Kiri Nathan

This design reimagines a queen’s crown as a handwoven pare crafted from harakeke, symbolising strength, connection to the whenua, and te ao Māori. The natural fibres replace gold and gems, celebrating resilience, dignity, and the beauty of what grounds us. Paired with the reo Māori phrase “Tukua kia kūini” - Be Queenly - the tee honours Tiana’s journey, her fight with the spirit of a true queen, and the freedom to embrace strength, elegance, and courage.
