MAASAI WOMEN ART VINTAGE COLLECTION 2014-2015

NOT JUST JEWELRY

BEADING FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Tanzania Maasai Women Art is a local self-sustained non for profit organization that helps empowering the Maasai women communities in Northern Tanzania by generating an alternative income through their traditional beading skills. Thanks to Art Director Francesca Torri Soldini who has been volunteering her time and expertise from the very beginning of this project in 2006, and IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) with its students from all over the world, Maasai tradition and beading techniques have remained the same while innovative and unique new designs are created every year to suit the international market.

This year TMWA is glad to present a selection of the more sucessful designs from previous collections. We have added a new combination of colors and some small variations here and there.

Please remember that the jewlery is handmade and each piece is unique and might be slightly different.
