This was a gift for my sister as she received her moko—symbolising her journey in seeking knowledge and embracing my aroha, especially as I couldn’t be there with her. She absolutely loved it and said she will cherish it always.
A beautiful taonga - subtle, yet rich in mana and aroha, shared between giver and receiver.
Love the artwork on these cards, and the finish that will keep the cards clean and tidy in the long term. Really looking forward to using them with our grandchildren!
