Purple Poutama Korowai

This Purple and White Korowai represents prestige and honour, with purple being a colour linked to high status and respect in Māori culture. It symbolises strength, dignity, and a deep connection to the spiritual world and ancestral wisdom. 
The addition of white brings a sense of purity, peace, and spiritual enlightenment. In Māori tradition, white also represents new beginnings and the tapu (sacredness) of life, enhancing the korowai’s connection to both past and future generations.
The colours used reflect Māori craftsmanship and the importance of the wearer’s lineage. This korowai is more than just a cloak, it represents cultural pride and personal achievement, carrying the mana (prestige) of those who came before.
Wearing this Purple and White Korowai is a reminder of our ancestors’ strength and guidance, encouraging us to honour the traditions and values they passed down through generations.
