Stunning leather collars for greyhounds, whippets and lurchers. Made by the tribes people of magical and beautiful Kenya. These captivating hound collars are finished with coloured beads in various patterns and designs or stripes. No single collar is ever the same. Incredibly beautiful.
'Earth' is made with shades of brown, black, white and gold coloured beads, 'Bright' is multi-coloured, 'Sky' features shades of gold and browns with sky blue and 'Pastel' has soft pinks, yellows, oranges, greens and blues and 'Pride' is very proud indeed!. All in various patterns, shades and designs. The 'Classic' option are the more traditional Massai designs and 'Circles' designs include circular patterns too. Or go for stripes in vibrant blue or red shades.
Either way, no collar is ever the same. The images shown are for reference only, to give you an idea of the various colours and designs.
Masai people have beaded necklaces and wristbands for decades to tell a story of the wearer, their social and marital status, age and key events in their life.
The Masai women handcraft each individual collar using quality dark brown leather which they adorn with beads. A second layer of leather is then glued and sewn to the back. The collars also feature hand-cast buckles and clasps. Very special and stunning to wear.
Please note that the bead colours and designs vary from collar to collar and from those pictured. The images simply give an idea of the colours of the beads used and the variety of designs. The Maasai women are given total free range to express their artistic flair on each and every design, to encourage and safe guard the integrity of their culture. This is the beauty of this product.

Leather Care
Treat the leather well and it will grow even more beautiful with age. To clean, rinse in warm water then treat with Neatsfoot Oil for waterproofing or saddle soap. This will keep the leather healthy and supple. Avoid contact with salt (sea) water and chemicals (e.g. cleaning products, flea treatments).
