Black Korowai Cape
Size: 1050W x 220H mm excluding the cords.
These modern Korowai capes are an exciting way to be able to wear a Korowai. They are extremely popular for weddings and evening wear.
Our Korowai are handmade in Auckland by machine stitching feathers onto a lined fabric base. The feather wrap around the front edge to complete the look. A traditional handwoven one takes many weeks to complete and costs significantly more. A modern Korowai offers better durability and more colours. Inspiration for the colour and designs from our local fauna and flora. We use beautiful farmed chicken and rooster feathers, some of which have been dyed to create the amazing colour range available in our Korowai selection. Our Korowai have drawstring ties so you can alter the width to fit the wearer. We try to keep a small stock but you should allow a week for production.
The taniko trim has also been woven from wool in NZ. This design is the Marena design or wedding design. The triangles represent people. In the centre of the "V" are the bride and groom with the minister in front of them. The outer parts of the "V" show the whanau witnessing the ceremony. The gold thread shows the importance of this day.
I purchased this korowai for my granddaughters who reach the age of 21 years I also have a greenstone taonga that goes with it. I lost a dearly loved grandson I brought up, 14 years old in February and I am about to name the korowai. We the family have taken photos every day since April of the morning star which now my other mokos have named after him the "Tukua star". It is the brightest star in the sky morning and night. Its actually venus the planet. I have the name Matariki which will be embroidered with their individual colours of each star on the top and the tie up will have a golden glittered star representing Tukua . He will sit in the front middle. He will share the limelight with Matariki. Thank you
