Hi, Were The Rapata/Teao Whanau

Welcome to 8 Crew! 

At 8 Crew, everything begins with family. Inspired by our parents Yuleen and Harawira, and our shared Māori, Cook Island, Australian, and Aboriginal heritage, we create designs that celebrate connection, nature, and love.

Our cultural collections are coming soon — each piece crafted with heart and story.

8 Crew — where culture, family, and creativity come together.

Our Designs

Each of our current designs is meticulously hand-drawn and painted in watercolour by our dear family friend Kate Evans.

Her artwork is transformed into repetitive patterns that are printed onto premium quality fabrics, designed to last the test of time and be handed down through generations. 

Our new cultural collections are coming soon each new design will represent our whanau and Indigenous cultures.

These fabrics then become swaddles, scarves, blankets and other accessories for your home, each telling its own unique story.
