Description:
Tāwharau Collection Vol. II – Upcycled Overalls
One-of-a-kind, 100% cotton work overalls 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. These are locally sourced, up-cycled with aroha, and designed for the bold, the conscious, and the unapologetically stylish. Funky, urban Māori fashion meets circular design.
Kaupapa behind the design: Hinepūkohurangi (The Mist Maiden)
An atua of quiet strength, Hinepūkohurangi is the essence of Tūhoetanga, cloaked in beauty, grounded in whenua, dressed by the kohu (mist).
Each night she would bathe in the puna at Ōnini with her sister Hinewai — a sacred place nestled deep in the heart of Te Urewera. There, beneath a blanket of stars, they shared laughter, kōrero, and sisterhood.
Her presence is soft, her mana undeniable, and her voice like waiata on the wind, calling out..
It was this call that drew Te Maunga from the heavens. Not just by her beauty, but by the depth of her spirit.
This garment is a tribute to her Mist maiden, lover of the sky, She who reminds us that grace holds power, and the universe listens to those who move with intention.
Features:
✔ 100% cotton fabric (heavy weight fabric) ✔ Four front pockets
✔ One back pocket ✔ Overall arms and legs are quite long in length.
