The Kenyan Collection - Kona Belt - Wide Width Introducing Kona Belt - Wide with a width of 1 1/2 inches: Discover our exquisitely crafted beaded belts, each with cultural significance rooted in the Maasai Tribe of Kenya. The Kona Belt features a striking pattern of black, pink, and white beads. The triangular designs symbolize the "corners" (Kona in Swahili) that eventers navigate in competition, merging traditional artistry with a touch of equestrian flair. 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. 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: Black: Symbolizes the people’s unity, harmony, and strength in facing daily challenges. White: Reflects the purity and nourishment provided by cow’s milk, representing health and vitality. Our products are more than just accessories—they are crafted to be cherished and enjoyed. While we keep a significant stock on hand, some items may need to be custom-made in Kenya. If your order requires production, we will notify you within 48 hours. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our handcrafted collection. Sizing instructions: https://www.thekenyancollection.com/pages/sizing-instructions
