In a world overflowing with mass-produced products, it’s easy to feel like the things we buy are impersonal and disposable. At Mātātuhi Designs, we do things differently. Every piece we send out is created with purpose, meaning, and aroha; made just for you, not pulled from a shelf.
From Start to Finish: Our Process
When you place an order with us, your item begins its life as raw materials. From there, we carefully move through each stage:
Crafting: We design, cut, print, or 3D-print your item to match your exact order.
Blessing: Before it leaves our hands, we perform a karakia to honour the journey and surround your taonga with positive energy.
Packaging & Shipping: Each order is wrapped with care, secured for its journey, and sent on to you with our aroha.
Nothing is mass-produced. Every item is made deliberately, carrying the mana of the process it has passed through.
Why We Do It This Way
Our approach is guided by more than just practicality; it reflects our values:
• Sustainability: By creating to order, we reduce waste and avoid overproduction.
•. Cultural Integrity: Every design respects and uplifts te ao Māori.
• Manaakitanga: We treat each order as if we are preparing a gift for our own whānau.
The Value of Bespoke Creations
