Aroha Textiles is a work-at-home-mum business in Aoteoroa (New Zealand). Like us, Aroha Textiles wants to bring the beauty and comfort of woven wraps and babywearing to families around the world.

Aroha's wraps are made from very high quality, 100% fine cotton, on an Egyptian cotton warp. Our first Aroha Textiles design is Ngaru Nui. Ngaru Nui is approximately 250 gsm loomstate.

The design is a collaboration with Hirini 'Heeds' Katene, from House of Natives. I am honoured to have this available for our customers in the UK and Europe.

Woven wraps are both comfortable and convenient for carrying your baby in. They're amazing for getting out and about, and equally helpful for getting things done around the house! Your woven wrap can last you from your newborn baby's first days, though to the running, bouncing energy of a toddler.

For wrapping your baby with, Ngaru Nui feels smooth, sleek, and smoothy. This woven wrap feels thin in hand, but has been densely woven for that wonderful cush on your shoulders. Lots of support, along with softness, stretch, and a lovely drape. Ngaru Nui woven wraps are well-suited for all levels of experience, and are wonderful for carrying little babies up to toddlers and bigger kids.

Ngaru Nui represents a grand journey. Ngaru has been named to acknowledge the landing in Aotearoa of our people from the North, who came in on the backs of three great waves. Ngaru Nui was the first, the 'big wave'. Ngaru is based on an original kowhaiwhai design. The kowhaiwhai are the designs that you see in whare nui (meeting houses) on marae throughout Aoteoroa.
