This design was inspired by the incredible and courageous Indigenous people of Australia. As Māori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand, we share a similar history and we want to show our aroha (love) to the Indigenous people of Australia through these Poi. A fusion of the 2 cultures.
This designs is beautiful brightly colored poi with artworks and drawings of different native Australian animals. We will have many more Indigenous designs to come as we are inspired as we learn more about ourselves and each other.
Don't forget, our Poi are hand made and we have our own perfect foam balls. All machine cut. These Poi will go the distance and will never distort in shape or size.
