Poi Creations
Ria is the creator of Poi Creations. As a mother of 4 growing boys that love to represent their region for sports, she found it hard selling raffles, batons up tickets, etc. to the same family members. They all work hard for the money so thought due to her love of crafting and making things with hands, she could make Poi to help. Poi, moved to Poi Xmas decorations, then to Poi earrings.
Ria was born and bred in Porirua and she is a descendent of Ngati Toa, Ngati Raukawa, Ngai Tahu, Rongomaiwahine, and Tuwharetoa. Although they make mostly poi earrings, they are passionate about creating products that are eco-friendly with reusable resources, such as bio-degradable bags, old pillow stuffing, and wool from Op-Shops or leftovers from friends and family.
Ria was very proud when New Zealand PM Jacinda Arden was seen wearing one of her Poi earrings creations recently.

Soalchemy
Dianne is the owner of Soalchemy (pronounced Soul-chemy). It all began with a quest to make a better family soap, which became a hobby, and as demand grew, became a small company. It’s a family-owned company, 100% kiwi. Soalchemy is a soap, a spirit, and an alchemy fusion!
Dianne is proud to make soaps that lather well and leave hands feeling clean but not dried out. She uses quality ingredients to ensure good results for the customers. For optimal performance, she highly suggests stocking soap on a well-drained soap dish. It is very important to her ideology to eliminate plastic waste. Plastic is used sparingly and is being progressively removed. Most items are wrapped in wax paper, cardboard shipping and packaging are used, and cardboard labels are used.

The Cusp
Two small-time creatives started The Cusp to design and make something extraordinary.
As good friends, they collaborate on the design of each product before Stephen takes over the finer details of nutting out the ‘how to’ and then Kim heads into the workshop to start putting the pieces together.
The designs draw much inspiration from the dramatic landscape of Queenstown, New Zealand.
The Cusp respects the environment and attempts to minimise waste through clever designs and use of off-cuts for smaller items. Their preferred finishing products are all-natural based.

Necklaces, New Zealand & Maori, Pounamu
Tuhuru Taonga
George from Tuhuru Taonga was born and raised in a small Māori settlement on the West Coast of New Zealand called Arahura Pā. It was here his fascination and love for pounamu began.
Working only with pounamu he combines modern contemporary styles with time-honoured designs. George’s mission is to help elevate the arts amongst his hapū (subtribe or clan) and to provide a platform for his whānau (extended family) to promote and sell their work.
You can browse the authentic range of handmade carvings and purchase directly or commission a custom made piece.
All of his art is made using genuine New Zealand pounamu that he sources by himself and with other kaitiaki pounamu (guardians) on Te Tai o Poutini (New Zealand’s West Coast). George and the other kaitiaki pounamu believe it is important that when someone is buying taonga pounamu, they get the genuine real deal.
They feel it is wrong that the majority of Jade carvings sold in New Zealand are made from British Columbian Jade carved in China using Māori designs. It is their goal, therefore, to educate and encourage people to buy Māori made taonga (treasure).George also has information on his website about the different types of Pounamu, and the related Mythology and Legends.
