Kite Kete

Strong and super light these creations remind us of sand and sea and are designed to last. *Kitesurfing. Using the wind to ride a modified surfboard while holding on to a kite.
*Kete, basket, kit. Traditional Māori woven basket. Practical and decorative. Made from Harakeke/flax leaves. Inspired by a love of ocean adventures and a strong desire to reduce waste, Kite Kete diverts kite surfing gear destined for forever in the landfill and upcycles them in to useful accessories. Sturdy, lightweight and practical, Kite Kete unique items are full of memories of sun, wind and water as the fabric was once a part of a kite, clasped by a surfer flying across the open ocean. Pre-loved kites are washed, cut, and individually stitched in Raglan NZ, creating a unique colorful accessory, a bag with a story and consciousness. As many parts as possible of the kites are repurposed reducing the environmental impact of the activities we love. Your new chic accessory folds small and will add style on your spur of the moment shopping trip, will protect your treasures during a day at the beach, or will serve as a functional and unique conversation piece while out with friends. Kite Kete fits your lifestyle while treading lightly on our planet.
