Each dog collar is available in four different widths to suit your pet's comfort and style:

• Narrow: 1/2" wide
• Standard: 3/4" wide
• Wide: 1" wide
• Lurcher: 2" wide, tapering to 3/4" at the buckle

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.  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.

The Significance of Color:

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. 

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.
