Te Kuini Kākahu

Our Te Kuini Kākahu is a one-of-a-kind couture bridal piece, inspired by the traditional korowai and handcrafted with care and cultural significance. Designed specifically for brides, this kākahu embodies elegance, strength, and culture. The crystal-embellished pātiki (flounder) pattern symbolizes abundance, adaptability, and resilience—qualities that beautifully mirror a bride’s journey as she steps into a new chapter.

This kākahu holds a special place in my heart, as it honors my passion for bridal couture and my deep connection to Māori culture. By offering this unique piece, I hope to bring brides a sense of beauty, pride, and a profound connection to heritage on their wedding day.
