Aotearoa by Mereana Couture was created by Mereana Heke, a woman whose quiet strength, grace, and vision shaped everything this brand stands for.

Her story, her spirit, and the way she saw beauty in simplicity inspired the very beginning of our journey.

Although Mereana is no longer with us, her legacy remains at the heart of everything we do.

We continue her work with the same dedication, carrying forward the elegance, authenticity, and emotional depth she believed in.

Aotearoa is not tied to a single place — it reflects a feeling, a heritage, and the inspiration we found in her life.

Today, our team upholds the brand she lovingly created, ensuring that every collection honours her vision and the story that moved us.

Through every piece, we celebrate what Mereana began — a timeless legacy we are proud to share with the world.
