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!
We're so proud to be working with Edwina and her cooperative of batik dyers in Accra, Ghana, to make these prints! Learn more about these fabrics here!
In order to create a batik fabric, recycled wax is melted and applied to the fabric using a stamped pattern. Edwina carves each stamped design herself in foam, which is easier to repurpose and work with than wood. Together with several women in Accra, Ghana, Edwina and her team always create designs that play on both pattern and layered color in a truly original way. Since we began working together in 2018, we've produced over 40 unique textiles together, keeping them in continuous production since we started. We're so honored to share this collaboration with Edwina and her team!
- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoYay for batik shirts!
I tend to favor the shirts with batik fabrics as well as the lightweight linen/cotton fabrics from India that Zuri produces. They’re just so comfortable and easy to wear year round. The pattern of Polygon reminds me of when you fold an origami crane or flower then open it up flat again to see all the angular lines made in the paper. I love the bright watermelon pink color of the dye used in this too.
I hope they make more batik shirts - I just love them ♥️
Zuri OU1 week agoHi Elaine!
Thank you so much for your review of Polygon! We are so happy to hear that you're loving your new top! Your description comparing the pattern to unfolded origami is spot on - what a perfect way to capture the geometric beauty of those angular lines! <3
I've let our team know that you'd like to see more batik shirts in the future:)
Thank you again for your review of Polygon and for being such a wonderful part of our community! <3

Ever since we saw this drying in the Kenya sun, I knew I would jump on it! Beautiful color, and I found my piece shows a blending of dye batches , which makes it extra interesting. You should buy this shirt. So pretty, you may have eyes on you!
