The stunning Cook Islands is where the tivavae was originated from. The Manukau Heights Supa Team get together weekly and create amazing tivavaes for gifts for family celebrations.

Everything that is part of the Cook Island History is to create with your hands, even the traditional Cook island housing. Now you can see where the Manukau Supa team skills come from creating the tivavae.
