Pīataata Nouveau Kākahu is a sleek and sexy Tāne (men) and Wāhine (women) design. Featuring a unique shimmering gold Niho Taniwha taniko band design, it's the perfect accessory to elevate any occasion - from university graduations to evening awards ceremonies and performances. It has been featured on Vogue Oct 2022 Issue and was also worn by Kaiora Tipene at the Queen Elizabeths funeral.
Please note that each design is made to order and handmade by me, so orders can take 2-4 weeks depending on our order queue. If you need your Korowai sooner, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. Thanks, Hiria.

These Korowai are categorised as FRAGILE GARMENTS and need special care and attention to see it last as a multi-generational heirloom.
Spot clean only - do not machine wash or handwash. Do not twist or wring. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Never iron. Due to the fragile nature of the feathers, you will risk damaging your Korowai if you do not follow these strict care instructions.
If you must spot clean your Korowai, do not hang it in direct or strong sunlight as this can damage and cause your feather colours to fade over time. Let it dry out in the shade.
