Elephant Sloe Gin bottle comes with artisanal beaded strings made by Maasai ladies in Kenya. The traditional craft of beadwork accompanies the tribe members throughout their life; often with patterns and colours symbolising marital or social status.

Different bead colours can be used during the composing work with each carrying a specific meaning. On Elephant Sloe Gin bottles we offer 3 eye-catching combinations: green with black and white, white with blue and red, and a multicoloured one with yellow and orange.
