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.

Perfect maxi for the summer. Wore it all day for the first time from church to poolside book club meeting without missing a beat.

The beautiful peachy-orange of Enigma was what lured me in first. It is lighter in color and feel than Drift, and more casually summery. And then there is the geometric pattern running all over it, giving the dress dynamism and interest. The fabric is light and flowy, making it perfect for warm weather. I want to wear this sunny dress every day! It seems silly to declare every Zuri a new favorite, but it seems to be the case with so many of them. Enigma is an easy favorite - easy to wear and love.

Lovely fabric for warmer days that easily converts to cooler temps with a sweater or kimono - I am wearing a white jean jacket with it today... this print is so easy to wear on a fun, casual outing or add a more formal jacket and an accessory or two and it's immediately much more dressy... love the print and length!!!
- LSLani S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoI love it!
The perfect summer dress! Lightweight fabric in a pretty colour and in a fun design! It’s so comfortable and “airy” feeling.
