Fuck yeah!
Fifteen minutes.
That’s how quickly one manager of an Auckland Warehouse Extra said te Wiki o te Reo Māori merchandise, which the Warehouse created in collaboration with Te Taura Whiri i te reo Māori, sold out in the weekend.
But the man behind the collaboration said the sight of the merch selling out so quickly was “so overwhelming … I went back to my car, I sat down, and I had a little tangi (cry)”.
“It was emotionally overwhelming to see the kaupapa that we’d worked on with Te Taura Whiri, and internally, within our team, to get this range going really quickly. To see the public response, I was overwhelmed.”
David Seymour might be hell bent on destroying one of our greatest treasures… but Kiwis are happy to say otherwise.
