Beaded Leather Dog Collars, Dog Leads, Horse Browbands, and Belts
The Kenyan Collection beaded leather product line features true works of art, with no two
collars, lurchers, leads, belts, or horse browbands alike. Hand beaded by the
Maasai mamas in Kenya and imported for sale in the USA, each piece is
created with individual instinctive techniques and designs. Beautiful beading
on sumptuous leather must be seen and touched to be appreciated.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These
items ship directly from the distributor and arrive separately from
other ordered items at the Land of PureGold. It is recommended that if other
types of items are desired that the orders be placed
separately. The line is only available for shipment in the United States.
Most items cannot be shipped to a PO Box.
BEADED LEATHER DOG COLLARS The mamas average the beading for two collars a day. Beads are hand sewn in
leather, then an overlay of leather is glued and stitched on the back. Because
each product in this line is a unique creation, specific designs cannot be
selected, and widths and lengths may vary slightly. Supplies are limited to the
number of pieces that the Maasai are able to produce. The video clip below shows
the painstaking work that goes into creating one of these incredible collars.
Artisans encouraged to create their
own designs. Some patterns similar, but specific designs are not
duplicated.
Buckles, rings, and snaps on leads
are solid hand-cast brass, individually poured.
Collars, leads, and belts lined with fine
leather to protect the beading (and dog from irritation). Weather
resistant shoe glue to attach backing for durable collars.
Beading anchored every 4-8
beads into leather to secure beads.
Collar widths ½, ¾ & 1 inch, 8-24
inches long. Lurchers (2 inches wide tapers to ¾” at closure) in even
lengths of 12-20 inches. Slip collars 2 inches wide, 14-17 inches
long. Martingales 2 inches wide, 14-15 inches long.
In Primary (bright colors), Earth
Tones, Gold Cheetah, Maroon, Black & White Zebra, Circle pattern
(Blue/Brown, Pink/Green or Orange/Green/Yellow), Blue/Green zigzag.
Leads 4 feet, not
for dogs that pull, but can attach to Easy
Walk Harness or Head Collar which
prevents pulling.
Best collar fit: measure dog's
neck and add 1 inch to determine size to purchase. Collars run large.
These collars—as beautiful as they are—are just as sturdy. Stay tuned for photos of Miss Daisy
frolicking in the ocean sporting hers!
Place a piece of string around your dog's neck, noting how much
string it takes. Measure that length of the string by laying it on a ruler or
yard stick. A measuring tape is even better to use.
However many inches you measured, that’s your pet's
neck size.
Add 1 inch to that numberand that is the
value you use when selecting the correct size below for your purchase.
These gorgeous leads are available
in the same color themes noted in the collection's Beaded Collars above.
They are not recommended for those dogs that pull. However, attaching a
lead to an Easy
Walk Harness or Head Collar
prevents pulling. In these cases, the lead should work very well.
As each beaded product is unique,
leads and collars will ordinarily not be exact matches.
The folks at The Kenyan Collection, however, can easily find
complementary pieces so that your ordered collars and leads match quite
well. Just let us know in the comments section of the order whether you
desire such a match to be made. An exact matching set can additionally
be special ordered but will require up to a 10 week delivery time. If
this is desired, simply notate that with your order.
These lovely browbands are hand beaded on fine brown or black leather.
They surely will make your horse stand out among the crowd. They are available
in14 thru 17 inch lengths and in 3 colors themes: primary colors, earth tones,
and the black and white zebra pattern. Just select your desired size and color
theme below.
These
beaded leather belts look stunning paired with
jeans or semi-dressy pants. They are crafted by the same artisans as the most popular dog
collars above. The belts are hand beaded and they are then lined with leather to make them durable and
attractive. The belt's buckles are solid, hand-cast brass, individually poured.
These incredible works of art (disguised as a belts) are available in the same colors as
the dog collars--bright primary colors, muted earth tones, a
black and white "zebra" pattern, a gold "cheetah" pattern,
and a
maroon with patterning. They also are provided in two widths: ¾ inch and 1¼
inch. Sizes are provided from 28 inches to 42 inches in length.
