Meet our production partner, SOKO Kenya! Based in Kikambala on the Kenyan coast, they are an ethical manufacturer that truly embraces a fair, kind and transparent work culture. In addition to paying above living wages, SOKO provides employees with paid leave and stipends for family emergencies, free pre-primary childcare for all employees with children from ages 2-4, daily mid-morning tea and midday lunch, and clear, outlined processes for job advancement. These values extend to the workspace itself, which is open, airy and bright. It’s truly a privilege to work with the SOKO team, and we invite you to learn more about the stitching process here!
We're so proud to be working with Edwina and her cooperative of batik dyers in Accra, Ghana, to make these prints! Learn more about these fabrics here!
In order to create a batik fabric, recycled wax is melted and applied to the fabric using a stamped pattern. Edwina carves each stamped design herself in foam, which is easier to repurpose and work with than wood. Together with several women in Accra, Ghana, Edwina and her team always create designs that play on both pattern and layered color in a truly original way. Since we began working together in 2018, we've produced over 40 unique textiles together, keeping them in continuous production since we started. We're so honored to share this collaboration with Edwina and her team!

Every time I wear this shirt I receive compliments from coworkers & strangers. It’s lightweight but not see through enough to require an undershirt. Perfect summer top. No bleeding in the wash. I placed a color trap sheet the first wash and it came out clean.
Zuri OU3 months agoHi Amanda!
Thank you so much for your review of your new top! We're so happy to hear that not only have you been loving your Ombre Shirt but also with others! It's always so special when a piece creates those delightful connections! The way you've described the perfect balance of the fabric, being lightweight yet maintaining that ideal opacity, is exactly what we aimed for when designing this piece.
We especially appreciate you sharing your experience with the color fastness - it's wonderful to know that the dyes are performing beautifully and maintaining their vibrant quality through washing.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us and for being such a cherished part of our community! <3
Much love,
Charlotte from Zuri

I took a chance on the Ombre shirt and like it.

Such a sophisticated shirt! I’ve paired it with black pants and can’t wait to wear it with a white pair to complete my coastal chic look for the summer.
- VSVashon S.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars2 months agoLove the style, color a bit surprising
I am a long time fan of Zuri dresses. This is the first time I purchased shirt. I know the colors are the 'art' but the one of received doesn't get as dark at the bottom as I would have liked. Definitely keeping, just different than expected.
