To Bead or Not to Bead?

To bead is ALWAYS the correct answer!

Although our waist beads are beautifully handmade in Ghana, trust us when we say that we sing the “Waist beads from Yoruba – Woo” line the LOUDEST when listening to Beyoncé’s new song, Black Parade. If you haven’t heard it yet then sis…check it out ASAP, Beyoncé sings meaningful & relatable lyrics throughout the track!

Anyway, back to the reason we are all here…byKaiem Waist beads.

African waist beads were traditionally worn around a woman's waist to help her watch her weight and to draw attention to her femininity. Fast forward to 2020 and many women both home in Africa & in the diaspora are still wearing waist beads for a variety of reasons including: to watch/ control their weight and…to highlight their SNATCHED waist.

Our waist beads are hand strung together by skilled artisans in Ghana, which means that, just like our body types, every single string of beads is unique! Women of ALL shapes and sizes can wear byKaiem waist beads – they are for EVERYONE! Each strand is between 40-45 inches long and can be easily self-tied around your waist. And…you have the ability to mix & match the single-strand waist beads to suit your preference and create your own exclusive look!
