Korowai by Hiria

Our Contemporary Korowai Collection is a living expression of whakapapa, reimagined for today.

Each korowai is designed and handcrafted to honour the traditions of our tīpuna while responding to the realities of modern life. These pieces are not ceremonial replicas, but contemporary taonga — created to be worn, gifted, displayed, and lived with.

Drawing on natural fibres, refined textures, and intentional colour palettes, every design carries meaning without being bound to a single moment or occasion. The silhouettes are versatile, the craftsmanship deliberate, and the finishes elevated, allowing each korowai to sit comfortably in both personal and professional spaces.

Korowai by Hiria designs are often commissioned to mark significant milestones — graduations, leadership appointments, business achievements, birthdays, and moments of transition. They are also chosen as heirloom pieces, created with the understanding that they will carry stories forward for generations.

This collection reflects balance:
tradition and innovation,
strength and softness,
ancestral knowledge and contemporary expression.

Each korowai is made with care, intention, and respect — acknowledging where we come from, while celebrating where we are going.
