Mahana Throw - Pūmau

Mahana Throw - Pūmau 

1. (verb) - to be faithful, staunch

A paraikete quite simply reflecting the beauty of Te Ao Māori.

Featuring a beautiful taaniko design, along with the symbolic colours representing our mana motuhake and independence - our hope would be that this blanket celebrates our identity and strength.

Inspired by that feeling you get while standing inside the wharenui, admiring the Tukutuku and Carvings. 
Your wairua is at ease and your tinana recharging. Bringing a small feeling of that into your own whare.

Please be aware of the colour on the back as shown in the photos. We use primary colours on a Jacquard weaving machine and the colours that aren't used get pushed to the back hence the unique colours on the blanket.

Awhi Company was born from a love of making baby blankets for close friends and whānau. From muslin wraps to knitted blankets each item is designed with an element of Te Reo Māori or Mātauranga Māori to ensure our pēpī stand strong in their identity from the moment they enter this world.
