What’s the Cost of Latex? Discover the Value of Vex Latex

When shopping for latex fashion, you’ll find a wide range of prices—and it can be hard to know what makes one garment cost more than another. At Vex, we’ve spent over 25 years perfecting our craft, using premium materials and expert techniques to create garments that are as durable as they are beautiful.

But the cost of latex isn’t just about the material—it’s about the artistry, the craftsmanship, and the experience behind each piece. Here’s what goes into creating a Vex garment and why our customers call it an investment worth making.

Where Beauty Meets Durability

Latex is a stunning material, but not all latex is created equal. At Vex, we use 0.45mm latex sourced from England, chosen for its unmatched quality and performance.

• Stronger and More Durable: While all latex requires careful handling, our 0.45mm latex offers greater durability compared to the 0.33mm latex often used by others. Its thicker composition provides added resilience, helping your garment maintain its integrity over time.
• Perfect Fit and Shape: Our latex holds its shape beautifully, sculpting to the body for a sleek and polished look.
• Enhanced Seam Bonding: The latex we use has a rough side and a shiny side, allowing for stronger, more durable seams that won’t give out over time.

This commitment to quality materials ensures that every Vex garment looks incredible and performs flawlessly.

Crafted by Hand, Inside and Out

The beauty of a Vex garment isn’t just on the surface. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our U.S. studio by a small team of artisans who pour care and precision into every detail.

• Hand-Cut for Precision: Every piece starts as a pattern carefully marked and cut by hand to ensure a perfect fit.
• Immaculate Finishes: We clean and trim every seam, creating an interior that’s just as polished as the outside. Reinforcements in high-stress areas like zippers and underarms ensure your garment lasts through years of wear.
• Polished and Ready to Wear: Unlike other brands, we hand-shine every garment before it leaves our studio. We don’t charge extra for this—it's simply part of our commitment to delivering perfection.

Our handmade approach means that every Vex garment is a unique work of art, created to exceed your expectations.

The Value of Expertise

When you purchase a Vex garment, you’re not just paying for latex—you’re paying for over 25 years of expertise. Our founder, Laura, and her team have spent decades mastering the art of latex fashion, pioneering techniques, and setting trends in the industry.

• Decades of Innovation: From avant-garde designs to timeless classics, we’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of what latex can be.
• Timeless Quality: Many of our customers still wear their Vex pieces from over 20 years ago—a testament to the longevity and craftsmanship of our work.

This expertise and dedication ensure that every Vex garment is designed to be as timeless as it is durable.

Sustainability in Style: Latex and Eco-Friendly Practices

Latex is not only a versatile and beautiful material—it’s also a natural one. Made from the sap of rubber trees, latex is a renewable resource that supports sustainable forestry. At Vex, we’re committed to using this eco-friendly material responsibly and minimizing waste in our production process.

1. A Natural Material: Latex comes from rubber trees, making it a biodegradable alternative to synthetic fabrics. By choosing latex, you’re supporting a material that’s both luxurious and aligned with sustainable practices.

2. Minimizing Waste: At Vex, we believe every piece of latex deserves to shine. That’s why we work to repurpose as much material as possible from our scraps.

   • Accessories: From hair bows to headbands, we create unique, smaller items from leftover pieces of latex.
   • Gift Wrapping: Even the bows for our premium gift packaging are crafted from scraps, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

By taking these extra steps, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also create one-of-a-kind items that add to the Vex experience.
