The Kahu Kiwi Contemporary Korowai offers a modern take on the traditional Kahu Kiwi cloak. Made by Hiria and her whānau in Aotearoa, it reflects Māori values and is carefully crafted with respect. Each korowai is blessed to honor Māori traditions and preserve its mana. This design captures the rare beauty of kiwi feathers in a contemporary style, perfect for those who value cultural heritage.
Each korowai is carefully handmade by Hiria and her family in their Auckland home studio. This size is crafted within 3 weeks, then blessed before being shipped straight to you.
