This beautiful handmade Paua Blue Maori Korowai (Maori feather cloak) is made by a lovely Maori lady of Ngati Porou descent. She blesses each korowai with a karakia.
Please note that the correct Maori name for it is kahu huruhuru, but many people, including Maori, still call it a korowai.
The top of this cloak is finished with a blue, white and black knitted taniko. Feathers used are white at the top, and then a mix of turquoise, green and royal blue to give that paua shell look. The inside of the korowai is lined with black fabric. The cloak is sewn on a sewing machine, making it affordable.
Dimensions (approx):
- Width 45" (114.5cm)
- Length 43 3/4" (111cm)
Wonderful to wear at a wedding, special function, 21st, graduation, or to present as a corporate gift, or to keep as a unique and beautiful piece of Maori art.
NB: Made to order, allow 2-3 weeks (but feel free to email or phone to check if we have one in stock).
To maintain the mana of this beautiful piece of Maori art, please wear the korowai around the shoulders and not under the armpit.
