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.

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.
