A vintage piece an English Woollen jacket, we wanted to move away from once would have been the conservative style of what this jacket would have been, into today playing with adding denim sleeves, kupu Māori in yellow stitching and a pop of blue.

Tuihana Collection
Whakapapa inspired. Thoughtfully curated collection of reimagined, thrifted and preloved kākahu, vintage suits, jackets, and ties. Every piece is one of one. Unique.
With details of denim and organza sleeves, hand-stitched kupu Māori of hauora, aroha and wellbeing. Woven through each garment, created to uplift and inspire the wearer.
To bring a smile. To spark joy, play and fun. To invite reflection, a moment to pause, hā and rongoā.
Grounded in whakapapa, created with love and minimal waste, to te taiao.
This collection was inspired, whatever your identity, whakapapa, to wear with confidence, connection, and intention.
Enjoy!
With much aroha from me to you
