Tomorrow we will open orders for our new colourway of Taura Here Manawa (the cord that binds me to your heart), designed - and modelled - by Hirini 'Heeds' Katene of The Native Studios and his beautiful whānau.
Heeds gave this colourway the name Te Āo Pounamu, which means Treasure the World. It also refers to the lush green of the fine cotton weft, woven across a deep black cotton warp.
Te Āo Pounamu will be available as wraps and ring slings for carrying babies and little ones, scarves, and throw blankets. Everything will be made to order, with orders open for the last week of this month. More info with the order form coming tomorrow...
Welcome to Aroha Textiles, a small Mum-run enterprise based in Auckland, New Zealand.
We are dedicated to sharing our love of baby-wearing throughout our beautiful land and far beyond. The comfort and convenience of woven wraps has become our passion - we love getting out and about in the glorious NZ outdoors, and equally we need to get things done around the house! It is our dream come true to create luscious and original textiles for you to carry and clothe your precious babies in.
Aroha wraps are conceived and created alongside family and friends, local artists and designers. Our range is inspired by the beauty of the South Pacific - from our unique wildlife and natural wonders to the rich traditions of pattern design and crafting of textiles.
We hope you enjoy wrapping your babies in Aroha, made with lots of love in New Zealand.
