AFRICAN FASHIONS FOR OC
Zulugrass is beautiful handmade jewelry from Kenya available at boutiques sprinkled throughout Orange County.
Natural grass beads dyed in rich hues are combined with hand-blown Czech glass beads to create more than 200 color combinations and styles.
Zulugrass is sophisticated, fun and versatile. You can wear it in single or multiple strands as a necklace, a choker, a hair tie, an anklet and more. It makes a wonderful gift for all ages.
Katy Leakey, a former Newport Beach resident who now lives in Kenya, and her husband Philip Leakey helped create Zulugrass. (Philip is the son of the famed paleo-anthropologists, Drs. Mary and Louis Leakey.)
The couple, who live in the Kenyan bush, founded the Leakey Collection to give local Maasai women a chance to combine their talents and tradition of beading into an opportunity to make a living for their families. The Leakeys design and the Maasai women create the jewelry.
Purchases of Zulugrass can help Maasai families feed, clothe and educate their children. And Zuluwood jewelry, a collection of necklaces, bracelets and earrings made from woods in East Africa are equally beautiful and an attractive complement to Zulugrass. You can find the jewelry at the following OC stores:
