Matariki Collection

Each piece in the Matariki collection has a special hononga (connection) to one of the nine whetū (stars) of Matariki.

This Pōtete Skirt is connected to Waipunarangi.

Waipunarangi holds a connection to the diverse ua (rain) that nurtures the earth, providing sustenance to all living beings. During the winter months, the accumulation of water on the ground from heavy and relentless showers is known as

Matariki tāpuapua
The pools of Matariki

When Waipunarangi is obscured during Matariki, we can anticipate a year of abundant rain and possibly some flooding. Yet, when she gleams brightly and appears clear, expect gentle and light rainfall.
