Hiwa-i-te-rangi Kahu
Handcrafted in our Auckland studio and available to ship within 10+ business days, Hiwa-i-te-rangi embodies the abundant spirit of the season and is known as the "star of wishes" in Māori culture.
This stunning design is perfect for your upcoming wedding, adding an elegant and culturally-rich touch to your all-white ensemble. For a complete look, pair it with our Pīataata, as seen in our newlyweds photoshoot.
Note that the feathers on this design are bleached and will gradually change to a beige brown shade, so we recommend using it for special occasions to fully display its clean, white appearance in professional photos. Please keep in mind that this design is only available in a quarter length due to this characteristic, and we cannot offer refunds for this reason.
