One Look. Unmistakably New Zealand.

Created in collaboration with Far North tattoo artist Kahurangi Rihari-Poa, the Kowhaiwhai design celebrates one of the most recognisable visual languages of Aotearoa. Drawing inspiration from the flowing forms and symbolism found throughout Māori art, Kahurangi has created a contemporary interpretation that feels both deeply connected to New Zealand and distinctly modern.

Every Kaleo design is exclusive to Kaleo, produced in limited-edition runs, and shares its own unique New Zealand story.

Each polo includes an artist story card, connecting you to the inspiration behind the design.

Crafted from our premium performance fabric, Kaleo Golf Polos are lightweight, breathable and exceptionally comfortable to wear. The moisture-wicking fabric helps keep you cool and dry, while the soft-touch finish and stretch construction allow unrestricted movement throughout the day. Easy-care and travel-friendly, they're designed to look sharp from morning tee-off to evening catch-ups.

Designed with golfers in mind, these polos deliver comfort from the first tee to the nineteenth hole. But their versatility doesn't stop at the fairway. Whether you're travelling, cruising, representing your club, attending an event, competing in a tournament, or simply enjoying a relaxed day out, Kaleo Golf Polos combine performance, comfort and unmistakable Kiwi style wherever the day takes you.

Inspired by the flowing patterns and visual storytelling traditions that have become synonymous with New Zealand, this design reflects movement, connection and identity. Through Kahurangi's distinctive artistic style and experience as a tattoo artist, traditional influences are woven into a bold contemporary pattern that proudly celebrates the creativity and cultural heritage of Aotearoa.

A distinctive golf polo inspired by contemporary Māori artistry and the unmistakable spirit of New Zealand.

About the Artist

KOWHAIWHAI by Kahurangi Rihari-Poa.

"Kahu’s Kowhaiwhai design just “flowed from “ him onto an A4 piece of paper, like many of his tatoo designs. The next trick was to work his unique creation… into a repeat surface pattern print that could be used as a full, all-over print on garments. Jacqueline Roper, (another one of Kaleo’s contributing artists with training in Maori art) helped with this. The result is a seamless and graceful illustration that works brilliantly across Kaleo apparel and accessories."

Kahurangi Rihari-Poa is a graduate from Northtec, Whangarei. He majored in screen-printing and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in applied arts. ‘ Kahu’ is currently living in Morewa and working as a tattooist. With years of tutoring and experience behind his belt, he is now journeying into the realm of whakairo with the guidance of Taane Matiu. Kahu also shares his talents and skills working at Hihiaua Cultural Center in Whangarei.
