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.
