Beads & Blades of Grass-Zulugrass Jewelry Now at Wings
An unlikely grass has become a fashion icon and a symbol of hope for impoverished African communities. Zulugrass jewelry blossomed out of a severe drought that devastated Kenya's pasturelands from 1999-2001, bringing dire conditions to the Maasai people. The only plant able to grow in the extreme conditions was a fibrous, hollow, tough species that was considered worthless.
With the help of designers Philip and Katy Leakey, Zulugrass has become the solution to the devastating conditions facing the Maasai women and children. Wait until you see what these amazing women have created with tiny cut pieces of the grass, dyed brilliant colors, and strung with brilliant Czech glass beads! A single strand can stretch into a hair tie, a choker, a bracelet, or an anklet. Read more about how the Maasai women have begun and sustained an industry that is an inspiration to finding solutions for other global challenges at www.Zulugrass.com .
