Taonga Tipu – Harakeke

 Strength • Resilience • Connection

Inspired by one of Aotearoa’s most treasured native plants, Harakeke has long symbolised the strength of whānau, the importance of nurturing future generations, and the unbreakable bonds that connect us. In Te Ao Māori, the rito (centre shoot) represents the child, protected and embraced by the surrounding leaves, reminding us that love, care, and whakapapa are at the heart of who we are.

Designed to be worn close to your heart, it is a meaningful taonga that celebrates strength, resilience, and the enduring connections we share with those we love.

Ka tupu te harakeke, ka ora te whānau.

As the harakeke flourishes, so too does the whānau.
