These beautiful earrings have been made from Muka handcrafted by Shona Tāwhiao - Ngāi Te Rangi.
Muka is the beautiful white fibre extracted from the harakeke. Dipped in fabric dye the muka absorbs the colour brilliantly.
Artist, designer and weaver Shona Tāwhiao, has exhibited her distinct style of raranga (woven work) for over 25 years. Having trained in traditional Māori raranga weaving techniques and methods by Kahutoi Te Kanawa, Shona’s talent has been described as exquisite and undeniably unique. Shona continues to create a range of sculptural works and adornment pieces but the fusing of her love of fashion and culture with her specialised techniques in weaving has enabled Shona to create Haute Couture from harakeke. This has resulted in her unique style being dubbed “Harakeke Couture”. Shona’s multi award-winning collections of Harakeke Couture have been presented at New Zealand, London, Malaysia, Fiji, Hong Kong and Melbourne Fashion Weeks since 2010.
