Description: Tāwharau Collection Vol. VI – Up cycled Kākahu (Dress)

One-of-a-kind, second hand denim dress reimagined through a Māori lens and urban flair. Each piece is hand-printed and painted, telling its own indigenous narrative, no two are the same.

Funky, urban Māori fashion meets circular design.
