New Zealand designer, Nicole Rebstock, is known for her use of rich colours and timeless feminine silhouettes. Inspired by her European heritage and fashion abroad, the designer’s story is an inspiration for many, bravely stepping away from a traditional career in the law to become a designer and entrepreneur.
Nicole’s designs are thoughtfully developed with a firm grounding in 'forever fashion'; a belief that real beauty does not date. She touches on trends in a considered way, celebrating bold new colour palettes and concepts but preserving a timeless quality that allows the wearer to love their shoes for seasons to come.
Attention to detail is core to Nicole’s ethos, with comfort being as important as aesthetic design. Nicole works at length with her manufacturing team, determining the exact shape and fit of her shoes, perfecting them for New Zealand women.
Each pair of Nicole Rebstock shoes is carefully handcrafted through over 200 intricate processes, using premium quality leathers and components.
For the designer, wearing Nicole Rebstock is not just simply wearing a pair of shoes; rather, it is a feeling and symbol of what can be achieved when we push ourselves and dare to fulfil our dreams. . .
I love beautiful things.
We have that in common.
So please accept my gift to you.
Your very own pair of shoes designed with love, by me.
I know you will look beautiful in them.
Wear them proudly. Their story holds an important message.
I was on a path so far from this.
I loved shoes but the creation of this seemed impossible.
I was told it was risky for a young woman.
But one morning I began drawing.
I disregarded the boundaries and built this from scratch.
Be brave.
The boundaries are built in your head.
Break them and you will uncover a world full of possibilities.
Yours truly,
Proudly New Zealand designed and owned.
