Design Story

The Manaia is a sacred guardian figure in Maori mythology — a spiritual messenger between the earthly world and the spirit world, depicted with the head of a bird, the body of a human, and the tail of a fish. It represents balance, protection, and the connection between the living and the ancestors. The Paua shell is one of New Zealand's most treasured natural wonders, with its stunning iridescent colors that have inspired Maori art for centuries. Together in a glittering green off-shoulder long dress, these sacred Maori elements create a garment that is both spiritually meaningful and breathtakingly beautiful.

Use Cases and Occasions

Perfect for Maori cultural events and Matariki celebrations, semi-formal and formal occasions, beach weddings and tropical celebrations, and gifts for women who want to wear the sacred Manaia guardian and Paua shell beauty of Aotearoa in elegant glitter green style.
