Kaikihikihi Arts is a small family owned business based in South Auckland.
We created this website so you could have the opportunity to purchase unique hand
made products directly from our collections.
We know first-hand what it is like looking for Maori made products online. If you’re
looking for quality, uniqueness, affordability and products that are
made by Māori for Māori, then you’re on the right page.
My name is Leisha Conrad and I am a Māori Weaver from the Far North. My passion for
weaving came from my Mum and Nanny. Both were traditional weavers and taught
us how to weave very early in life. I passed these learnings and skills down to my own tamariki, who will hopefully pass them down to their children also.
Over the years my weaving has evolved. Spending years weaving traditional Kete and Pikau (baskets & backpacks) I now focus on Natural Fibre Kākahu and other products made with the addition of contemporary materials.
