Design Story

The Paua shell — known as abalone — is one of New Zealand's most iconic natural treasures, prized for its stunning iridescent colors that shift from deep blue to green to purple in the light. In Maori culture, the Paua shell is used in carvings and taonga (treasures) to represent the eyes of ancestors. The Koru is the unfurling fern frond — a symbol of new life, growth, and peace — while the Kowhaiwhai scroll patterns are the flowing, rafter paintings of the wharenui (meeting house) that tell the stories of whakapapa (genealogy). Together in a white casual shirt, these sacred Maori symbols create a garment of quiet beauty and deep cultural meaning.

Perfect for Waitangi Day and New Zealand cultural events, Matariki celebrations and Maori heritage occasions, casual everyday wear for New Zealand heritage enthusiasts, and gifts for women who carry the beauty and spirit of Aotearoa with them.
