Shades of Grey The Kenyan Collection Beaded Belts
from $185.50
Every piece is individually handcrafted using high-quality and hard-wearing leather and hand-cast buckles & clasps. It takes on average a day for a mama to bead a dog collar and 2 days to bead a belt. The beads are hand sewn on the first layer of leather. Our workshop in Nairobi then adds the hardware and the second layer of leather, glued & sewn to the back for softness & durability.
The Maasai mamas are given artistic freedom to express their artistic flair with each and every design, to encourage and safeguard the integrity of their culture. This is the beauty of our product offering and our wish to avoid mass-produced identical products. As such, a slight difference in design is to be expected.
Every bead color means something different to the Maasai mamas.
White - Represents the color of cow’s milk that provides sustained nourishment. White symbolizes purity and the health of the Maasai Tribe and their livestock.
Black - Representing the color of the people and the daily struggles they endure. Black symbolizes the unity, harmony, and solidarity of the Maasai Tribe.
Not just a pretty collar or belt – these are made to be enjoyed.
