Antassia Beaded Bag: Peach and Silver

Intricately beaded and expertly assembled by hand - these pouches catch the glimmer of the northern Kenyan sun where they are crafted by the Maasai women who reside there. This project is spearheaded by Antonia Stogdale, who reinterprets the beading skills passed on through generations into modern creations for a Western market. Her philosophy is to preserve the Maasai way of life by harnessing the beading skills of the women, something which does not interfere with their other household duties, but builds a sustainable source of income for the women and their families.

Each bag is one of a kind, sturdy in its construction and lined with soft silk. Metallic talismans of different shades are affixed to the magnetic flip-top closure for texture and intrigue. A silver chain can also be found to turn your clutch into a crossbody. A lovely accessory, for everyday use or an evening get-together.

Due to the unique nature of each piece, variations may differ from the image provided.
