This modern Kākahu emulates the traditional Kahu Kiwi cload. Authentic Kahu Kiwi are a cherished treasure, either on display in museums or passed down through families. Kiwi feathers are rare to the average person, but we have managed to create a contemporary Kākahu design with a similar aesthetic for those who appreciate this look.
Proudly Māori-made by Hiria and her whānau in Aotearoa, our pieces are guided by tikanga and kaumatua wisdom. Featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Tatler, and Glamour Magazine. Every korowai comes with a special blessing, honoring the tradition of blessing taonga. This maintains the mana and teaches respect for our Māori treasures.
Important Care Instructions
To preserve the beauty of this delicate design:
- Take care when sitting to avoid damaging the feathers
- We recommend removing the korowai when sitting and laying it on your lap
- Wear on special occasions to maintain its pristine appearance in photos
Please note: No refunds are available for feather damage, especially in the seating area.
