Laybuy
Size: 1050W x 220H mm excluding the cords.
The Kākahu Huruhuru are handmade in Auckland by machine stitching feathers onto a lined fabric base. The feather wrap around the front edge to complete the look. A traditional handwoven Korowai takes many weeks to complete and costs significantly more. A modern Kākahu Huruhuru offers durability and more colours. Inspiration for the colour and designs from our local fauna and flora. The feathers are chicken and rooster, some of which have been dyed. The Kākahu Huruhuru have drawstring ties so you can alter the width to fit the wearer.
The taniko trim has also been woven from wool in NZ. This design is the Marena design or wedding design. The triangles represent people. In the centre of the "V" are the bride and groom with the minister in front of them. The outer parts of the "V" show the whanau witnessing the ceremony. The gold thread shows the importance of this day.
