Fashion is always changing. Fashion is up and down and all around this year. A very important part of our wardrobe, amongst many other items, are the beaded belts. One can choose different designs of beaded belts. With a lot of the belts with the vertical design, different coloured beads and the leather straps are handed out to the women, who take them home, where they create their own designs. The belts are lined, hand stitched, bevelled and polished. The buckle used is made out of recycled brass and is totally hand cast. The result is flawless, a beautiful belt of the finest quality.

One of the most popular designs used today are the discs on the belt. The inspiration of this design comes from the Maasai people who use a lot of beaded disc work in their designs. Some of the colours used are not that which the Maasai would use, but we have used these colours to suit the western market.

All the time our designs are changing and the inspiration of these ideas comes not only from the Maasai but from different groups of people living in other parts of Africa. A lot of my inspiration comes from the Wodaabe people, a desert group, living in Mali, Mauritania and Niger.

Bags are always a favorite; you can never have enough of them. Soft leathers, straw and fabrics are very in. Larger sized bags are big. Look for lots of gathered ends on the top and visible pockets on the outside. Straw is hot in all colors and new styles, crochet and appliques are abundant. You will see more simple designs rather than the artistic designs. Stick with simple if your outfit is strikingly fabulous. When going for a more conservative or simple style, then go with a more artistic bag to set it off.
