Crafted from quality leather, this statement neckpiece emanates nostalgic charm. Drawing inspiration from the traditional patterns seen in Māori meeting houses and the intricate designs of Ta Moko, the piece seamlessly melds classic Māori flair with contemporary aesthetics. The result is a fusion of the modern and the timeless, exuding authenticity and deep cultural significance.

At the heart of the design is the stylistically interpreted kapowai (Dragonfly), presented in the art form of kowhaiwhai—an integral facet of Māori art and culture. Among certain tribes or iwi, the kapowai is revered as a kaitiaki (guardian).
