Dada Designs

Women supporting Women.

Artists supporting artists.

Sisters supporting Sisters.

The Swahili word for sister is “Dada”.

That is why I called this company Dada, to speak to the incredible talent of the sisters of my heart who deserve all the support we can send their way.

All of Dada’s beadwork is made by Maasai women in Kenya. We support women by working with them to find new modern ways to keep their traditional beadwork alive. Maasai are some of the most talented bead artists in the world and we love supporting the Mothers and Aunties of the community, keeping everyone clothed, fed and in school.

Please Bear with us as we continue to edit this website

Our beadwork is made in collaboration with Maasai women in Narok County, Kenya. Our goal is to preserve the traditional methods of beadwork, passed down from generation to generation and give it a new medium! Our clothes are sourced from Thrift Shops in Nairobi and brought to Narok where we meet to collaborate on the design. The earrings are made by the incredible maasai women who support their community.
