From time to time we are asked for bags to store korowai or kahu huruhuru in, similar to what other people are offering.  We do not recommend that korowai are stored in bags, and here's why.

Let me preface this explanation by telling you my university degree includes textile science, particularly clothing restoration and storage.  

Our korowai are made from natural chicken feathers, with natural cotton fabric as backing. Natural fibres should never be stored in synthetic bags.  Instead, the korowai should be wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, and stored flat in a cardboard or wooden box (as these "breathe").   Keep the box in a dry cupboard.  Inspect the korowai from time to time, to make sure no bugs have got into the box.

If you want to keep your korowai on the wall, put it behind glass, and away from any direct sunlight.  Remember that the odd feather may fall from the natural effects of gravity, so make your glass cabinet easy to access from behind.
