The Kia Māia earrings feature a mangopare pattern flowing down toffee coloured satin. The pattern is an ode to strength and tenacity. The long satin ribbons pay homage to historical images of tāne and wāhine adorning their ears in similar ways.
Kia Māia. Be brave.
For we are here to stand beside you.
Lush rich toffee coloured satin ribbon earrings featuring a mangōpare design.
