The Couturier
Jinza Jin became a well-known fashion designer in China for her work on the sets of television shows and for dressing celebrities and other entertainers during her 22 years creating custom couture. The gifted designer was both an alumnus and professor in the department of Fashion Design at China’s esteemed Luxun Academy of Fine Arts. Her lifelong passion for fashion designs and dressmaking parlayed into bridal wear seven years ago and has continually evolved with her talent andcreativity into gowns that are both beautiful and unique. Jinza’s fans recommend her because they’ve seen something exceptional that they could not find anywhere else.
The Atelier
Jinza Couture’s exclusive retail location and production atelier are conveniently located in a charming Victorian nestled on Union Street, like a jewelry box housing Jinza’s gems. Brides can try on a range of gowns or work directly with Jinza to mold a custom creation. Explore popular high fashion styles, updated classics with flattering cuts, a myriad of lace options, unconventional sheaths perfect for the destination wedding or second time around, opulent ball gowns and Jinza’s own signature couture designs.
Each dress is individually sized, crafted in the adjacent atelier and fitted by Jinza. Like other world-class designers, she uses fine French lace, pure silk satin, organza taffeta, crepe and chiffon to create a lavish looking piece. The boutique carries an array of accessories and Jinza styles bridal ensembles that compliment the dress and bride, complete with veil, jewelry and shoes.
Gowns range in price from $2500-$9000 and require a minimum of five to six months for production and fittings. The price of each gown includes the design process, custom pattern, fittings, alterations, bustles, and design modification during the crafting process. Sample gowns are available at 45% off throughout the year, selection and availability dependent on season.
The Experience
Finding the perfect dress is just the beginning! The personalized attention given to brides by Jinza makes the rest of the experience meaningful, memorable and hassle- free.
Tailors with over ten years of experience making bridal gowns make Jinza’s dresses locally at her on-site atelier. A custom pattern is created for each new dress, specifically designed to fit an individual’s specific measurements. Jinza personally executes every fitting to ensure the dress is shaped to meet both Jinza and the client’s expectations. The fittings are spaced in time to account for weight fluctuations and finding the perfect fit. The result?
“ ‘It’s more beautiful that I expected.’ I always hear that.” – Jinza Jin
