Iwi Taniko Customisation

Honour your Iwi through colour. The Whakapapa Tāniko option allows you to personalise your korowai using the exclusive KBH Signature Tāniko pattern, thoughtfully recreated in the colours of your iwi, hapū, rohe or even kapahaka rōpu. While the pattern itself remains uniquely KBH, the colours are carefully selected to reflect your chosen iwi, creating a contemporary korowai that carries both personal meaning and cultural connection. Choose from our growing collection of iwi colourways, including Ngāpuhi, Ngāi Tahu, Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Kahungunu, Tūhoe, Te Arawa, Ngāti Porou and many more. If your iwi isn't listed, we'll work with you to create the appropriate colourway. Whether you're celebrating a graduation, representing your iwi, honouring your whakapapa or creating a meaningful gift, the Whakapapa Tāniko option adds another layer of meaning to your korowai. Please note: This option customises the colours of the exclusive KBH Signature Tāniko pattern. The pattern itself remains unchanged and is exclusive to Korowai by Hiria. Available as an optional upgrade across selected KBH collections.
