KALI BEADED HALTER
- Description
- KEY FEATURES
- CARE GUIDE
Rooted in heritage, sculpted for now. The Kali Beaded Halter is a rare composition of antique brass beads sourced from across Africa—each one a relic of trade, history, and hand-to-hand storytelling.
Hand-stitched onto buttery yet strong post-production luxury leather collected locally in Kenya, this piece redefines adornment: neither jewelry nor garment, but a living sculpture. Designed with a high neckline and fluid drape, the halter sits like a second skin—sensual, strong, and grounding.
A limited-edition statement that transcends trend, designed for collectors of beauty, meaning, and craftsmanship.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your piece to be dispatched. International tracking available via DHL Express.

From Scrap to Statement
Post-USE Metal, Reimagined
We work with Kenyan artisans to collect discarded sinks, padlocks, and other salvaged metals, melting them down and hand-casting them into one-of-a-kind buttons and adornments inspired by indigenous rocks, flora, and coral textures.

Every Piece Uniquely Moulded
Each metal component is poured and carved by hand in small-batch processes, meaning no two embellishments are ever the same—imbuing every piece with texture, story, and a bold, low-impact finish.
