Our story

About WHåKāHī Collective

WHåKāHī Collective is an independent online shop starting in Rotorua and growing with the wider Bay of Plenty community. Our focus is shoes, clothing and perfume: everyday ways to express your own style.

Small beginnings, a bigger vision

We're building our range step by step, with a preference for Māori brands and a vision to give them more visibility online. We're at the beginning of that journey, and we want to grow thoughtfully alongside our community.

Community before hype

Our approach starts with local connections, useful content and word-of-mouth. We want the collective to be a place to discover products and the stories behind them, not simply follow the next trend.
