The Leaky Collection

At Our Green House, we love carrying products that have a positive impact on the world.  We are proud to carry jewelry from The Leaky Collection, a wonderful company that that employs native African tribes to create unique pieces and gives back to the community.  Katy and Phillip Leaky founded the company in 2002 and have been working since then to create beautiful pieces that are recognized by the Fair Trade Federation and Green America.

"Based in the Rift Valley of Kenya, East Africa, these renowned designers used natural elements of fallen wood, sustainable grass and “bush fired” porcelain to create uniquely exotic products. Each colorful piece contains vibrant design appeal while giving back to those that produce it.

The Leakey Collection protects the environment while giving economic opportunity to local communities in Kenya. Its natural elegance distinguishes this high end product line as one of the world's premier offerings."

We are excited to carry an array of pieces from The Leaky Collection, and we love how buying a piece of beautiful jewelry can have a great impact on others.

Zulugrass -

the most versatile jewelry you'll ever own Zulugrass 27" single strands are made from sustainable, natural grass beads. The richly hued grass is dyed with colorfast, low-impact dyes and interspersed with hand-blown Czech glass. Strung on elastic, it can be worn as a bracelet, necklace, anklet, hair tie and more. Zulugrass is as creative as the individual that buys it! Zulugrass is a means for the rural, nomadic Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania to make a living and provide for their children's education.

The video below gives instructions on the many ways to wear Zulugrass.
