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!

Orange Theory is just delightful, it’s light, cool and ever so comfortable. No sooner do I wash this one than it’s back on the following day as I love it so much. The colours are soft and perfect for summer, thank you Zuri for such a fabulous dress!
- WSWendy S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoStunning!
Love the vibrant colours on this dress. Great to have a batik in sleeveless & love the two-panel coordinating fabric design. It’s so light & soft, perfect for summer.
- BBecVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoLovely summer dress
This is my first perfectly summery dress from Zuri. I’m always excited for sleeveless dresses as I live in Hong Kong where summers are hot and humid and the long-sleeved dresses are just too much. However, while I love my sleeveless collection so far, the patterned fabrics are still quite heavy and the motifs I’ve liked have all been on a black base. In contrast, this dress is all lighter colours and the weight is a bit lighter than the kitenge/ankara fabrics. Nor does it have the stiffness that can sometimes be present after the batik process.
Colour-wise the dress is definitely orange but leans towards coral or dark peach. I tried taking photos with a literal orange for comparison!
When I first started purchasing Zuri I went with 1X sizes but have since moved to XL for a neater fit. I would say I’m around a UK22 on top and UK24 on bottom - plus-sized and pear-shaped.
