ABOUT US
The name “Vita” in the footwear industry dates back to 1945.
Vita Shoe Company was a leading shoe manufacturer - and later importer - for over fifty years under the guidance of two generations of Brackstone's. Harry Brackstone sold the company to its current owners in 1999 and the business was renamed Vita Pacific Ltd.
Vita Pacific is New Zealand's most trusted footwear importing company and leads the way with innovation in footwear development and distribution. The experience and knowledge of its people in both footwear and business are paramount to its continued success.
With a strong cross section of both independent retailers, department stores and chain store operations, Vita Pacific is a key supplier to the Australasian market. Vita Pacific is passionate about working closely with retailers, continually developing new product to create multiple seasons that provide profitable footwear solutions for their customers.
