PUANGA HORI JACKET

Puanga Hori Jacket
A Chore Canvas jacket embroidered with "Hori" and "Puanga Hori" tohu on the front, and featuring the Poho Kererū tohu boldly embroidered on the back — because this kaitiaki always has your back.

The kererū, often called te manu o te tau (the bird of the new year), plays a key role in marking seasonal change. When Puanga is shining brightest in the night sky and the miro berries of the koramiro tree are at their ripest, the kererū feast — signalling it’s also the best time for us to gather and eat.

Poho kererū isn’t just a visual symbol — it’s a kīwaha, or saying, meaning to be proud. Like the puffed-out chest of the kererū, full of pride and presence, this jacket reminds us to stand tall in who we are.
