Nip2Lip
PVD Born. New England Rooted.
From the bottle
to your lip.
The brand
Nip2Lip is a Providence-born streetwear brand inspired by a piece of New England language and culture.
Across the country, 50 mL bottles may be called minis, shots, or airplane bottles. In New England, we know them as nips.
Nip2Lip takes that familiar regional language and transforms it into original streetwear, limited apparel drops, goods, and creative storytelling.
The name
The nip to the lip
The name comes from a simple play on words: from the nip to the lip. It is memorable, playful, and immediately recognizable to people familiar with New England’s use of the word “nip.”
From the bottle to your lip.
New England roots
New England Rooted
Nip2Lip represents New England identity expressed through streetwear. The brand takes regional sayings, experiences, humor, places, memories, and references and reimagines them through original designs and limited releases.
Our goal is to build something people from New England immediately recognize while introducing that language and creativity to audiences beyond the region.
Origin
PVD Born
Nip2Lip was established in Providence, Rhode Island in 2026. Providence is the birthplace of the brand and an important part of its identity, while the larger vision represents New England as a whole.
