Cape Korowai Paua
 
Size: 1050W x 220H mm excluding the cords. 
 
These Korowai cape are extremely popular for weddings and evening wear.
These Korowai are handmade in Auckland by machine stitching feathers onto a beautifully lined fabric base.
 
The feathers wrap around the front edge to complete the look. Inspiration for the colour and designs come from local NZ fauna and flora.
 
Beautiful farmed chicken and rooster feathers are used.
 
This Korowai has a drawstring tie so you can alter the width to fit the wearer. This design is the Universal Patiki or flounder design. The diamond shape represents the flounder fish. A good luck charm for the provision of food for the Iwi.
 
This Korowai has recieved a blessing before making its way to Sydney.
