Seeking a unique treasure from Aotearoa?

Our Māori piupiu offers a rare glimpse into the heart of New Zealand's rich heritage.

This isn't merely a skirt; it’s a wearable testament to identity, ancestry, and the vibrant spirit of the Māori people, famously seen in the haka.

Feel the deep cultural resonance as each strand tells a story, unique to its design and the weaver's touch.

Crafted with reverence, every piupiu starts with the native harakeke, New Zealand flax, gathered with respect for the environment.

The artistry continues through a precise, traditional method of fibre preparation, where natural pigments from the earth create its distinctive dark and light contrasts.

Experience the ingenious design as the flax naturally curls and softens, ensuring that mesmerizing movement and subtle, rhythmic sound.

Finally, a hand-plaited waistband, often adorned with stunning tāniko patterns, completes this culturally profound garment.

Bring home the spirit of New Zealand; secure your authentic piupiu now and connect with its enduring legacy.
