"Maasai Shield" Beaded Dog Lead

The Kenyan Collection - Maasai Shield Beaded Dog Lead

Leads are not suitable for dogs that pull excessively or for dogs weighing over 50 pounds.

Introducing The Maasai Shield Beaded Dog Lead: featuring a dynamic pattern of red, white, and black beads arranged in an eclectic design with circles, set against a sleek black leather backdrop. The random pattern adds a sense of playfulness and energy, while the circular beadwork provides an eye-catching texture and depth. The black leather base not only contrasts strikingly with the colorful beads but also ensures durability and a comfortable fit for your dog. This collar is a perfect blend of cultural heritage and contemporary style, making it both a fashionable and meaningful choice.

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:

• Red - Representing the bravery, strength, and unity of the Maasai Tribe as they face incredible challenges each day. 
• White: Reflects the purity and nourishment provided by cow’s milk, representing health and vitality.
• Black: Symbolizes the people’s unity, harmony, and strength in facing daily challenges.
