Chocolate and Jade Maori Korowai

This korowai is one originally specially made for Nadine in Australia.

It has a jade green, black and white taniko, a row of tiny jade and brown feathers, then chocolate and jade green feathers, followed by white, brown, white and chocolate/jade green.

Proudly made by a kuia of Ngati Porou descent.  She was shown the method of making the korowai by a Northland kuia, and she blesses each korowai with a karakia.

Please note that the correct Maori name for it is kahu huruhuru, but many people, including Maori, still call it a korowai.

The inside of the korowai is lined with black fabric. The cloak is sewn on a sewing machine, making it affordable.

Dimensions (approx):
Width 39" (99cm)
Length 43" (110cm)

Wonderful to wear at a wedding, special function, 21st, graduation, or to present as a corporate gift, or to keep as a unique and beautiful piece of Maori art.

NB: Usually in stock; if not in stock will be made to order, allow 2-3 weeks.

To maintain the mana of this beautiful piece of Maori art, please wear the korowai around the shoulders and not under the armpit.

SPECIAL NOTE RE SHIPPING : If you are having this shipped internationally, please select Economy Courier or Express Courier only. The item is too valuable to ship by Airmail, which does not carry sufficient insurance.

Purchase the korowai on its own, or in a deluxe black gift box (with clear lid).  Perfect for special presentations. (Please note that the gift box photo is a representative one, showing a different korowai, but you will receive the korowai described above).
