Our Story

Ruiha Studios was created during a season of change, growth, and new beginnings.

Founded in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the idea for Ruiha Studios began during pregnancy and early motherhood. What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into something more, a desire to create beautiful, thoughtfully designed pieces that felt both practical and timeless.

At the heart of Ruiha Studios is a love for connection, craftsmanship, and the stories woven into the things we carry with us every day. Inspired by the artistry of weaving and the strength found in life's journeys, each design is created with intention and purpose.

Our first release, Poi, reflects this vision. Crafted from premium vegan leather, Poi combines everyday functionality with timeless design. Designed to move effortlessly with you, it is a piece created to be worn, loved, and lived in.

Ruiha Studios is more than handbags. It is a celebration of thoughtful design, meaningful beginnings, and creating pieces that become part of your story.

This is only the beginning. Designed in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
