About Us

Welcome to Created By Kai!

My name is Karla and working alongside me are my two trusty helpers, Harlem and Kaimanawa (our daughter.) Our Iwi are Ngāi Tahu, Tainui and Ngā Puhi, however we are now based in Tāmaki Makaurau.

I've always been an entrepreneur from a young age but didn't realise what it was. I would create (hideous) art and sell it to my family for some spare coins! I would label each once with the price, and being at the beach often I would collect shells to create art with - those ones would cost ya a shiny gold coin though! 

As I got older I created The Beauty Business NZ. Importing big makeup brands in bulk and selling them for cheaper here. I quickly learnt that it was only ever going to be a hobby and I shut that in 2019.

Fast forward to 2022 our angel was born and I took a drastic drop in income, with the cost of living rising quickly I knew I had to take that step and create our new business which has been sitting in the background for the last few years; I just wasn't ready to take that next step. However now is the time and Created by Kai was born. 

Our website makes it easy for you to shop from the comfort of your own home - without having to worry about tracking your order from another country! Plus we offer overnight shipping so we make sure you get your order sooner rather than later.

We love to make custom made Te Reo & English products. We definitely wish to create more Te Reo rather than English so if you have an idea you wanted brought to life please contact us!
