KO WAI TATOU?
Who are we? Back Blocks is a range of Leather and Canvas goods, all handmade in Hawke’s Bay, Aotearoa. Our products are handcrafted with a mindful consideration of quality, simplicity, and timeless design. We’re not just products, we’re a lifestyle, practising kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and manaakitanga (care/respect) towards the land and sea.
Mana whenua (authority in the land) is achieved when a person’s
inward kaupapa is aligned with the outward land.
When the relationship with the land is lost,
people’s inner sense of security and foundation may be lost too.
— Te Ahukaramū Charles Royal (2007)
ONE TEE. ONE TREE.
