WAIST BEADS BY FATOU
Fine handcrafted beaded adornments made with genuine love and care.
Waist Beads, n. A single or multiple strands of beads made from various kinds of glass, metal, crystal, bone, and wooden beads worn around the waist and stomach. This is an ancient tradition originating in Africa, worn for many reasons like expression of femininity, healing, protection, rites of passage during puberty, baby naming ceremony, maintaining the figure, and intimacy with a husband or lover. Rather worn for traditional reasons or fashion waist beads are the perfect tool to tap into the spirit of our ancestors while looking and feeling beautiful from the inside out.

I really love my beads but I ordered the actual set and I still haven’t gotten the red and white beads to go with my pink beads and I have been writing customer service and Fatou personally and I haven’t gotten a response yet so I can receive my other beads

Passion Set
I love my waist beads. They look beautiful. I ordered the mystery bag which came with 10 waist beads for $65. Beads came with simple instructions for tying them on. They also came in a nice dust bag for storage. I believe I received them within 10 days of ordering. Will definitely order from Fatou again.

The color!
The blue ruby color is stunning on this brown skin. I’ve been ordering for years and they never disappointed. The string is sturdy and does not break or come off until I cut it off!!
