Pīataata is a striking all-black korowai designed to embody strength, elegance and quiet confidence.

Handcrafted in Aotearoa, this contemporary piece features our exclusive Signature Tāniko Band and is finished with a refined woven pattern detail. The result is a modern korowai that carries both cultural depth and timeless style.

The name Pīataata reflects brilliance and radiance — the way light subtly catches each feather, creating movement, texture and presence. Though monochromatic, every detail has been carefully considered to deliver a bold yet understated look.

Perfect for graduations, weddings, leadership events, performances and other significant occasions, Pīataata is designed for those who want to stand with confidence and mana.

Each korowai is made to order in our Auckland studio, ensuring a piece that is uniquely yours.
