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.

I walked into the Zuri shop while on a visit to NYC, instantly recognizing a fellow Zurista I have followed on Social media and also immediately gravitating toward this Autumn hued print. These retro colors of my youth make my 70s heart happy. The print is cheeky and yet subtly bold. I can't say I gave it too much thought online but in person it's soft curves and rings definitely grabbed my attention.
I have two sleeveless Zuris but this is my first sleeveless Maxi. I absolutely adore it and now wish some of my regular length dresses were also Maxi. This Maxi style definitely demands attention. It is both strikingly handsome AND flowy and feminine. For its inaugural wear I styled it over a wool dress and headed to Broadway where it was the perfect compliment for a fall night out on the town. Casually, I will wear this in the classroom teaching. It's incredibly comfortable with lots of movement.
I simply adore this in person score.

The blues are actually warm tones so I like them and the fabric is light and will be wonderful in the summer. For early fall in Chicago I went with layers….
