Kete | Flax - Harakeke | Bernadette Ross

Kete | Flax | Harekeke

Handwoven from natural harakeke, this kete by Bernadette Ross is both a functional vessel and a powerful expression of cultural tradition. For generations, kete have been used to gather, carry and store treasured items, while also representing the knowledge, stories and values passed from one generation to the next.

The intricate weaving reflects patience, skill and a deep connection to the natural world. Each strand of flax is carefully interlaced, creating strength through unity — a reminder that communities, families and histories are woven together in much the same way.
