The Okooko Pēpi Baby Wrap Carrier is inspired by the traditional Māori practice of Te Pīkau carrying pēpi close to māmā for warmth, connection, and protection. This modern wrap supports pēpi from newborn to 15kg, allowing whānau to experience the benefits of closeness while keeping hands free throughout the day.
 
Crafted from 100% jersey cotton with a two-way stretch, it is soft, breathable, and designed to mould comfortably around both māmā and pēpi. The gentle stretch provides support without losing shape, making it practical for everyday use. Designed to fit all body types, the Okooko Pēpi is inclusive, functional, and easy to use.
 
The Kaupapa behind the Design
Our carrier design tells the story of māmā and pēpi through the maternity journey. The puhoro, embodying identity and connection, flows around the niho taniwha, a symbol of strength, resilience, and unity. Together, they represent the courage and unwavering support needed to welcome new life into te ao. Interwoven among the puhoro are unanahi, signifying health and abundance. These patterns collectively radiate the mana of hapūtanga and post-partum, carrying both tradition and purpose in every detail.
