Hey, I’m Toprak, one of the co-owners behind Velvet Lux. I’m originally from Türkiye and moved to New Zealand when I was four, growing up in Tauranga. I recently made the move to Queenstown and quickly fell in love with the place and its lifestyle. 

I’ve always had a passion for cars, so I decided to turn that passion into something of my own.

Kia Ora,

I’m Bailey, a born-and-raised Kiwi from Tauranga. Driven by ambition, I moved to Queenstown in 2022 to surround myself with a motivating environment and pursue something of my own.

With a lifelong passion for cars and a love for making them look and feel their best, I helped create Velvet Lux—a brand built on genuine enthusiasm, attention to detail, and doing things properly.

Kia Ora,

My name is Kane. I am a born and raised New Zealander originally from Tauranga. I have always been someone who enjoys staying busy, learning new things, and pushing myself to do better. From a young age, I’ve had a strong interest in cars and anything hands-on, and I’ve always enjoyed figuring out how things work and finding ways to improve them.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more focused on building something for myself and creating my own path. I moved to Queenstown in 2025 to chase my dreams of being a business owner. I’m still young, but I’ve always had big goals for my future, and I’m constantly looking for new ways to grow, challenge myself and turn the things I’m passionate about into something meaningful.
