Maasai Beaded Gladiator Sandals, White and Brown Leather

Handmade brown leather flat sandals with a wide white Maasai beaded ankle cuff and three round beaded medallions running down the toe strap. White is the quiet one in a beaded range. The cuff is broad and unmistakably Maasai, but a white ground with small flecks of red, blue and yellow sits against linen, denim and a summer dress in a way a fully multicoloured pair does not. This is the pair to pack if you only have room for one. The footbed is tan leather with a stitched border running right around the edge. A brown leather strap runs behind the beaded cuff and fastens at the ankle, so these hold to the foot rather than slipping on and off like a plain thong. The toe post is leather, and the three medallions are beaded in concentric rings and stitched to the strap. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth. Keep the beadwork away from perfume, and store the pair flat so the cuff keeps its shape.
