Ko parorangi te maunga, Ko Raukawakawa te moana, Ko Te Hoiere te awa, Ko Te Hoiere te waka, Ko Te Hora te marae, Ko Ngāti Kuia te iwi, Ko Autumn Hemi-Dehar tōku ingoa
No reira Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou kātoa
Hello, my name is Autumn & I live in Westport on the West Coast of the South Island. I am the founder & creative behind Tamāhine, my boutique brand that focuses on creating clothing & accessories that celebrate Maori Culture & Aotearoa.
Tamāhine is the kupu Māori word for daughter, I decided to name the company this after the birth of my daughter Elizabeth. She is the driving force behind me that ignited by passion for art & rediscovering my culture.
My passion comes from my whānau, my ancestors, my Iwi, New Zealand & my mixed ethnicity to create pieces that hopefully you can connect to.
