Ngapuhi Newborn Māori Baby Korowai: A Cherished Gift

Welcome a new Ngapuhi baby (pepi) with a truly special gift: a beautifully crafted Māori baby korowai. This isn't just a blanket; it's a symbol of heritage, love, and protection, perfect for your own little one or as a treasured gift for mokopuna (grandchildren).

A Gift of Tradition and Meaning

A korowai (also known as kahu huruhuru in Māori) is traditionally a cloak, and this miniature version is ideal for newborns. Imagine capturing a precious photo of your baby wrapped in this beautiful garment! It's also perfect for a special presentation or to hang on the wall as a treasured keepsake. Consider displaying it in a glass-fronted box.

Craftsmanship and Design

This korowai is machine sewn with care by a skilled Māori artisan from Auckland, New Zealand. The dimensions are approximately 37cm x 39cm (14 1/2" x 15 1/4"). The taniko (decorative border) features vibrant red, white, and black colors. The feathers are predominantly white, transitioning to black, with a shimmering sheen reminiscent of the Tui bird.

Presentation and Shipping

For a truly special presentation, consider the deluxe black gift box option. This korowai is proudly Māori-made and ships worldwide, allowing you to share this beautiful piece of heritage no matter where you are.

A perfect way to welcome the newest member of your whānau (family).
