Description
Introducing the exquisite Korowai - Paua, a contemporary Kahu huruhuru Kakahu that beautifully embodies the essence of Maori culture. Measuring 1m x 1m, this stunning cloak is inspired by the natural beauty of the Paua shell, which symbolizes good luck and peace for the wearer. Perfect for significant occasions such as hui, graduations, birthdays, and tangi, the Korowai holds profound stories of our history, Whanau, and whakapapa, reflecting prestige and honor.
Handmade in Auckland, each Korowai is crafted with meticulous care, utilizing machine-stitched rich feathers on a lined fabric base. The vibrant feather wrap gracefully envelops the front edge, offering a modern twist while ensuring durability compared to traditional handwoven designs. Our intricate color palette draws inspiration from New Zealand’s unique fauna and flora, featuring beautiful farmed chicken and rooster feathers, some dyed for an additional pop of color.
Designed with practicality in mind, our Korowai comes equipped with adjustable drawstring ties for a comfortable fit, allowing easy width adjustment. Although we maintain a small stock, please allow a week for production to ensure the highest quality.
The stunning taniko trim, woven from wool in New Zealand, showcases the Manaia and Wairua (spirit) design, signifying the connection of iwi, Whanau, and cultures. Adorn yourself with our Korowai - Paua and wear not just a cloak, but a story steeped in tradition and artistry.
We close from 23rd Dec 2025 until 12th Jan 2026. Orders placed after 23 Dec 2025 will be dispatched once we reopen.
