The Kenyan Collection - Marula Beaded Dog Collar
Introducing The Marula Beaded Dog Collar: Featuring a playful blend of orange and mauve beads, set against a classic brown leather base. This unexpected color combination adds a fun and distinctive touch, while the leather provides a durable and stylish 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:
-
Orange: Reminds of the gourd used to share milk with guests, embodying hospitality, generosity, and warmth.
-
Black - Representing the color of the people and the daily struggles they endure. Black symbolizes the unity, harmony, and solidarity of the Maasai Tribe.
