Maimoa Creative is proud to present our exclusive Māori Enamel Pin Collection, a selection of bold statement pins that do more than just accessorise—they are a powerful representation of solidarity and respect for Aotearoa's indigenous roots. This bold collection is a celebration of the Māori language and culture.

Crafted from premium hard enamel metal, complemented by elegant brass plating and detailing, these pins are versatile companions for your fashion style. Whether you're going for a cute and casual look, or a more dressy attire, these pins can be styled however you choose.

Join us in this article as we explore creative ways to showcase these powerful symbols in your everyday fashion. With our styling tips, you can make the most of your enamel pins, ensuring that each piece resonates with you and your style.

Denim, the Classic Canvas

Pop one (or three — why not?) of our enamel pins on your favourite denim jacket. On or near the lapel is a common location, or on one of the pockets. Each pin brings its own mana to your ensemble. Let these pins be storytellers, and let your jacket be a canvas for these tales, sparking conversations and connections with every outing.

"I wanted to show my support publicly and this is excellent. I’ve had strangers comment on it and have given them the pin to wear. Will be ordering more!"

"I had to have these to remind myself of where I am on my journey and this little token of flare makes me feel empowered, embodied and stronger. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to not only wear these with pride everyday, but showcase our heritage up front and centre on my kākahu in such a humbling way."

Headwear that Turns Heads

 From the laid-back cap to the snug beanie, or even a classy wide-brim hat – our pins are the twist your headwear's been waiting for 🧢

Customer review spotlight:

"Powerful little statement pin. My small act of advocacy for our reo wherever I go. Ātaahua!"

On the Daily with Lanyards

Take a bit of pin pride to work with you. Slip a pin onto your lanyard and let it dangle beside your ID. It's a subtle nod to who you are, and a stylish way to brighten up your workday attire.

Our pins can be symbols of support and recognition in various professional and personal spheres. Plus, it's a great ice-breaker 🧊

Scarves That Tell A Story

Winter's chill has got nothing on you when you've got a scarf adorned with one of our enamel beauties. Add our pins to your layers to create a unique touch to your winter attire 🧣

"Love this pin, as a non-Māori it is a great way to show my support for Te Tiriti and what it stands for."

Pēke with Personality

Give your go-to bag or purse a touch of personality. Pinning one of our enamel treasures on a pēke (tote bag, school bag, kete, purse, or clutch) can transform an everyday accessory into a standout piece that carries a story 👜 

Our pins allow for public expression of commitment to te reo, turning everyday items into symbols of identity and advocacy.

Customer review spotlight:

"He mihi nui ki a Maimoa Creative, tino rawe tēnei pine. I was looking for some pins to share with whānau to express my commitment to te reo in public, this fit the bill perfectly."

Formal Fashion with a Pinch of Pride

Wanting to personalise your graduation gown? Fasten a Maimoa Creative pin of your choice to it, and let it remind you of your whakapapa as you walk across that stage, your accomplishments amplified by the pride of your whānau and tūpuna. It's your day to shine, and what better way to do it than with a symbol of your identity? 👩🏽‍🎓

As another option, secure one pin (or a pair) on suit lapels or cufflinks for a sophisticated and more formal display of your pride 👔

Customer review spotlight:

"Got a couple, for each of my suit lapels. Super quality - Rawe. I figure it's a nice way to make an identity statement for a "white passing" Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa tama. Nga mihi nui Maimoa Creative team."

Our Māori Enamel Pin Collection is not just about adorning your attire — they are here to make a statement. It’s about wearing your story, your pride, your advocacy, or your whakapapa for the world to see.
