Tipatet Saroni Nasipa
From Maasai land to the world
Nasipa Beadit and Seley Leather — Maasai (Maa) beadwork and full-grain leather handicrafts, built for hands, homes, and stages far beyond the savanna.
House of beads
Nasipa Beadit
Nasipa Beadit maps ancestral Maa colour — red for bravery, blue for sky and water, green for land, white for purity — into jewellery, beaded hats, dresses, jewellery pots, and the small sacred objects of daily life.
House of hide
Seley Leather
Seley Leather cuts full-grain hide into leather bags, leather handbags, belts, and wallets with architectural discipline. When beadwork meets leather, the house signature appears: modern silhouette, ceremonial pulse.
