textiles, giving a second life to existing resources.
  • Biosourced materials from environmentally-friendly crops.
  • Innovative technical treatments such as waterproof membranes without harmful chemicals.

This rigorous selection guarantees garments that perform well, respect nature and last over time.

More virtuous fashion

Unlike conventional production methods, which consume huge amounts of energy and resources such as water, on-demand manufacturing and the use of eco-responsible materials significantly reduce the carbon footprint of each garment.

Our supplier Majocchi uses the WATER ZERO process to minimize the use of water in the production of certain fabrics. 

Responsible, timeless luxury

The VEST PARIS approach embodies a new definition of luxury. Here, luxury is based on deeper values: respect for the environment, authenticity and handcrafted quality, rather than price, marketing and often even bluster. 

Technical clothing for urban use

The technical jackets designed by VEST PARIS are not only elegantly sober. They're also designed to meet the needs of active city dwellers, whether on bikes, motorcycles or classic footwear.

By combining technical properties such as waterproofing, breathability and insulation with refined design, the brand offers garments that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.

Seductive ethics

In a world where consumers are increasingly looking for transparency and commitment, the VEST PARIS approach is very appealing.

By focusing on local, responsible and almost "made-to-measure" production, the brand involves its customers in a positive approach with meaningful clothing, without making it militant or stigmatizing.

A response to tomorrow's challenges

Fashion is changing, and consumer expectations are evolving. Faced with the climate emergency and a growing awareness of the harmful effects of fashion in general, and fast fashion in particular, brands like VEST PARIS embody a solution for the future:

Combining craftsmanship and technology

By offering technical garments at the cutting edge of innovation, while preserving a traditional production method, VEST PARIS shows that it is possible to reconcile modernity and tradition.

This approach is unique to VEST PARIS and is not necessarily transposable to other brands. Today, if a brand wants to combine the values it has set itself with viability, it has to find the right balance between its production model and the expectations of its customers, and then turn this into a strength. 

A sustainable business model

The choice of on-demand manufacturing is not only good for the environment, but also for the brand's economic viability. By producing only what is sold, VEST PARIS limits the financial risks associated with unsold items, while enhancing customer satisfaction.

Conclusion: VEST PARIS, a new lease of life for technical fashion

With its bold vision and strong values, VEST PARIS sets its own rules for the technical fashion industry. With on-demand manufacturing in a small atelier, infinite customization options and a commitment to eco-responsible materials, the brand offers much more than clothing: it offers a unique and sustainable experience.

When you choose VEST PARIS, you're investing in pieces that combine elegant sobriety, technical performance and respect for the environment, while supporting an ethical and virtuous approach. An inspiring vision for fashion that makes sense, today and for tomorrow.
