At Red Weaver Designs, we honor the rich tradition of Maasai beadwork, a craft passed down through generations of women. This cooperative of skilled artisans provides financial independence, a sense of empowerment, and childcare for the women involved. Beadwork is taught from mother to daughter, maintaining the integrity and heritage of this ancient art. Alongside the beadwork, our leather and canvas pieces are expertly crafted using industrial sewing machines, high-quality leather, durable canvas, and polished brass hardware. Each product blends traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, creating stunning, timeless designs that tell a story of culture, skill, and sustainability.
Red Weaver Designs
We create beautiful, high-quality canvas and leather beaded products hand made in Kenya.
We sell our own designs, and we sell bespoke creations to individuals, to retail and to hospitality.
Introduction
Inspired by over 20 years in Kenya, my designs celebrate the country’s wild beauty and vibrant spirit.
Each piece reflects the beauty of Kenyan wildlife from the graceful giraffe and playful zebra to the shimmering sunbird and delicate florals and landscapes.
These are brought to life through craftsmanship and sustainable materials. Working closely with local artisans, I create timeless collections that honour nature, support community and share the beauty of Kenya with the world.
