Hiwa-i-te-rangi is the whetū of aspiration, intention and dreams we hope to carry into the future. Hiwa invites us to look beyond the horizon and consider what we wish to nurture, achieve and become.

Stepping into the Māori New Year, we cross a waharoa, a threshold between reflection and renewal. It marks the moment where intention is set and possibility begins to take shape.

Flowing through the waharoa, the poutama pattern becomes the path forward. A symbol of growth, advancement and the pursuit of mātauranga.The poutama reflects the ongoing journey towards our aspirations entrusted to Hiwa-i-te-rangi. Upon the Waharoa also sit eight manaia, representing the whetū of Matariki, while the wheku above embodies Matariki herself, the mother star, connecting all others together. View the stories behind our Matariki Collection.

This collection will be on display at Mānawa Bay from Tuesday 23 June to Sunday 19 July, before moving to our Rotorua store from 20–29 July. Pieces may be purchased throughout the exhibition period and will be delivered once the exhibitions have concluded.
