Marihi means precious, prized, valuable
We are a whānau-based enterprise proudly of Ngāpuhi- Ngāti Kahu descent, based in Ōtautahi. We are deeply committed to showcasing the rich and vibrant heritage of Māori art, craft, and taonga, with a focus on locally made creations from artisans across Te Waipounamu (the South Island).
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At the heart of our work is a passion for supporting emerging talent and uplifting whānau, strengthening our community and culture through meaningful connections. With great aroha (love) and kaha (strength), we strive to preserve, celebrate, and share the stories and creations that represent the essence of who we are.
Our story is just beginning, and we invite you to join us on this journey as we continue to celebrate Māori craftsmanship and the spirit of Te Ao Māori (the Māori world).
