The kaupapa behind O TE MOTU CREATIONS is both beautiful and inspiring.
This is a snippet from their website
"We looked to the PAST of our tupuna and their resourcefulness. Next we looked at the PRESENT day destruction and devastation we are causing Papatūānuku through our consumerist behaviours. Becoming consciously aware we can create a more sustainable FUTURE.
This kaupapa evolved from a homeschooling project with our daughter Mereana Wairua(8) aka ‘BOSS KŌTIRO’. From this project we developed O TE MOTU CREATIONS LTD. Through our business, our daughter authentically learns her numeracy, literacy, creativity, social skills and most importantly - who she is and how she contributes to society"
These handcrafted, sustainably-made and uniquely beautiful earrings are made right here in NZ.
Made from repurposed inner tubes... Some would say that they've been reCYCLED.
