MISS MAIA

MISS MAIA was founded by Tracey Gardner to create unique products that re-imagine traditional Māori designs in bold, contemporary and imaginative ways. We aim to create products which help others feel a sense of belonging, pride and connection to their identity. Birthed from an unwavering passion for design and my cultures, MISS MAIA was launched online in April 2019 from Melbourne Australia. Tracey and her whānau returned to NZ in 2020 bringing MISS MAIA back home to Whakatāne.

We love creating products which help others express their own creativity, purpose, personality, values and whakapapa. MISS MAIA is, futurist designs awakened by our ancestry. MISS MAIA is available for purchase online at www.missmaia.co or in person at, 97 The Strand Whakatane.

Core products we provide:

• Jewellery, accessories and home décor
• Jewellery making workshops
