Kia ora! We're Korowai by Hiria, a business born out of passion and dedication to the traditional Māori art of korowai-making. Our journey began with a love for weaving and a desire to share the beauty of korowai with the world. With each thread, we weave together stories, traditions, and a deep connection to our culture.
Mission and Values
At Korowai by Hiria, our mission is to create stunning, handcrafted korowai that not only warm the body but also nourish the soul. We're driven by values of:
Manaakitanga (respect and care): We honor the tradition and cultural significance of korowai.
Kaitiakitanga (stewardship): We care for our materials, our craft, and our community.
Auahatanga (creativity): We innovate while staying true to our roots.
Korowai Significance
Korowai are more than just garments; they're a symbol of love, respect, and connection. Each korowai tells a story, and we're humbled to be a part of yours.
