About us

Born from a love of handmade artistry, we are a family of Artisans from Piha, New Zealand, creating contemporary handmade Art and Crafts and using traditional Maori Practices to create inspired works. Curating sustainable pieces that are unique and special. What began as a shared passion for craft and creativity has grown into a small, intentional lifestyle brand dedicated to thoughtful, slow made creations.

From hand-crocheted bikinis inspired by coastal living to hand-woven Kete Whakairo Bags, natural soaps crafted with locally sourced ingredients and gemstone bracelets. Every piece we make is designed with care. We believe in the beauty of handmade work.

Our process is rooted in sustainability and mindfulness. We prioritise natural materials, ethical production, and small-batch crafting to reduce waste and honor traditional techniques. 

At the heart of our brand is a celebration of creativity, nature, and individuality. We create for those who value artistry, intention, and products that tell a story.

Thank you for supporting handmade.

Love M.A.T.R Artisans x
