Introducing the Korowai - Ruru, a stunning contemporary cloak that beautifully marries tradition and modern craftsmanship. Measuring 1m x 1m, this Korowai embodies the spirit of the Ruru, or Morepork, a revered figure in Maori mythology known for its wisdom and connection to the spirit world. Our handcrafted Korowai serves as the perfect accessory for special occasions, from significant hui (gatherings) to graduations, birthdays, and tangihanga (funerals). Each piece is steeped in cultural significance, representing the stories of whanau (family) and whakapapa (genealogy) with elegance and grace.
Expertly crafted in Auckland, the Korowai features meticulously machine-stitched feathers derived from beautiful farmed chicken and rooster, enhanced with a range of vibrant, dyed colors inspired by New Zealand’s rich indigenous flora and fauna. The front edge is skillfully adorned with feather wraps, while the traditional taniko trim is woven from high-quality wool, showcasing the Manaia and Wairua motifs that symbolize unity and connection.
Designed for durability and aesthetic appeal, the drawstring ties allow for adjustable fitting, ensuring a comfortable wear for everyone. While traditional handwoven Korowai can take weeks and are more costly, our modern approach blends quality with affordability. Each cloak embodies respect, prestige, and is made with the utmost care. Experience the essence of Maori culture with the Korowai - Ruru, and wear it with pride at your next special event. Please allow a week for production as we maintain small stocks for personalized crafting.
