Our Story
“We hope to encourage indigenous communities throughout Aotearoa and abroad to be proud of their whakapapa and cultural identity. Believing that this begins in the home and better yet, from birth, we have curated quality Māori and Pacific Island taonga to embrace your baby in the earliest stages of life”

Ko wai tātou? Ko "BO & KO Baby" mātou. "BO" represents Amy's tama 'Beau', and “KO” represents Dayna's tama 'Koree', our pēpi/pepe are of Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hinerangi, and Samoan descent. We thought it extremely fitting to name our pakihi after our two beautiful boys that made us māmā and gave us the drive and motivation to bring our brand to life.
...
Born from our desire and inspiration to reflect the strength of whānau and immerse our pēpi in their culture from birth, we identified a gap in the market for cultural baby goods. This began our journey to design and offer products that celebrate our heritage, right here in Aotearoa and beyond.
...
At the heart of our pakihi is the love for our whānau, a commitment to revitalising Te Ao Māori and Pacific culture, and a focus on high-quality products.
