Introducing the Korowai Tamariki - Pohutukawa Design, a stunning handmade M?ori cloak that celebrates heritage and connection. Measuring 60mm x 60mm, this contemporary Korowai, or Kahu huruhuru Kakahu, draws inspiration from the vibrant Pohutukawa flowers, symbolizing the cycle of life. Perfect for special occasions like hui, graduations, birthdays, or tangi, this elegant cloak is a representation of history, family, and genealogy (whakapapa).
Crafted with care in Auckland, the Korowai Tamariki features machine-stitched feathers on a durable lined fabric base, providing both longevity and aesthetic appeal. The exquisite feathers, sourced from farmed chickens and roosters, come in diverse colors, some of which are beautifully dyed to enhance the design. With drawstring ties, you can easily adjust the width for a comfortable fit.
At the edge, the traditional taniko trim woven from NZ wool highlights the Manaia and Wairua design. This unique pattern features the Manaia symbolizing a spiritual guardian and the poutama pattern, representing a stairway to heaven. The Korowai Tamariki not only serves as a beautiful garment but also plays a vital role in preserving M?ori culture and weaving stories of iwi and wh?nau.

Tamariki Size Korowai - Pohutukawa Design
Size: 60mm x 60mm.
Contemporary Korowai - Kahu huruhuru Kakahu. The colours and design of this Korowai were inspired by the flowers of the Pohutukawa, which symbolises connecting the beginning and end of human life.
M?ori cloaks are most commonly worn on special occasions, whether a significant hui and coming together of people, or significant graduation, birthday or tangi. The cloaks hold stories of our history or wh?nau [family] and whakapapa [genealogy]. They€™re held in the highest regard and worn with the highest form of respect, prestige, and honor.
Our Korowai are handmade in Auckland by machine stitching feathers onto a lined fabric base. The feather wrap around the front edge to complete the look. A traditional handwoven one takes many weeks to complete and costs significantly more. A modern Korowai offers better durability and more colours. Inspiration for the colour and designs from our local fauna and flora. We use beautiful farmed chicken and rooster feathers, some of which have been dyed to create the amazing colour range available in our Korowai selection. Our Korowai have drawstring ties so you can alter the width to fit the wearer. We try to keep a small stock but you should allow a week for production.
The taniko trim has also been woven from wool in NZ. This design is the Manaia and Wairua (spirit) design. It shows the Manaia with poutama (stairway to heaven) above and below. The Manaia is sitting in the Wharenui (ancestral meeting house) symbolizing the bringing of iwi, whanau, and cultures together.
