Hei Wahine | This wahine sits in a state of reflection... A reminder to stop, to sit with where we are, acknowledge where we have been, and think about where we are going. Sometimes there is value in simply being still.

Each pendant is constructed from two layers of laser-cut and engraved native wood veneer and plywood, creating depth and dimension within the design. Finished on a simple chain, the oversized scale makes this a beautiful statement piece while still feeling lightweight to wear.

ARA | TE ARA HOU

A new kaupapa.
A new collaboration.

Something we’ve been quietly nurturing for a while is finally starting to come to fruition.

What began as an idea is now becoming a pathway — one of cultural connection, collaboration, sustainability, economic opportunity, relationships and fashion.

There is so much more to come. So stay tuned and follow the journey as ARA unfolds.
