Piupiu Print Dress - Mid Length
The Piupiu Print Dress – Mid Length 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. Through 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.
