Designer Fitting Notes: We designed the Nolita for that easy throw-over-everything vest. It fits true to size. We suggest trying on your standard size to start. If you want a more oversized look then size up. Wear over a sweater or leather jacket or underneath your wool coat, it's that versatile! Note leather will give about a half of size over the lifetime of wear.
Journey To Sustainability
Designed in Bondi Beach, Australia
Sourced this super cosy lambskin shearling from a sustainably certified tannery based in Turkey. The hide is a by-product and was sourced from Spain. West 14th neck and swing tag labels are developed using Oeko-Tex Standard 100% organic cotton certified.
Processed using a chrome base tanning process to develop this colour that is unique to West 14th.
Recycled material is used in the trimming details for this style. Perma Core ECO 100 by A&E is an ethically manufactured, industrial sewing thread, featuring fully recycled polyester.
Manufactured this heirloom piece in Guangdong Province, China with quality control conducted in Hong Kong by our long term boutique manufacturing partners.
Shipped in compostable satchels to our warehouse partners in Ingleburn, NSW Australia and then directly to our women around the globe. Safely packed in West 14th reusable duster bag made in Australia by Sisterworks social enterprise.
