Korowai Cape - White

Size: 1050W x 220H mm excluding the cords. \n \nThese modern Korowai capes are an exciting way to be able to wear a Korowai. They are extremely popular for weddings and evening wear. \n \nOur Korowai are hand-made in New Zealand by machine-stitching the feathers onto a lined fabric base. The feathers wrap around the front edge to complete the look. A traditional handwoven one takes many weeks to complete and costs significantly more. A modern Korowai offers better durability and more colours. Inspiration for the colour and designs from our local fauna and flora. We use beautiful farmed chicken and rooster feathers, some of which have been dyed to create the amazing colour range available in our Korowai selection. Our Korowai have drawstring ties so you can alter the width to fit the wearer. \n \nThe taniko trim has also been woven from wool in NZ. This design is the Marena design or wedding design. The triangles represent people. In the centre of the "V" are the bride and groom with the minister in front of them. The outer parts of the "V" show the whanau witnessing the ceremony. The gold thread shows the importance of this day. \n \nIMPORTANT NOTE: \n \nTHE FEATHERS ON THIS CAPE HAVE BEEN DYED WHITE, AND MAY GO YELLOW OVER TIME.
