Beaded Arc Clutch Bag – Enkoroi Emurat (The Elegant Curve)

More than a mere accessory—this clutch is a timeless invocation of Sleek African Elegance and Precision Craft, perfect for ceremonial moments or chic evening wear.

Introducing the Enkoroi Emurat Beaded Arc Clutch: A sophisticated, fold-over envelope clutch crafted from smooth, durable faux leather. The clean, black silhouette is crowned by a striking, hand-stitched arc of fine Maasai beadwork, making it the perfect blend of traditional artistry and modern style.

Artisan Connection

Handcrafted by a specialized women's artisan collective in Narok County, Kenya, this piece takes the classic Maasai art of tiny-bead application and applies it to a contemporary canvas. The curved design mirrors the shape of the moon (Enekalani) or the elegant sweep of the horizon, symbolizing beauty and cyclical renewal. Each piece is shaped with intention—offering polished elegance, cultural continuity, and direct support to the skilled artisans.
