Why choose us

Customer reviews

Odette Wilson

Te Rerenga School are very delighted with the kākahu and tātua that Kapa Haka Makers has made for us. The design process took some time as we went back and forth, and we thank Brendon for his patience over this time. The choosing of colours was made easy as he sent us the options through and then showed us the design with the colours for our final approval. The quality is very good and the elasticated section at the back allows for fitting of all sizes. We are very pleased and appreciative of the final product.

We ordered kākāhu through Kapahaka Makers and are absolutely delighted with the quality of the garments. The communication was seamless, and the team was incredibly helpful in ensuring that our design was a perfect fit for our kura. We will definitely be ordering from Kapahaka Makers again in the future and would highly recommend them to all kura looking for kapa haka kākāhu. Ngā mihi nunui to the team.
