Chinese Wedding Dresses, Qipao & Tang Suits – Bespoke Couture

For over two decades, clients around the world have experienced the beauty of true bespoke design through JINZA

JINZA was founded in 2002 in San Francisco by designer Jinza Jin, and and continued in Los Angeles by her apprentice Grace Pei since 2011. Together, they continue the tradition of creating heirloom Qipao, Cheongsam, and Tang suits. Each piece is made one at a time, cut, embroidered, and tailored to the client’s individual pattern.

Every design tells a story of heritage and artistry that bring it to life.
