Our Story

NAU MAI! WELCOME!

Kia Ora! Ko Mihikore tōku ingoa, he uri ahau nō te riu o Waikato, nō Ngāti Koroki-Kahukura, Ngāti Māhanga me Ngāti Raukawa. 

I am a proud Māmā to our whānau and three beautiful tamariki and one angel baby, who are all born and raised in Brisbane, Australia. Our pakihi (business) started 2 years ago after giving birth to our youngest pēpi during the peak of Covid19 pandemic. The impacts of covid lockdowns, restrictions and the disconnection from our whānau, friends and home was my fuel and inspiration for starting my journey into business.

 

Our vision is to inspire and encourage all whānau to nurture your pēpi and tamariki with influences of Te Ao Māori, from the moment they enter this world. We hope our collection of taonga is the start of a journey to instilling a strong sense of identity as a proud Māori, no matter where your pēpi is born in the world! Whenua ki te whenua, He tātai whakapapa!

 

When you purchase from Māpihi & Co. you are supporting our little whānau. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

Arohanui,

Māpihi & Co.
