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.
- JMJessica M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoSo Glad Tourmaline is Tourma-MINE!
Tourmaline is THAT GIRL! She can go from the office to the party seamlessly. I love a bold, repeating print, and Tourmaline takes it to the next level by being a classic black-and-white. Thankful that an XS-Long popped back up - I know she will be a closet staple for years to come. And grateful to the Zuri team for the perfectly matching black-and-white beaded keychain.

Love the black and white pattern.
Very elegant. Glad that I finally bought my size.
- LFLara F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGorgeous Tourmaline
Tourmaline quickly became one of my favourites. So happy I decided to take a chance (some say risk) and order it from the US. Customs charged me quite a lot of money, but she is totally worth it. I love how the patern is diagonally placed, with an all black collar. It is a very sophisticated dress, looks good with black trousers/leggings and ballerinas or heels, or just as a dress with golden espadrillos

I missed this when it first came out but snagged it in a restock. It’s now a form favourite.

Wore outside in the Florida humidity and still felt light and easy as I toured the Bonnet House. Beautiful Zuri.
