Nordsman Manawa Tapu

Artist In Residence: Manawa Tapu

Tristan (Manawa Tapu) is of Te Rewara descent from The Far North region of New Zealand. His tattoo style blends his knowledge of both traditional Maori art and woodcarving that’s been passed down for hundreds of years.

Roark is proud to present a collection designed entirely alongside Manawa Tapu, implementing his art throughout each and every piece. This version of The Nordsman, our most trusty flannel, is made from a heavyweight cotton using Manawa Tapu’s art throughout.

Proceeds from every sale will be donated to KidsCan, an NZ-based charity that helps give kids affected by poverty the essentials for a brighter future.
