"Arani Dots" Beaded Dog Lead

Whimsical Dots on brown leather.

Leads are not recommended for dogs that pull or for dogs over 50 pounds.

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.

Red - Representing the bravery, strength, and unity of the Maasai Tribe as they face incredible challenges each day. 

Purple - Symbolizes wealth, pride, and creativity the Maasai Tribe show in their work every day.

Blue - Represents the color of the sky that provides water, energy, and sustenance for the Maasai Tribe and their livestock. 

Green - Representing the land that provides food for the Maasai Tribe and their livestock. Green symbolizes nourishment, production, the putting down of roots, and the protection of one’s territory.

Orange - Representative of the color of a gourd which is used to share milk with guests and welcome visitors into one’s home. Orange symbolizes the hospitality, generosity, friendship, and warmth of the Maasai Tribe.

Yellow - Represents the color of the sun which helps grow the grass to feed the livestock and sustain life. Yellow symbolizes the fertility and growth of the Maasai Tribe and their livestock. 

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.

Not just a pretty collar or belt – these are made to be enjoyed.
