Hiwa and Awa Co. was inspired by the births of our Tama, “Awariki” and “Hiwa,” born just four days apart. As sisters; Rebekah and Jessica Brady, we envisioned creating Māori and Polynesian-inspired products for both Pēpi and Māmā in support of the various stages of motherhood especially during those early days. Our high-quality products are designed in Aotearoa, drawing inspiration from our taiao and incorporating traditional Māori practices.

Our mission is to create products that grow with your Pēpi, throughout the seasons, ages, and stages. As Māori wahine, we value our whenua and strive to ensure our products are natural and environmentally friendly, giving back to Papatūānuku. We aim to celebrate indigenous cultures by incorporating Māori and Polynesian-inspired designs into all our product collections.

We are Rebekah and Jessica, two sisters born and raised in South Auckland, New Zealand, part of a large whānau of six tuahine. Our roots trace back to the North (Pakotai) and the East Coast (Matata), in which we are lucky enough to have strong connection’s with our whenua (homelands).

We believe in giving back to our community, a principle evident in our daily mahi as a kaiako and Registered Nurse. When we are not busy with mahi, we cherish time with our whānau and friends. Between us both, we have six awesome tamariki and one on the way.

“We want to show our tamariki that with hard work and focus on what fuels your wairua, you will always succeed in whatever you set out to achieve.”

We cant wait to share our Pakihi with you and your whānau

Nga mihi nui
