Sovereignty pēke
A tribute to Hiraina Marsden, Jan Smith, and Linda Munn, the creators of the Tino Rangatiratanga flag—a powerful symbol of Māori independence and pride since 1989. Their legacy has paved the way for this enduring emblem of sovereignty to be embraced in modern Māori expressionism.
The Sovereignty Pēke by Wirihana is where heritage meets craftsmanship. Handcrafted from genuine full-grain leather, this bag embodies both cultural significance and timeless elegance. Designed in Aotearoa, it reflects the spirit of Māori identity while offering a stylish, versatile piece for everyday use.
At Wirihana Supplies, we believe the Tino Rangatiratanga design belongs to all of us—it’s a symbol of our sovereignty and our right to express it. By incorporating a twist into this design, we’ve created something unique that continues to honor its roots while evolving to reflect modern Māori identity. Adaptation is part of keeping our culture alive, and we hope this design resonates with those who feel the same pride in our shared heritage.
This is more than a bag—it's a statement of pride, independence, and quality. The Sovereignty Pēke debuts in its striking original design, with two additional colorways (pounamu green and clay orange) coming soon.
Elevate your style with a bag that’s not just an accessory but a reflection of heritage, craftsmanship, and individuality.
