Kahurangi Taniko Bodice Piupiu Dress
The Kahurangi Tāniko Bodice Piupiu Dress features our Piupiu print, a design that reflects the strong history of tourism in Rotorua and honours the pioneering spirit of Te Arawa. Introduced just over 100 years ago, the piupiu has become a symbol of cultural performance and storytelling. In this print, Adrienne Whitewood acknowledges Te Arawa as forward-thinking innovators who have led and shaped Māori business and tourism in Aotearoa. It carries the message “Kia mau ki tō ahurea Māori” — Hold on to your Māori culture, and stands as a hopeful tribute to the continued flourishing of Rotorua’s tourism community.
Crafted from printed polyester chiffon, this dress is light, layered, and designed to move. A slip is required underneath (not included) and the piece also styles beautifully paired with leggings. Long chiffon side ties allow you to adjust the fit — wear it more fitted for shape or loose and flowing for a layered silhouette.
Please note: Slip dress is not included.
