Designed by textile artist Tammi Williams, she shared with us that this design is "100% inspired by the humble and ubiquitous trees around New York City. They're not exotic trees but they add much needed shade, green space, and beauty to the city and so I decided to show them some respect in my design."

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!

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.

    Lovely print, breezy fabric

    The blue/purple on this dress is my very favorite color, and I like the light summer weight of the fabric. The first dress I ordered fit oddly in the shoulders, but customer service was very helpful and responsive. They suggested an exchange, which went smoothly, and second dress fit as expected! Thanks so much.

    Beautiful summer weight dress.

    I love the violet-blue of the colour periwinkle! This is also a wonderful dress for summer... I have worn it several times in hot weather already: with white jeans, as a duster over wide-legged white pants and with dhite leggings... the light fabric weight feels beautifully breathable in the heat and it's an elegant print.

    Beautiful!

    I love this dress—the periwinkle color, the leaves, and knowing that the designer created it in tribute to the trees of New York City! Trees make a city breathe. It also coordinates beautifully with some Julahas and wool& items I have!
