Mahi Raranga
Mahi Raranga – NZ Flax Weaving – the old art to create taonga (treasures) with our NZ native fibers such as NZ Flax, Pingao, Kiekie and others. We create kete, pikau (backpack), wall art (Interior Decorations anybody?) and of course piupiu but many things in between and above these.
Some items we make are perfect for any interior decoration, be it at an office or home.
If you feel inspired or have any questions regarding any of our products (or even the ones we do not show here but are related) – please feel free to get in touch with us through our contact page.
The photos below are mostly of past works, commissions usually and are no longer for sale but demonstrate some of the wide range of items and products we may make. So if you are after that particular piece let us know your wishes and requirements and we can let you know if we are able to help you.
