Customising kākahu since way back 🙌
In the wise words of matua @tame_iti - “Life is theatrical”.
And we can express that through what we wear!

Thrifting Aotearoa is about more than kākahu. It’s about creativity, sustainability, finding value in what already exists and most importantly it’s about the people.
To everyone who opened their doors, shared their stories (and kākahu), and brought this kaupapa to life - ka nui te mihi ki a koutou.
To everyone who watched, supported, shared, and backed the series along the way - we see you, we appreciate you.

You never know what you might find ♻️✨
In our last Thrifting 101 for the series, @misty.scurr shares what she looks for when thrifting.
It’s not always about finding what’s trendy or ready to go. It’s about seeing potential, longevity and what you could do to make the garment work.

The final feature for the series is here and we’ve gone all out.
@tame_iti has always made powerful statements through his activism and art - and his style is no different. To him, fabric is another canvas.

Harry Muru-Kete already understands the power of mahi, community, and opportunity.
@creativetaro spent the day with @second2none828 (Harry Muru-Kete) - sharing how thrifting can be another stream of income for the kete, while supporting the circular economy of kākahu and goods… and having a good time doing it.
@misty.scurr reminds us that tikanga Māori and fashion aren’t separate - they move together.
It’s in the small, everyday choices.
It’s how we care for our kākahu, how we repair, reuse and value what we already have.
Simple choices, deeper care, and a stronger connection to our kākahu.
