The Koruru is traditionally carved in wood and placed at the gable of a wharenui (meeting house). Often depicted as a stylised face with large owl-like eyes, it represents the guardian figure of the ancestral house.

Cut from a piece of soft, supple leather, this folded wallet is hand-stitched to last. Compact and functional, it slips easily into your pocket while carrying just what you need. Inside, three internal pouches let you organise cards your way, plus one quick-access slot for the one you reach for most. There’s also space to tuck in a folded note or two.

Kiwi Country Leather crafts each piece in New Zealand using premium full-grain leather and generations of time-honoured skill. Inspired by Aotearoa’s unique flora, fauna, and traditional Māori carving, the designs celebrate authenticity and natural beauty. Every hide is carefully chosen to preserve its unique character. Durable and resilient, the leather ages beautifully, developing a rich patina that deepens over time. Every mark and change reflects its journey, creating a piece that becomes more individual and meaningful with use.
