Our latest collection for Matariki 2025 features the Tuku Iho contemporary Korowai, which celebrates Māori heritage by sharing the wisdom of elders with younger generations. Offered in three fresh colors inspired by the Ruru, Ruaumoko, and Tamanuitera, this full-length korowai embodies a rich story of ancestral legacy. Crafted with love and respect, it helps preserve cultural identity and honors the unique spirit of Aotearoa.

Each korowai is carefully handmade by Hiria and her family in their Auckland home studio. This size is crafted within 3 weeks, then blessed before being shipped straight to you.
