Our Vision
To inspire and encourage whānau to nurture your pēpi and tamariki with influences of Te Ao Māori and instill a proud sense of identity - no matter where your pēpi is born in the world.
Our Māpihi & Co. tohu (logo) is uniquely designed to represent whakapapa Māori and the journey of pēpi's creation to life. Our tohu also represents growth, development and the unique bond and connection between Māmā and pēpi together with the interconnection of their whenua (placenta).
The center design is the Kukune or foetus which depicts the conception of pēpi who is forever bounded and protected by two koru designs that represent Māmā and Pāpā. The three outer patterns represents Māmā's gestation and whakapapa lines as she navigates through the three phases of Hapūtanga (pregnancy).
The Unaunahi pattern inside our tohu replicate fish scales to depict the waikahu (amniotic fluid) that surround and protect pēpi in the amniotic sack. The Unaunahi pattern also symbolises safety and protection.

Honestly opening our taonga was so breath taking. Myself and my 4 other children were in awe. So professionally made, such fast turn around and you can instantly feel every item is made with Aroha. Our new baba is blessed to have been gifted such a special taonga. Thank you Māpihi & Co.

Thanks for our Gift Box, the designs are awesome! Although the whānau can't come to Australia to see our Mozzie baby, they love seeing him in traditional Māori designs. I love dressing up my little Aussie baby in Māori gear. All Blacks Jersey next!
