We do better because it’s who we are

De Vere opened its doors in Auckland more than 30 years ago. But we started decades before with a little boy watching seamstresses at work in New Delhi. That’s where our passion for both fashion and fairness began.

At De Vere we deliver ethically minded, custom-designed apparel for New Zealand businesses – without any compromise in quality, service or standards. We love creative conversations with our clients and work with suppliers to ensure fully traceable supply chains. Most of all, we respect the people who make and wear our uniforms and the environment in which they live.

Kiwi businesses we work with

We work with every kind of business and organisation – from sports teams to corporate and frontline staff – to supply ethical-made and sustainable textiles – from uniforms and apparel to PPE.

Services we offer

From custom designing solutions with you to ensuring old textiles don’t end up in landfills, we work to deliver over-and-above for you.

  • We provide full design services and create bespoke items to your specifications. We also customise new or existing styles, adding that personal touch with print, embroidery, patches and badges.

  • Our team accurately develops products, taking meticulous care in every step of the process. From design through to testing, our holistic approach ensures that every product is not only a result of careful planning and expert execution but a testament to our dedication to exceeding client expectations.

  • We source from both local and offshore fabric mills to find the right fabrics for your business. We know our makers by name and, because our supply chain is vertically integrated, we’re in full control of your job at every stage. No excuses. No surprises.

  • We have a tight knit team in our central warehouses. They're experts in inventory management and distribution, and you can deal with them directly. They can help you with all order enquiries and more.

  • We take care of your inventory, so you can take care of business. Placing purchase orders, generating accurate size curves and production quantities – we can do it all for you. Our predictive systems can also manage and track delivery timeframes, and reduce your environmental impact.

  • We run end-of-life initiatives in collaboration with local social enterprises. Our goal is to divert as many items from landfill as possible. When items are in good condition, we clean, repurpose and redirect them to communities that have use for them.

  • "De Vere have been easy to work with. They've done a lot of work to partner with us around our needs and improve both the durability and circularity of materials for our uniforms."

    Terri Gannon | AT Procurement Specialist

  • “I had previously used De Vere to design and manufacture the uniforms for one of New Zealand’s largest brand changes. So when I joined Fortysouth and needed some merchandise and PPE they were first on my list to call. On both occasions Anthony has provided outstanding customer service. He really knows the industry and products, listens to what you need and is proactive throughout the order to delivery. The range and quality of the merchandise and the associated prices are excellent. I’d recommend Anthony and his team for any requirements you may have.”
