The Kenyan Collection - Maasai Shield Belt in Standard Width
Introducing The Maasai Shield Belt Belt - Standard with a width of 1 1/4 inches: featuring a vibrant design with red, white, and black beads arranged in a dynamic circular pattern on a sleek black leather strap. This striking mix of colors and patterns adds a playful and stylish touch, while the leather ensures both durability and elegance.
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.
