“Bibi"
Is fittingly named after one of the worlds most beautiful lady’s too have ever graced earth.
She is the reflection of my beautiful Kuia. A kind and gentle nurturer. Nani Bibi was a wahine toa, a lady of the true mana wāhine. She was a solid staple and made a huge impact in my youngest childhood life.
A generously beautiful kind and loving lady, with a beaming smile and a heart so full of love. In her heyday she taught many the joys of song and dance.
As a dance teacher, Nani Bibi oozed a wholesome-goodness that filled the lives of those amongst the wider community.
She was also registered healer. Nani was an incredible inspiration too many.
In this design,
I honour her and admire her.
The receiver of this particular kahu for which it is named so eloquently bestowed, will be forever blessed, with love in their hearts, song in their soul, and feet for dancing,
now and forever more.

‘Bibi’ Newborn Baby Size Full Length Cloak
All taonga can be made to order in...
Any size
Any colour
Any choice
Custom made to order.
All Korowai are crafted on-demand. Products are not stocked. Therefore returns or refunds cannot be accepted for change of mind, change of colour, change of size, change or style or any other reason not relating to the quality of the product.
To the bearer... it is advised that "Less is More"
Each handmade taonga is truly an art piece.
Kuia creates delicate works of art and it is advisable that one should not bend, fold, scrunch, rest or sit upon the feathers as this will cause unecessary damage to feathers. Respectfully due to the nature of the product, over time with wear and tear feathers will deterriorate, becoming brittle and causing breakage of the delicate fibres - especially with exessive use - this will exponentiate the process even quicker.
My husband, Koro, would add here... 'just treat her delicately like you would a lady, caress her with gentleness and treat her with respect and she will last a lifetime!'
