This leather wrist cuff is a contemporary piece of wearable art emanating nostalgic charm. Drawing inspiration from design elements found in traditional Māori meeting houses and the intricate patterns of Ta Moko, it seamlessly blends traditional Māori aesthetics with modern flair. The result bridges the old and the new, exuding both authenticity and cultural significance.

Kowhaiwhai are traditional patterns characterized by their flowing, curvilinear appearance. These patterns are a prominent feature in Māori art and decoration, most commonly associated with the painted adornments on the rafters of wharenui (Māori meeting houses). They hold deep symbolic meaning, representing various natural elements, stories, tribal lineage, and other cultural concepts important to Māori.
