The Babington Collection - Wide Width Belt 1 1/2"
Introducing The Babington Collection: Inspired by the Irish Flag and Equestrian Rider Kevin Babington featuring two distinctive belt designs:
-
Circle of Life belt: This belt showcases a bold pattern with solid green beads accented by vibrant circles in orange and white, creating a striking visual impact.
-
Argyle belt: This design features a classic diamond pattern with a blend of green, orange, and white beads, offering a timeless and elegant look.
Thank you for your support. A generous portion of the proceeds will benefit the Kevin Babington Foundation.
Each creation is meticulously handcrafted by skilled Maasai Mamas using premium, durable leather, with hand-cast buckles and clasps. Crafting one collar takes a Maasai Mama about a day, while a belt requires two days of dedicated beading. The beads are carefully hand-sewn onto the first layer of leather, followed by the addition of high-quality hardware and a second leather layer, which is glued and stitched for added softness and durability.
Our Maasai Mamas are encouraged to infuse each piece with their personal artistic touch, preserving the rich heritage and cultural integrity of their work. This commitment to individuality means that slight variations in design are part of the charm and uniqueness of each item, ensuring that no two are ever the same.
The Significance of Color:
-
Green: Echoes the land that nurtures and sustains life, signifying nourishment, growth, and territorial protection.
-
Orange: Reminds of the gourd used to share milk with guests, embodying hospitality, generosity, and warmth.
-
White: Reflects the purity and nourishment provided by cow’s milk, representing health and vitality.
