Introducing our hand-beaded belt made in Kenya, embellished with vibrant sustainable glass beads in an intricate design. Each belt is carefully crafted by our artisans and takes a full day to bead. The genuine leather is sourced from a tannery in Nairobi and the leather is dyed and sun-dried, therefore no two belts are the same.

What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
·Glass — Non-porous and non-reactive. Borosilicate glass (Pyrex-style) resists thermal shock. Tempered glass is 4-5x stronger than regular glass.
·Made by Aspiga in United Kingdom.
·⚠ "Genuine leather" is actually the lowest grade of real leather. It's a marketing term, not a quality indicator. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for leather that will last.

·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.
·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.
·Glass — Dishwasher safe. Handle with care — glass does not flex on impact.
·⚠ Modern "pyrex" (lowercase) uses soda-lime glass, which is less thermal-shock resistant than vintage PYREX (uppercase) borosilicate. Don't take modern pyrex from freezer to oven.

Sustainability

·Aspiga is recognized for sustainable practices across their product line.

Cost Per Use

·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
·Glass — Glass food storage and cookware lasts indefinitely. No staining, no flavor absorption, no chemical leaching.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Accessories). At ~12 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 8 months — and falls to roughly 14¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
