The Kenyan Collection - Rainbow Beaded Dog Collar
Introducing The Rainbow Beaded Dog Collar: Featuring a vibrant array of rainbow colors arranged in vertical stripes. Set against a rich brown leather base, this collar creates a striking and colorful look that beautifully captures the spectrum of hues, adding a cheerful and eye-catching touch to your dog's 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.
