Wairua Purple: A Spiritual Design

This enchanting design features rich, plum-like purple feathers, beautifully accented with white and black details, and finished with an intricate purple taniko band. These majestic colors embody the qualities of:

  • Spirituality
  • Creativity
  • Connection to the Divine

Inspired by the mystical and spiritual significance of the color purple in Māori culture, this design is a celebration of the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Proud to be Māori made by the Niha whanau (family) business in Aotearoa (New Zealand), each piece is guided by tikanga (cultural customs) and the wisdom of kaumatua (elders). Notably, these unisex pieces have garnered attention in publications like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Tatler, and Glamour Magazine.

The width of this product is 110cm and it comes with 60cm corded ties. For the most accurate measurement, we suggest measuring around your upper chest, shoulders, and upper back. The majority of buyers will find that they fit within the 100-130cm width range.

When choosing the right length, keep in mind that the Quarter length is 40cm, the Half Length is 60cm, and the Full Length is 100cm. To ensure you make the best selection, measure from your shoulder point down the side of your body.

Every Kākahu we make comes with a special blessing, honoring the tradition of blessing taonga. This helps maintain the mana of each event we celebrate while wearing the korowai, and teaches respect for our māori taonga.
