Poutama Jade Pounamu Korowai Kākahu Adult Shoulder Cape

This Korowai, adorned in jade, turquoise, and white tones, holds deep cultural and spiritual meaning.
Jade (pounamu) symbolises strength, endurance, and a deep connection to the land. Highly valued in Māori culture, it represents both physical and spiritual resilience. Turquoise evokes the calming and healing qualities of water, symbolising peace, balance, and harmony.
White stands for purity, new beginnings, and clarity, reflecting wisdom and ongoing spiritual growth.
Instead of the traditional pātiki taniko, this korowai features a poutama design, symbolising the steps of learning and achievement. Poutama represents personal growth, progress, and the pursuit of knowledge, making this garment especially meaningful for someone on a journey of development or leadership.
Together, these elements reflect a person grounded in the land, peaceful yet strong in presence, guided by wisdom and a deep respect for te ao tūroa (the natural world).
