A contemporary korowai inspired by leadership, courage and the legacy we leave behind.
The Rangatira Red Contemporary Korowai is handcrafted in our West Auckland studio and created to honour those who lead with purpose, humility and heart.
Inspired by the qualities of a rangatira, this design celebrates the people who encourage others, carry responsibility with integrity and leave every place better than they found it. Leadership is not always about standing in front—it is often found in quiet acts of service, resilience and unwavering commitment to whānau and community.
Its rich red tones symbolise strength, determination and achievement, creating a contemporary design that carries both presence and meaning. Whether worn for graduation, a leadership role, a wedding, cultural celebration or another significant milestone, Rangatira Red is designed to mark moments that deserve to be remembered.
Every korowai is Ava-crafted by hand using premium materials and made especially for you. No two are exactly the same, making each piece as unique as the journey of the person who wears it.
Available in Small to 3XL and offered in Cape, Quarter, Half and Full Length options, Rangatira Red is designed to celebrate achievements today while becoming a treasured taonga for generations to come.
From our studio to your whānau, this is more than a garment. It is a reflection of courage, responsibility and the enduring legacy of leading with mana.
