KŌUMA KŌURA - Gold breastplate

Featuring engraved Taki Tahi weaving patterns, this statement piece is crafted from gleaming gravograph metallic gold. The base layer, formed with tara-shaped pieces symbolising feminine strength, supports a top layer of intricate weaving that adds movement and fluidity to the design. The metallic surface catches and reflects light, creating a striking visual effect that’s both bold and elegant, with just the right touch of sensuality. Wear it to command attention and embody strength with every step.

APPRECIATION POST

With a heart filled of gratitude, I want to give thanks to Professor Siah Hwee Ang and the team at .cape (South East Asia Centre of Asia Pacific Excellence) for opening my eyes and the door to South East Asia, especially Thailand. It was through those early journeys that my curiosity and love for Thailand began to bloom, setting me on a path of growth and connection.
Your belief in the vision to develop relationships and test markets has honestly meant the world.
Thank you for your continued support x
