Why it's on The Cornrow?
We couldn’t celebrate Oshun energy Category without waistbeads! Oshun is the West African Orisha (Deity) of feminine energy and sensuality and is often depicted wearing waistbeads. Sourced direct from Nigeria we curated this waistbead set to reflect our Cornrow vibe with gorgeous earthy tones.
Beyonce opens her "Black is King" visual album by stating that "history is our future" and proceeds to give us a masterclass in the history and future of the Black aesthetic. Waist beads were a beautiful part of our story and we are excited to offer a curated waist bead edit on The Cornrow.

With a deep passion for homeware, books, and lifestyle products that celebrate the Black experience, the sisters scour the globe for joyful representations of their culture. Kemi, who left a career in corporate finance during the UK lockdown, is the driving force behind The Cornrow, sharing her love for the brand on Instagram @CottageNoir.
