The story goes that the Sun used to travel too fast across the sky leaving not enough daylight for working, fishing, and eating. Māui suggested slowing the Sun down by catching it and travelled East with his brothers to the Māori sun god, Tama-nui-te-ra's pit, where he rests at night.
Meet Kim, a seasoned Vet Nurse based in the picturesque landscape of New Zealand, who has a special fondness for our feathered friends. In the midst of the Covid lockdown in 2020, she embarked on a journey to craft exquisite earrings and artwork, meticulously handcrafted from the finest duck, peacock and pheasant feathers sourced exclusively from New Zealand's wildlife management domain.
Kim's passion lies in fashioning artisanal jewelry, each piece infused with the essence of New Zealand, utilizing carefully curated materials from across the globe, all meticulously assembled in her intimate workshop nestled in New Zealand's Hawkes Bay.
At the heart of Kim's business, lies a profound commitment; to pay homage to New Zealand's unique wildlife, to tread lightly on the environment, and to empower women with confidence. She proudly upcycles materials that were once destined for obscurity.
In essence, Kim is dedicated to delivering bespoke, culturally inspired, and environmentally conscious fashion statements.
