It takes a Maasai Mama 2 days to create the beading for a belt. She has artistic freedom for each design and is encouraged to safeguard cultural integrity. The beading is hand sewn onto the first layer of leather. A workshop in Nairobi adds hand-cast hardware and a second layer of leather. The result is a strong, supple, leather belt with beading that will be a unique part of your riding or everyday wardrobe. Mary's has the Indigo Stars and Silver Disc designs on black leather and the Arani and Earth designs on brown leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Instructions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen choose 2 sizes larger than pant size;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMen choose 1 size larger than pant size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also measure one of your current belts from the beginning of the leather at the buckle and to the hole that fits you best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach Bead Color Has a Meaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite: Cow's Milk that nourishes; purity, health of tribe and lifestock\u003cbr\u003eBlack: Daily struggles, unity, harmony, solidarity\u003cbr\u003eOrange: Gourd used to share milk; hospitality, genrosity, friendship, warmth\u003cbr\u003eGreen: Land; nourishment, production, roots, protection of one's territory\u003cbr\u003eYellow: The Sun; fertility, growth\u003cbr\u003ePurple: Wealth, pride, creativity\u003cbr\u003eRed: Bravery, strength, unity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue: Color of the Sky that provides for water, energy and sustenance to the Masai Tribes and their livestock\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Kenyan Collection","offers":[{"title":"28","offer_id":49005174227246,"sku":"210000018605","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32","offer_id":49005174260014,"sku":"210000018606","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30","offer_id":49005174292782,"sku":"210000018685","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/1175\/6334\/files\/wn56eofbgf4kniujtuey.png?v=1725108558"},{"product_id":"the-kenyan-collection-earth-beaded-belt","title":"The Kenyan Collection Earth Beaded Belt","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Kenyan Collection Earth Beaded Belt – Wide Width (1.5 Inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a touch of artistry and cultural heritage to your wardrobe with The Kenyan Collection Earth Beaded Belt.
