Poutama: Rātana Edition

This unique Poutama panel is a tribute to faith and heritage, featuring the iconic colours of the Rātana movement. By merging the "stairway to heaven" pattern with the symbolic hues of the Whetū Mārama, this piece represents a journey guided by spirit and light.

The Poutama pattern symbolizes the levels of learning and spiritual growth. In this edition, the traditional steps are brought to life through the five colours of Rātana—Blue (the Father), White (the Son), Red (the Holy Spirit), Purple (the Faithful Angels), and Gold (the Glory of God). It is a piece designed for the home as a symbol of protection, guidance, and cultural pride.

Handmade with Heart

​Every piece in my collection is crafted entirely by hand, from start to finish. Because I don't use mass-production machinery, each item carries its own unique character.

​Please note that because these are human-made, you might find small variations or minor imperfections—a slightly different grain, a unique stitch, or a tiny quirk in the finish. These aren't flaws; they are the "fingerprints" of a handmade process and a sign that your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.

​Thank you for supporting authentic, hand-crafted work!
