The Kenyan Collection – Zazu Beaded Belt Wide Width

Available February 15th, 2025

Introducing The Zazu Beaded Belt – Wide with a width of 1 1/2 inches: featuring an Aztec pattern, meticulously beaded onto sleek black leather. This belt combines a touch of nature’s beauty with artisanal craftsmanship, offering a delightful and stylish accessory for any outfit. Whether paired with jeans and a T-shirt or used as a bold statement over a tunic or simple dress, it effortlessly elevates your look.

Aztec design is characterized by a combination of bright colors, geometric patterns and symbolic imagery that draws inspiration from their culture.

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:

• Yellow: Represents the suns role in fostering growth and sustaining life, symbolizing fertility and prosperity.
• White: Reflects the purity and nourishment provided by cows milk, representing health and vitality.
