The Mission
We’re proud to show off merch from our little hometown to the world.
There’s nothing better than spotting Tikitiki merch in Florida, Ruatoria or in London.
From Perth to Kalgoorlie, Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Tasmania and beyond, our gear is travelling far and wide.
It’s not just about Aotearoa. It’s about giving whānau a sense of home, no matter where they are in the world.
We’re only scratching the surface of something massive, and we’re just getting started. Creating kākahu designed by whānau, for whānau, is a mission we’re passionate about and proud to carry forward.
