NZ Poi Shop is a Māori-owned and operated whānau business, listed at 52 Swanson Road in Henderson, Waitakere. The business makes its poi by hand in Aotearoa and sells them for every occasion, from little hands learning movement to kapa haka performers on stage. It also supplies poi and poi-making materials to kura, rōpū and whānau across the country and beyond. The site says it can supply a few sets for a rōpū or poi for a whole kura, and that ordering is made simple.
The shop began with a wānanga between a mother and her young child, and the site says the poi were created to celebrate the wāhine who represent Aotearoa on the world stage. Buyers can shop online, and the site describes the shop as a small whānau business sharing the taonga of poi with the world. Ordering is through the online store, which is powered by Shopify.
