Kia ora, Ko Taongahuia ahau

Welcome to our website (and our Rotorua Store) where we get to share space, and support, the amazing creative skills of locals, whānau and friends together in one space where you can browse and enjoy the artwork, or purchase something to take home or gift.  

Ko Taongahuia ahau.  He uri ahau o Ngāti Maniapoto. Ko Tyla taku tamāhine, he uri ia o Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngai Tai, Ngāti Hine..  

I have been a crafter / maker all my life and  ITI gifts started as an outlet to sell my handcrafts.  It eventually grew to include other products crafted and/or designed by other talented Māori, and now also includes my clothing line MATA.   

ITI  is the online and instore Gallery shop for Toi Māori, Kākahu Māori,  and Gift Bundles, skillfully and lovingly designed and/or created by locals, whānau, friends and talented creators using matauranga Māori to inform their craft.
