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.
