Description:

Māori Design:
Pāua– for Maori the Pāua is a taonga (a treasure) and so are our staff. We wanted them to have a scrub design that was comfortable, versatile, had the right amount of pockets and looked great.
It is a common practice to gift Pāua shells to one another, the shell brings good luck, prosperity, and peace to the wearer. Medicinal lore say that these shells were used to treat a number of ailments and health conditions. Deficiency of calcium, hearing problems, nervous system disorders, etc., are some conditions that were treated with paua shells. This design is about the merging of 2 worlds for us, a reflection and acknowledgment of old and new but more importantly the merging of western with traditional practices.
