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.
- PLP L. W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoThis dress called to me.
The original Reading Rainbow was many people's unicorn dress but it never did that much for me. But this new version with it's much funkier wavy background is so very very fun and special! I had to have it! It's yellow and red but reads as orange and the whole dress rocks. It sends a message - reading is very cool! And the coolest of all is wearing this dress while reading!
The fabric is the 100% Kenyan lighter weight cotton. Some people love it. Others don't. I love it for hot summer days. In winter I'll be wearing it over a wool layer and look forward to choosing fun tights (from Snag) to keep me warm.
- CKCheri K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoFinally! More books!
I think the previous book print must be the one I hear wished for the most among Zuri wearers. I'm so happy to see books on a Zuri dress again, and thrilled with the colors. Such a fun, vibrant print! Mine looks more red in person than many of the model photos.
As usual, medium is slightly tight in the shoulders (any chance gussets might be added someday) but overall my better fit.
- SKSuzie K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoBest Read Ever!
I was eagerly anticipating this dress and it definitely does not disappoint! The colors are bright and cheerful and the material is nice and light. Definitely one of my faves!
- MJMichelle J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoSuch a fun print!
This dress is a compliment magnet! The colors are harmonious and flattering, and the light material is perfect for 3 seasons.
- VSVictoria S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoI love this sequel! I love a good read.
I've been beside myself with glee to have Readux, and plan to wear it to read to young and old alike. Thank you for this great pattern. I'd just obtained #readingroom and they are splendid together.
