We bought the moko kauae and mataora for our kids for Harmony Day and they were so cool!! You definitely want to cut the mataora up into as many smaller pieces as you can, without cutting across lines. We did this and it helped with placement.
I picked them up after kura and other than areas that felt a little itchy/tight (corners of the mouth and nose) everything was still as it was when I put it on that morning.
Heaps of compliments! And my daughter has taken hers to kura for her kapa to wear for their Harmony Day performance. Which, for a group of college kids to be excited about, is pretty cool. Awesome product! Fast shipping (Ordered and sent THE DAY Cyclone Alfred was due to hit, from the GC! I was so impressed!) Will get more for all the kaupapa now!
