Some stories can only be told once.

Our Custom Korowai Collection offers you the opportunity to create a contemporary korowai that is uniquely yours—designed to reflect your whakapapa, achievements, values and vision.

Working closely with our Creative Director, Hiria, each custom design is thoughtfully developed through a collaborative design process. Together, we'll explore your preferred colours, feather layout, tāniko, symbolism and the story you wish your korowai to tell.

Whether you're celebrating a graduation, wedding, leadership role, cultural achievement or creating a treasured whānau taonga, every custom korowai is handcrafted with intention, care and respect.

Each design is individually made in our Auckland studio using premium materials, our exclusive Signature Tāniko Band, and the craftsmanship Korowai by Hiria is known for.

No two custom korowai are ever the same.

Your story deserves a design that is as unique as the journey that brought you here.

Dimensions

Nau mai, Haere mai, Welcome.

We'd love to help you find your perfect fit. Just as we would if you were visiting us in person, we'll walk you through each step together.

Step One

Step Two

Now let's find your perfect fit.

The great thing about our korowai is that they're designed to sit comfortably over your clothing. A quick measurement around your upper chest and shoulders will help us recommend the best size.

Size Fits Chest Measurement
Small 95–105 cm
Medium 105–115 cm
Large 115–125 cm
XL 125–135 cm
2XL 135–145 cm
3XL 145–155 cm

 

Still deciding? That's completely okay.

If we were together in the studio, we'd simply chat through your options. You can still do that from home. Just reach out with your preferred length, color and approximate measurements and we will help match you to the perfect fit.
