This beautiful Purple and Paua Maori Korowai contains a mix of purple, cerise, white and paua (greeny blue) feathers, accented with a purple taniko at the top. The combination looks regal.
This Maori feather cloak is made by a lovely Maori lady 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.
The correct name for the cloak is kahu huruhuru, but most people still use the word korowai to describe these cloaks.
The inside of the korowai is lined with black fabric.The cloak is sewn on a sewing machine, making it affordable.
We usually keep this in stock, but if we need to make to order, allow 3 weeks.
Dimensions (approx):
Width 41' (104cm)
Length 41' (104cm)
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.
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).
Shipped worldwide from New Zealand.
