Awaiti River Watch

We are proud to introduce these beautiful watches from Rerehua Boutique.

The Awaiti Watch is a unique and stylish taonga that reflects the braided rivers running throughout the whenua (land). When pepeha is recited it acknowledges significant markers of identity including the awa (river) and maunga (mountains) of a region. Regardless of how much time passes, or your proximity to the place, it cannot change your connection to these markers of identity. 

Presented in a beautiful black gift box with gold foil branding.

"He uri māua nō Kai Tahu, Ngāti Kahu, Ngāti Whātua me Ngāpuhi.
Rerehua Boutique started as a lockdown project and by May 2022 we launched our e-commerce business online. We are based in Tāmaki Makaurau and our kaupapa is about creating taonga that celebrates the indigenous language and heritage of Aotearoa.
We have been working in education and the social services sector for over 10 years and Rerehua Boutique is a creative outlet for the aroha we have for the reo, tikanga and kaupapa Māori.
Our aspirations for this kaupapa is to create beautiful, quality and stylish taonga that can be worn for any occasion, particularly in professional spaces. We are unapologetically proud to be Māori and we hope when you wear our taonga that you feel confident, empowered and proud to whakanui and represent the indigenous reo and heritage of Aotearoa
