What is the significance of Erana?
Erana is my eldest sister's middle name, and it comes from my great-great-grandmother Erana Goldsmith. This collection represents my sister's delicate personality. It's my privilege to be able to acknowledge her uniquely through my creative lens.

What is a koikoi?
For context, a koikoi is traditionally a long spear pointed on both ends.
These staff were primarily employed to strike and parry with a two-handed grip, rather than lunging forward using the point alone (Mātāmua, 2013).
Our koikoi are fashioned to depict a taiaha (placement of feathers and binding however not including the ate or flat-bladed edge), thus enabling you to feel more familiar when handling a taiaha on your journey.
Ngā mihi,
Caleb and Jackie Kutia
