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.
Every design 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.
