Introducing our hand-beaded Leather Belt made in Kenya, embellished with vibrant sustainable glass beads in an intricate design. Each belt is carefully crafted by our artisans and takes a full day to bead. The genuine leather is sourced from a tannery in Nairobi and the leather is dyed and sun-dried, therefore no two belts are the same.

Sustainability

Why choose our belts?

Our glass beads are fully recyclable and are coloured using natural dyes.

Glass beads are a particularly good alternative to plastic beads because when it breaks down, it remains safe and stable and releases no harmful chemicals into the surrounding environment. Glass also takes far less energy to produce and has a long life span.

By rejecting leather we would destroy many jobs for individuals who rely on the leather industry for their livelihood.

We only use leather byproducts from the meat industry. The leather would otherwise be wasted.

Additionally, our leather is only coloured using natural dyes. It will last a lifetime and be passed on to future generations. It is the antithesis of fast fashion.
The belt bags are made by the Heri Girls who are part of the Elimu Sewing Project in Kenya which supports young women from vulnerable backgrounds to pursue a 2-year training program which equips them with income-generating skills and a sewing trade.
