Repurpose your Koti with Tuihana
Join Tuihana for a hands-on creative wānanga where we reimagine, restyle, and reawaken our favourite jackets. Every stitch tells a story - yours is ready to be worn again with pride and flair.

About This Kaupapa
Get your creative on! Repurpose your koti and weave your story through your own creative style with Tuihana.
This workshop is all about transformation — taking a once-loved garment and giving it new life, energy, and meaning.
Try reshaping a collar for a new neckline, cropping or detaching sleeves for a vest-style look, or swapping out buttons for something bold and unique. Add your own flair with fabric paint, hand-stitched motifs, ribbon, lace, or patches that reflect your whakapapa and personality.
Every cut, stitch, and brushstroke becomes a piece of creative rongoā — a moment of reconnection to your creativity, confidence, and self-expression.
Tuihana is a member of Whare Hau Tutū and a loud proud advocate for sustainable kakahu and how it makes one feel. She has gracefully offered this workshop to our community.
