Little Taonga means treasure or prized possession in Maori culture. Each design captures a little something to be treasured - the places, nature, and icons that make Aotearoa New Zealand so special. Little Taonga treasures are designed by Ngāi Tahu and Rangitāne artist, Cezanne Lyons, drawing inspiration from her culture and love for Aotearoa. Cezanne lives in Mangamaunu, a picturesque coastal settlement just north of Kaikōura, where much of her inspiration comes from being surrounded by spectacular nature, wildlife, and rich culture.
