TE PARE RITO

Simple, timeless & passed down through generations

Covering the head in church is a sign of humility and honor before God.

Wearing pare rito becomes more than tradition — it’s a beautiful expression of faith and respect ✨

Rito — woven with patience, worn with pride 🤍

Each hat is carefully handcrafted from young coconut leaves, a skill passed down through generations of women.

Light, elegant, and made by hand — rito is more than a hat, it’s a piece of our heritage 🌴🥥🐚

“Hanga” – a bay, cove, or sheltered area along the coast

“Rei” – something treasured, sacred, or precious sometimes also referring to adornment or something held in high value

This collection is in honour of our beautiful motu in Tongareva and those who came before us
