The Kenyan Collection - Beaded Leather Tassel
Handcrafted by the Maasai Mamas in Kenya, each Beaded Leather Tassel is a unique work of art. No two tassels are identical, reflecting the individuality of its creator. Measuring approximately 10 inches in total length (including the loop), with the tassel itself about 5 inches long and the beaded base around 1 inch in diameter, this tassel offers both beauty and versatility.
Use it to enhance your space or style in countless ways—whether as a fan pull, a chic addition to your purse or backpack, a decorative touch on doorknobs, or even as a stylish accent for lamp switches. We’d love to hear your creative ideas!
Available in Multiple vibrant color options
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.
While we keep a large inventory, some items may need to be custom-made in Kenya. We will notify you within 48 hours if your order requires production. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing our collection.
