Collection: Collars & Leads

The Masai Collection - Collars & Leads

Having wonderful memories of my time in Kenya and having named our 2 Ridgebacks Masai & Mara, how could we resist supporting the tribes people this most magical & beautiful country.

The Masai have for decades beaded necklaces to tell a story of the wearer, their social & marital status, age and key events in their life such as children berth.

The Masai women handcraft each individual piece using high quality and hard-wearing leather and hand-cast buckles & clasps. Each beaded product takes on average a day to produce. Each row of beads are hand sewn on the first layer of leather, with a second layer glued & sewn to the back for neck softness & durability.
