Contemporary Māori Korowai Hire
Couldn't load pickup availability
There are moments in life that deserve to be celebrated with something truly meaningful.
Our Contemporary Māori Korowai Hire collection allows you to wear a handcrafted korowai for graduations, weddings, performances, cultural events and life's special occasions, without the commitment of purchasing.
Each korowai is handcrafted in our West Auckland studio and cared for with the same attention and respect as every piece we create. From babies experiencing their first milestones to adults celebrating life's biggest achievements, our hire collection offers a range of contemporary designs to suit every stage of the journey.
Choose from our Contemporary Collection, Matariki designs including Hiwa and Pīataata, or our full-length statement pieces Tuku Iho and Kahu Kiwi.
More than simply hiring a korowai, we invite you into the Korowai by Hiria studio experience — where every fitting, collection and celebration is part of your story.
