A contemporary korowai inspired by clarity, confidence and new opportunities.
The Kingfisher Blue Contemporary Korowai is handcrafted in our West Auckland studio and created for the moments that mark new beginnings and lasting achievements.
Inspired by the vibrant colours of the kōtare (kingfisher), this design represents focus, resilience and the confidence to step forward. Like the bird itself—calm, observant and purposeful—it reminds us that strength is often found in patience, preparation and knowing when to take flight.
Its striking blue tones reflect the beauty of Aotearoa's skies and waterways, creating a contemporary design that feels both bold and timeless. Whether worn across a graduation stage, at a wedding, during a performance or in celebration of a personal milestone, Kingfisher Blue is designed to honour your story with pride.
Every korowai is Ava-crafted by hand using premium materials and made especially for you. No two are exactly the same, making each piece a unique expression of the person who wears it.
Available in Small to 3XL and offered in Cape, Quarter, Half and Full Length options, Kingfisher Blue is designed to suit a wide range of occasions while becoming a treasured taonga for years to come.
From our studio to your whānau, this is more than a garment. It is a celebration of courage, purpose and the confidence to embrace whatever comes next.

"Beautiful kākahu and a treasure that will be passed down."
"I purchased my korowai from Hiria for my graduation celebrations, and also as a longterm whānau heirloom. Since i placed my order, it was nothing but manaaki and clear communication from Hiria and the team to give me progress updates and also answer any pātai that I had. On my big special day, it was the highlight piece of my day and completed my journey as i walked across the big stage. Definitely will recommend Hiria and the team to other whānau, friends, and colleagues! Also will purchase from you and the team again!"
"We received the most beautiful taonga. I needed it delivered quickly, and they accommodated my request with ease and no stress. I highly recommend anyone to purchase their Korowai from this amazing kaupapa Māori business. Ngā mihi nui!"
