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.

Such gorgeous blues with pops of white. Tish at the SF Fillmore store was telling me some of dresses had the birds looking like they had more of a light blue cast vs being stark white compared to the one I tried on which was super high contrast. I didn’t see any fading or printing dye irregularities with this one.
I love that the print is of doves 🕊️( Paloma means dove in Spanish), but they almost look like abstract hand shapes too. I love the 100% made in Kenya fabric. Lightweight and breathable and keeps me cool even in the warmest weather.

Now we’re talking! In my opinion, this is one of your greatest design choices ever! What a fantastic dress. Classic.
And yes, I have rather more than my share of your wonderful dresses… this one is lighter-weight than some, for what it’s worth, and I like that.
Thank you for your genius, Zuri.

The magic of Paloma (for me) is in its colors and the way they sing a bright song together. The white and turquoise pop like sparkles against the dark blue ground tinged with deep purple. I feel cheerfully alive in this dress. And happily anticipate its versatility. On a warm day, it is perfect by itself. On colder ones I am looking forward to wearing it as a duster with jeans and white shirt below. It will be a pleasure in any weather.
- JWJoyce W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoBeautiful pattern and vibrant color
Beautiful dress. I would say “white” birds are not really white but a very light blue. Love it.
- JWJoyce W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLovely and great customer service
Love the print and the colors. Had an issue with the colors on the dress and it was resolved without issue.
