"Hutia te rito o te harakeke,
Kei whea te kōmako e kō?
Kī mai ki ahau;
He aha te mea nui o te Ao?
Māku e kī atu,
he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata

If the heart of harakeke was removed, where will the bellbird sing?
If I was asked, what was the most important thing in the world;
I would be compelled to reply, It is people, it is people, it is people!" Maori proverb

Keeping the old art of (Mahi Raranga) Maori Flax Weaving alive and promoting it within the closer and wider community was our original goal - but now of course it is a full time business.

We are making the usual items for a weaver - Kete, Backpack, Wall Art and Hats but also the more uncommon things like Piupiu (yes also for Kapa Haka groups) and anything in between.

We follow traditional maori tikanga (customs) and work with sustainable materials (such as Harakeke - NZ Flax. Kiekie, Pingao and Kuta).

Most of our products are safe to be taken or sent Overseas - including Australia the US and Europe.
