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!
When we say 100% Made in Kenya, we really mean it! Made from cotton grown in western Kenya and designed, printed and stitched outside of Nairobi, it doesn't get more local than this! We’re so proud to be part of an ecosystem supporting and advocating for Kenyan agriculture and manufacturing. Learn more about these fabrics are made here!
The ecosystem for rotary printed fabrics is complex and truly global. While it's rare to see a rotary printed textile produced in a closed-circuit, farm-to-shop supply chain, the fabrics we're producing are verifiably 100% made in Kenya. Not just traceable, but local. Not just identifiable, but ethical and accountable.
Our production impacts hundreds of smallholder farmers and their families each year. It impacts young Kenyan artists whose voices and work may now have a slightly bigger audience (and fan club:) ). It impacts the Kenyan textile manufacturing industry, which for years has been out-competed in the local market by imported fabrics. Finally, it impacts you, because you can know that your dress was made ethically, honestly, and with pride.
- MPMariclair P. C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsYesterdayLightweight but beautiful
I generally prefer the weight of the batik dresses, but couldn’t turn down this vibrant red, yellow, and blue print. I got it to wear for my stints as Mystery Reader dress for a local preschool, but am not sure the fabric will hold up to lots of time with small kids- it is a lighter weight like the filler fabrics that many of the bags are made with, which is the only reason it didn’t get 5 stars.

Even though I had an earlier (cherished) version of this print, I could not resist this new version and its happy colors. This delightful dress is light in fabric, but still great for a Fall day. It brings instant joy and lightness to the steps. Great for pairing with jeans and boots - as well as for wearing it as a dress. A versatile conversation piece, too. Another superb Zuri.

I love the light fabric and the fantastic design. So colorful, it really stands out.
- KGKathleen G. C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoAnother Great Print
As an avid reader I naturally had to purchase this dress. Obviously I love the print, but also the beautiful colors, the high quality material, and the comfortable fit of the garment.

The colors are stunning in this Zuri!
I received several compliments at a recent concert event. It's also perfect for school.
Festive and fun, this bibliophile is a fan!
