"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." However, we all know that old childish taunt is just not true! Adults, as well as children, thrive on positivefeedback, and we at The Leakey Collection are no exception to that. We LOVE hearing from you. Don’t ...
Aren’t friends the best? What fun it is to spend an evening with other women, enjoying their companionship and conversation! That’s one activity that I do miss living in Kenya but was thrilled to have the opportunity my last week in California! B...

Katy Leakey rises early, has breakfast with her husband, Philip, and heads to the 12-foot-by-12-foot office where she spends much of her workday.
The snarling leopard propelled Kimberly into one of the fastest runs of her 23 years. Walking back to camp from the workshop one August afternoon, her mind languishing on the fun she’d had with the Maasai women earlier in the day and listening to music on her Ipod, she disturbed ...
The Leakey Collection supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month by offering our specially designed pink Zulugrass jewelry, but we were still curious when we recently received an order for 20 (yes, 20) Fight for a Cure Hangtags! As usual, we are continually amazed by you, our wonderful partners...
The Leakey Collection Much to my disappointment, I found in my forties that I had inherited my mother’s scaly dry skin. Alligators wear their patchy skin nicely, but my mother and I didn’t, and no product seemed to have a hope of returning the soft silky skin of youth – until now! Read on for the full story. This will be available on our site and in select stores very soon!
Vicki Lahna Hi Katy, I met you about 3 years ago in Dresden Ohio at a store called the Charm of Dresden and injoyed talking to you very much, we talked about you writing a book on your adventures on how The Leakey collection started.

The Leakey Collection
Philip and Katy Leakey’s vision for The Leakey Collection was to utilize their artistic talent and passion for African culture to create beautiful, stylish and sustainable products; while providing a much needed income for members of the Maasai tribe in Kenya. One of the product lines to grow out of this vision is Zul...uwood Jewelry; designed by the Leakeys and handcrafted by the Maasai women of Kenya. Made from native woods of Eastern Africa, ZuluWood necklaces and earrings are the natural compliment to Zulugrass jewelry.
The Leakey Collection uses only fallen dead wood from environmentally sustainable areas in its wood products. Zuluwood Jewelry is available in necklaces, bracelets and matched sets at http://www.leakeylife.com. All wood used to make any wooden products are collected from fallen wood of sustainable species such as varieties of acacia, and utilizes environmental sustainable methods of planning and collection. In addition, wood is hand tooled and burnished; there is no wax, lacquer or varnish used on any of the wood beads or wooden products. Such careful and innovative management of natural resources resulted in The Leakey Collection being awarded the Environment Conscious award from the Association of Makers and Exporters of Gifts and Allied Articles of Kenya.
It is no wonder that the fabulous Zuluwood necklaces are featured in the July 2008 In Style Magazine!
