tui blanket

This man-made fiber used in this blanket draws inspiration from the nightingales of New Zealand, the tui bird. The native bird, called by many names other than Tui or Koko, was of great importance to New Zealand’s indigenous people, the Maori, and there are many stories about them in Maori legend and folklore. They are usually dark brown or black with variable metallic blue green coloring. 

The tui range includes other items that can be viewed in the cushions and throws and treasure collections.
