This is a new brand of exciting products, more coming in 2011.
The name huiadesign is a tribute to the ‘Huia’ a now extinct native bird of New Zealand. In Maori culture, only people of high rank wore Huia feathers. In some legends, the Huia was one of the birds attained from the heavens by Tawhaki so that his wife could decorate her hair with its feathers; this celestial origin meant that the feathers of the Huia were treated with the greatest respect. In other traditions, the Huia bird was the leader of the hakuturi, the spirit guardians of the forest.
