Product Detail

This Short Gold Korowai Cape is perfect for graduations or other ceremonies where it provides the look of a korowai without the full length.  Particularly good for those of Ngati Whatua or Taranaki descent, due to the gold iwi colour.

This korowai, or kahu huruhuru to be exact, is made by a Maori lady of Ngati Porou descent.   She learned the art of making korowai from a Northland kuia.

It has a Gold, Black and White knitted taniko top, with gold and jade feathers below. If you want different coloured feathers, let us know. You can choose different coloured feathers here.

The taniko has a patiki design, which spiritually means abundance, prosperity, and care of others.

This korowai measures approximately 1m wide, and 20cm (8') deep.  It is lined with black fabric.

NB: If we are out of stock at the time you order, allow 2 weeks for it to be made.

Proudly Maori made in New Zealand, and shipped worldwide.

The korowai is also available in a deluxe black gift box - perfect if this is a presentation piece.  The photo of the boxed short korowai is a representative photo, showing one of our other short korowai boxed.
