Description: Tāwharau Collection Vol. II – Upcycled Koti (jacket)
One-of-a-kind, poly/cotton work overalls cut to make a jacket, 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: Mana Motuhake
At its core, self-determination 'is concerned with the fundamental right of people to shape their own lives'. In a practical sense, Self-determination means that we have the freedom to live well, to determine what that means according to our own values and beliefs.
Mana motuhake: (noun) separate identity, autonomy, self-government, self-determination, independence, sovereignty, authority - mana through self-determination and control over one's own destiny.
Features:
✔ Poly/cotton fabric (light weight fabric) ✔ two front pockets
✔ Arms are quite long in length.
