Only 1 available! Meaning this is a ONE-OFF item (although part of a collective no two are the same) x Size: 3XL Description: Tāwharau Collection Vol. II – Up cycled Hāte (Shirt) One-of-a-kind, second hand Shirt 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 sourced and up-cycled with aroha, and designed for the bold, the conscious, and the unapologetically stylish. Each piece is commercially cleaned :) Funky, urban Māori fashion meets circular design. Kaupapa behind the design: KO AU TĒNEI - This is me. At the centre sits a pou design alongside the words Ko Au Tēnei, a declaration of self, of knowing who you are and where you come from. Surrounding the pou are three rings. While the element of three carries many meanings within Te Ao Māori, here they represent whānau: - tamariki within, - mātua surrounding, - and tīpuna beyond. Each layer embracing and holding the next. But like all stories, this one remains open. Open to interpretation. Open to connection. Yours to define through the people, memories and meanings you hold close. Features: ✔ 100% cotton ✔ Two pockets ✔ Straight hem ✔ Mid length ✔ Generous sizing Did you know?
