The Kenyan Collection - Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow (YTT) Beaded Dog Collar
Introducing The Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow (YTT) Beaded Dog Collar: Featuring inspiration from the vibrant blooms of Kenya, showcasing a dynamic gradient of colors that shift from deep purple to pale lavender to almost white in a beautiful, random pattern. Each collar is meticulously handcrafted to reflect the evolving hues of these enchanting flowers, creating a striking and unique accessory that celebrates the passage of time with elegance and artistry. Gift your furry friend this exquisite collar to celebrate their timeless charm and style.
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:
-
Purple: Represents wealth, pride, and creativity, showcasing the Maasai Tribe’s vibrant spirit and craftsmanship.
-
Green: Echoes the land that nurtures and sustains life, signifying nourishment, growth, and territorial protection.
-
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.
