New Zealand-made wedding gowns and veils
Leading New Zealand Bridal design since 1959
Bespoke
A partnership between designer & client
A Vinka bespoke gown begins with you.
In close collaboration with Anita, your ideas and inspirations are translated into an entirely original wedding gown, created from the first sketch for one bride alone.
Silhouette, fabric, structure and embellishment are considered in exquisite detail, using exceptional fabrics and laces sourced from around the world. Each gown is then brought to life by our bridal couturiers in the Vinka atelier, the old-fashioned way — by hand.

A New Zealand Bridal Couture House Since 1959
Vinka Design takes its name from its founder, Vinka Lucas MNZM, the pioneering designer and entrepreneur who helped shape modern bridal design in New Zealand. Since opening her first salon in 1959, the Vinka name has become inseparable from romance, craftsmanship and an enduring belief in the significance of a beautifully made wedding gown.
Today, that legacy is carried forward by Vinka’s daughter, designer Anita Turner. Having spent her life immersed in the atelier and mastering the intricacies of her craft, Anita now leads the house with a vision that is both deeply rooted in its history and continually evolving.
Our original collections and bespoke gowns are brought to life by our bridal couturiers in the Vinka Auckland atelier. We work with exceptional fabrics and laces sourced from around the world, combining traditional couture techniques with a sensitive understanding of the woman for whom each gown is being created.
We know that a wedding gown is so much more than a dress. It holds anticipation, emotion and memory within every seam. Whether we are creating a bespoke gown from the first sketch, bringing an original Vinka design to life through the atelier or introducing a bride to a Vinka Studio piece, the journey begins with a shared appreciation for beautiful design, craftsmanship and the significance of finding a gown that feels entirely you
