Purapura Whetū Dress - Rust

This pattern that adorns this skirt is called Purapura whetū, created by co-owner of Nōku, Pania. 

Inspiration was drawn from traditional tukutuku panels seen in marae. The two hero patterns used in this tohu are niho taniwha and purapura whetū. 

Purapura whetū: represents the stars in the sky and the great number of people of a nation 

Niho Taniwha: symbolises whakapapa, strength, guardianship and unity of hapū within iwi
