Nga Whakarua Kōkōwai o te Pēpi - The Repeated Kōkōwai Patterns of the Baby

Translates: The Repeated Kōkōwai Patterns of the Baby (Pēpi Kākahu)

Product Description

The Ngā Whakarua Kōkōwai o te Pēpi Pēpi Kākahu is a handcrafted taonga inspired by repeated kōkōwai patterns that symbolise continuity, protection, whakapapa, and the precious journey of a baby. The flowing design in rich green, black, white, and earthy kōkōwai tones reflects connection to whenua, ancestral strength, and the aroha that surrounds a pēpi from generation to generation.

Beautifully made with layered feathers and a carefully woven tāniko band, this kākahu is more than an adornment — it is a meaningful keepsake created to honour identity, celebrate milestones, and become a treasured family heirloom.

Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted with care in Aotearoa, carrying story and significance in every detail.
