Sidai Designs Elastic Tassel Wrap Bracelet

An elastic wrap bracelet made with glass beads from Maasai craftswomen

Description

Why We Love This

We love the whimsical nature of this double strand of tiny glass beads and bright cotton tassel. A youthful bracelet inspired by the young daughters of the Maasia women who crafted it. Available in three color combinationsónavy, olive, and orange.

Story

Endito, translated in the tribal Maa language, means daughter. This collection of simple, colorful bracelets is inspired by the jewelry worn by the young girls-the daughters-in the Maasai tribe. They are the Enditos. Its beauty can be found in its simplicity, but also in the maker’s efforts to lift the burden of economic hardship for the Maasai people. Their aim is to provide opportunity so that the women collaborating may eventually be able to lift themselves out of poverty.
