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.

Handmade by Hiria and her whānau in Aotearoa, the Wairua Purple Contemporary Korowai honors Māori traditions with guidance from kaumatua. Each korowai is carefully crafted in their Auckland studio, blessed to maintain its mana, and shipped within three weeks. This special piece connects you to Māori heritage and is made with care and respect.
