Pākē Piu

Pākē Piu | Stacey Moana Smith 

Embrace the tradition and artistry of Aotearoa with this Pākē Piu (rain cape) by Stacey Moana Smith. A stunning contemporary take on traditional Māori weaving, this garment is crafted with meticulous attention to texture and movement.

The cape features a rich, multi-tonal body woven in shades of deep plum, burgundy, and violet harakeke providing a warm and sophisticated base.

It is defined by its characteristic piupiu-style fringe, long, dried cylinders that cascade in layers to create a rhythmic rustle and dynamic visual effect with every movement.

Designed to be worn over the shoulders, the Pākē Piu is both a functional protective layer and a significant piece of wearable art. 

It serves as a powerful connection to ancestral weaving techniques, reimagined for a modern context.
