Where Our Journey Began
Before NZ Poi Shop became known for handcrafted poi, Hine Poi, and the Pēpi Collection, there was a simple idea.
To create a purpose-made foam ball designed specifically for poi.
What began as one small product became the foundation of thousands of handmade poi across Aotearoa and beyond. Every collection we've created, every poi we've handcrafted, and every journey we've shared began with this simple white sphere.
This is where our story began.
Care & Use
Your poi are made for movement, practice and performance. To help keep them looking and performing their best:
- Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
- Allow poi to air dry fully after use.
- Avoid soaking the poi or leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods.
- Handle the hukahuka gently to help maintain its shape and movement.
Made in Aotearoa
Our poi are made with care by our whānau in Aotearoa, using materials selected for movement, durability and performance. Every pair is prepared with the intention of supporting learning, practice and performance.
