Whēku are generally found at the gable of a wharenui, and are carved representations of a human face.
The whēku was designed in the Arawa style, by Tukiri Tini (Te Arawa, Tainui and Waikato), and is a symbolic representation of the wearers’ tūpuna.
The Whēku print is a limited edition by
Arabykamaia. (Kamaia Takuira-Mita).

The best tights, very soft and comfy and such a cool print. I wish you made adults sizes!
These wee trousers are very special and even better than I expected. They are a gift for a family member and it feels meaningful enough with Ruby’s thoughtful design plus Little Yellow Bird’s philosophy to give as a first present to a baby. Very happy!
